Knowing the Mystery (Colossians 2:1-5)

On Sunday, May 14, 2023, Pastor Joe Troutman preached "Knowing the Mystery" from Colossians 2:1-5. "God makes us mature by knitting us together in love and giving us understanding of who Christ is and what he has done." 1. Struggle to Encourage (vs. 1-2a) 1 For I want you to know how great a struggle I have for you and for those at Laodicea and for all who have not seen me face to face, 2 that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, 2. Assurance of Understanding (vs. 2b-4) to reach all the riches of full assurance of understanding and the knowledge of God's mystery, which is Christ, 3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. 4 I say this in order that no one may delude you with plausible arguments.  3. Decently and in Good Order (v. 5) 5 For though I am absent in body, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good order and the firmness of your faith in Christ. mcopc.org/podcast
