Where's The Hope? | Lost Connection (Andrew Allison)

Colossians 2:20-3:4 - The believers in Colosse were struggling. We can't avoid it; we bring religious baggage with us when we come to trust Jesus. In our day it's more likely that people go to church and think God should be chill and adjust to their thinking and preferences.  2000 years ago it was the opposite; people brought rules and restrictions, believing that God (or the gods) needed to be placated with displays of earnestness. They basically guessed what God wanted. Paul wanted those believers to guess no more! Get back and stay with the core of Christianity, which is, I hope, obvious: Jesus!
