What Wondrous Love Sanctuary Choir

What wondrous love is this
O my soul O my soul What wondrous love is this O my soul What wondrous love is this That caused the Lord of bliss To bear the dreadful curse For my soul

Sinking down sinking down Sinking down Beneath God's righteous frown
When I was sinking down Sinking down sinking down Sinking down Beneath God's righteous frown Christ laid aside His crown For my soul

While millions join the theme
To God and to the Lamb I will sing I will sing I will sing Who is the great I AM - While millions join the theme

To God and to the Lamb Who is the great I AM - While millions join the theme I will sing

Doxology Praise God from whom all blessings flow
Praise Him all creatures here below Praise Him above ye heavenly host Praise Father Son and Holy Ghost Amen

Colossians 2:1–7 (NASB) For I want you to know how great a struggle I have on your behalf and for those who are at Laodicea, and for all those who have not personally seen my face, 2 that their hearts may be encouraged, having been knit together in love,

Colossians 2:1–7 (NASB) and attaining to all the wealth that comes from the full assurance of understanding, resulting in a true knowledge of God’s mystery, that is, Christ Himself, 3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

Colossians 2:1–7 (NASB) 4 I say this so that no one will delude you with persuasive argument. 5 For even though I am absent in body, nevertheless I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good discipline and the stability of your faith in Christ.

Colossians 2:1–7 (NASB) 6 Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, 7 having been firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and established in your faith, just as you were instructed, and overflowing with gratitude.

CIE: to Encourage and Stabilize the Church
We live in a world that constantly tells us Christ is not enough, that urges us to seek spiritual satisfaction in things less than Christ. Satan would like nothing more than to derail the church by asking us, as He asked Eve in the Garden, “has God really said? Is Christ really enough to satisfy? Is God holding something back from us?”

The word delude means “to count wrong.” Whenever you encounter an argument, no matter how persuasive, no matter how enticing the words, if it leads you to doubt Christ is enough, the argument is using inaccurate spiritual math; they have counted wrong.

To counter every argument that undermines the sufficiency of Christ (4): 1) we must be encouraged in Christ (1–3), 2) we be unwavering in our faith (5), and 3) we must keep walking in the Christ of the Bible (6–7).

1. We must be encouraged in Christ (1–3).

His ministry “involved hard work often in difficult circumstances and against dedicated opponents” (Moo, 164).

Paul mentions his struggle so we will know Jesus is worth the fight; so our hearts might be encouraged/comforted (2). He wants the encouragement to reach our hearts, to “touch the deepest part of our being and affect every aspect of [who we are] (Moo, 165).

If you are in a community of sinners saved by grace who delight to rejoice in what Christ has done for them and in them and who welcome one another on the basis of what Christ has done – the world’s arguments have no attraction.

Why would you keep an open mind on a closed case?

The word treasures (3) is the word for repository or storehouse. If you bank your life on Jesus, you will never exhaust the wisdom from God and knowledge of God available to you.

2. We must be unwavering in our faith (5).

In verse 4, we learn “all that has been written before has been written to keep believers from being deceived by ‘fine-sounding arguments.’” Why? Because Paul “knows how perilously easy it is for believers to be led astray by high-flown rhetoric (or, in our day, by ‘multimedia presentations’)” (172).

Paul is warning us against fads that only flirt with the truths of Christ while playing up what man can do.

Is the faith once and for all delivered to the saints the priority for you, for your family?

Both casual faith and careless faith always drift away from the truth that Christ is enough.

3. We must keep walking in the Christ of the Bible (6–7).

Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk in Him. Colossians 2:6

Here Paul uses the word “received” to communicate that faith in Christ “is not only a matter of believing “in” His person; it also involves a commitment to the apostolic teaching about Christ and His significance” (Moo, 177).

Christ is enough if you have trusted in the right Christ.

We “let Christ – and no other! for He is Lord – establish our values, guide our thinking and direct our conduct” (Moo, 179).

When we uproot our lives from our own plans and agendas for Jesus and His agenda, God permanently gives us a new root system. And, as we keep overflowing in giving thanks to God for our life in Christ, the Spirit keeps on building us in Christ and establishing us or making us firm in the faith.

The Christ who lived, died, rose, ascended and is coming again for me – He is Lord, and He is enough.

Response

Breathe on Me

Holy Spirit breathe on me Until my heart is clean
Let sunshine fill its inmost part With not a cloud between

Breathe on me breathe on me Holy Spirit breathe on me
Take Thou my heart cleanse ev'ry part

Holy Spirit breathe on me My stubborn will subdue
Teach me in words of living flame What Christ would have me do

Holy Spirit breathe on me Fill me with pow'r divine
Kindle a flame of love and zeal Within this heart of mine

Holy Spirit breathe on me Until my will is lost in Thine
Till I am all Thine own Until my will is lost in Thine To live for Thee alone

Postlude for Worship Martha Short

Soul on Fire

God I'm running for Your heart I'm running for Your heart
Till I am a soul on fire

Lord I'm longing for Your ways
I'm waiting for the day When I am a soul on fire Till I am a soul on fire

Lord, restore the joy I had I have wandered bring me back
In this darkness lead me through Until all I see is You

Lord let me burn for You again Let me return to You again
And Lord let me burn for You again And let me return to You again

All I Have is Christ

I once was lost in darkest night Yet thought I knew the way The sin that promised joy and life Had led me to the grave

I had no hope that You would own A rebel to Your will And if You had not loved me first I would refuse You still

But as I ran my hell-bound race Indifferent to the cost
You looked upon my helpless state And led me to the cross

And I beheld God’s love displayed You suffered in my place
You bore the wrath reserved for me Now all I know is grace

Hallelujah! All I have is Christ Hallelujah! Jesus is my life

Now Lord I would be Yours alone And live so all might see
The strength to follow Your commands Could never come from me

O Father use my ransomed life And let my song forever be
In any way You choose And let my song forever be My only boast is You

Hallelujah! All I have is Christ Hallelujah! Jesus is my life

Hosanna

Praise is rising Eyes are turning to You We turn to You
Hope is stirring Hearts are yearning for You We long for You

We find strength To face the day
'Cause when we see You We find strength To face the day In Your presence all our fears Are washed away Washed away

Hosanna Hosanna You are the God Who saves us Worthy of all our praises

Hosanna Hosanna Come have Your Way among us
We welcome You here Lord Jesus

Hear the sound of hearts Returning to You We turn to You
In Your Kingdom Broken lives are made new You make us new

We find strength To face the day
'Cause when we see You We find strength To face the day In Your presence all our fears Are washed away Washed away

Hosanna Hosanna You are the God Who saves us Worthy of all our praises

Hosanna Hosanna Come have Your Way among us
We welcome You here Lord Jesus

Great I Am

So Heaven is real and death is a lie
I want to be close – Close to Your side So Heaven is real and death is a lie I want to hear voices Of angels above Singing as one

God Almighty - Great I Am Who is worthy - none beside Thee
Hallelujah - Holy Holy God Almighty - Great I Am Who is worthy - none beside Thee

Loving the world - hating the dark
I want to be near – Near to Your heart Loving the world - hating the dark I want to see dry bones living again Singing as one

The mountains shake before You At the mention of Your name
The demons run and flee At the mention of Your name King of majesty

There is no power in hell And the Presence of the Great I Am
Or any who can stand Before the power And the Presence of the Great I Am The Great I Am

The Great I Am
