Sermon: Full Assurance and Firm Faith

“Full Assurance and Firm Faith” Colossians 2:1-5                June 14, 2026 Pastor Nathan Currey   ----more---- Colossians 2:1 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, 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. 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.    Because life can be confusing and unsettling, we need to cultivate a secure and settled faith in Christ.       •   What does assurance mean?         •   How do I gain it?         •   How do I keep it?      "The more clearly Christ is known, the more settled the heart becomes."   Thomas Manton
