The Problem with Extra-Pure Christianity

from Heritage Sermons · host Heritage Bible Church

Colossians 2:20-23 | Fulness in Christ | Trent Hunter This Sermon brings us to the close of chapter 2 in the book of Colossians, and with it the conclusion of Paul’s energetic, labored, and often sarcastic words against what we’re calling “add-on Christianity.” In the case of verses 20–23 Paul address what we’ll call “Extra-Pure Christianity,” an attempt to regulate God’s people to holiness through the control of external behavior. In the process, not only do we fool ourselves into thinking we’re making spiritual progress, but we neglect the deepest truths about ourselves in Christ.
