Filled in Him

“Discover how the mystery of the incarnation reveals that the fullness of God is poured into your very humanity, providing the power to “walk in Him”.”

Sermon Summary

This morning we are starting a new sermon series. It is going to be a little bit different because it is really going to be focusing on Christian ethics: how it is that we should live. We are looking at Colossians 3, walking through these verses basically word for word.

In this section, Paul tells us to put to death what is earthly in us and then to put on holiness and godliness. But before we get to the to-do list, we really have to drill down into what it looks like to be in Him. This opening paragraph is the key to the entire chapter. It keeps this from being a "try to be good, stop doing bad, try harder" sermon series. The secret is all wrapped up in the fact that we have been raised with Christ and our life is now hidden with Christ in God.

Today, we delve into the phrase: "you have been filled in him".

The Incarnation: The fullness of God is poured into the fullness of our humanity.

The Exaltation: Jesus is the head of all rule and authority.

 Do you feel like the fullness of God has been poured into your humanity?. This is what the Scripture says is true of you if you are in Christ.
