02/26/23 In Forgiveness... He is Preeminent | Pastor Matthew Watkins

Pastor Matthew continues our series in Colossians, "In All Things... Christ's Preeminence" by opening chapter 2, verses 11-23. Paul is addressing the legalism that was rampant in Colosse - when legalism comes into the picture, forgiveness takes a backseat because it becomes more about us than it does about Christ. “Forgiveness is the divine miracle of grace; it cost God the Cross of Jesus Christ before He could forgive sin and remain a holy God… When once you realize all that it cost God to forgive you, you will be held as in a vice, constrained by the love of God.” - Oswald Chambers
