Sermon Overview
In this first installment, Reidhead sets the stage by describing the "Colossian Heresy"—a blend of legalism and mysticism. He asserts that the antidote to all spiritual error is a clear vision of Christ as the "Image of the Invisible God" and the "Head of the Body." He encourages the church to find its completion in Him alone.
Key Principles
Colossian Heresy:Identify modern "mixes" of Christ + Legalism or Christ + Mysticism as dangerous errors.
Antidote to Error: Fix your eyes on the Personof Christ; a clear vision of Him is the only cure for false teaching.
Absolute Preeminence:Give Christ the "first place" in your schedule, your finances, and your thoughts.
Image of Invisible God:Look to Jesus as the only perfect and final revelation of what God the Father is like.
Setting Minds Above:Practice the daily discipline of "re-centering" your thoughts on the heavenly reality of Christ.
Walking Worthy: Evaluate every action by the question: "Is this conduct worthy of the Lord who bought me?"
Antidote to Mysticism:Rely on the written Word and the historical Christ rather than seeking "new" secret revelations.
