The believer who is growing on a firm foundation is constantly taking in the nourishment of sound doctrine. What is sound doctrine? Where do you find it? How can you be sure of it? What is the standard? What is the test? What should you do if your church's teaching does not pass the test?

We're going to focus on those questions as we continue our study in Colossians chapter two, on the subject of how to meet the challenge of Satan's triple threat to the believer and the church.
What is one of the best safeguards against doctrinal deviancy in the church? Colossians 2:7 tells us that it involves something we don't often think of in this connection: thanksgiving for Christ and His Word.

Ungratefulness for God's riches in Christ is the common failing of those who lead the church into apostasy, and those who follow them.

How can we guard against this danger? That's our focus today as we continue our study of what it means to grow on a firm foundation in Christ.
What do we see, when the keynote of thanksgiving for Christ and for the truth is present in the life, thinking, and message of the church? How does this help safeguard Christ's church against Satan's triple threats of worldly philosophy, legalism, and man-made doctrines? That's our focus today as we continue our series, "Truth Above All", in Colossians chapter two, verse seven.
When the keynote of thanksgiving for Christ and for the truth is present in the life, thinking, and message of the church -- it makes a great difference! It helps safeguard Christ's church against Satan's triple threats of worldly philosophy, legalism, and man-made doctrines. How does thanksgiving accomplish this? That's our focus today as we continue our series, "Truth Above All", in Colossians chapter two, verse seven.
You can tell the strength of the roots of a tree when strong winds blow. Some trees stand firm, while others come crashing to the ground.

The same is true in the spiritual realm. You can tell the strength of a person's spiritual roots when the winds of false doctrine blow through the church.

What kind of spiritual roots are you putting down, and are you putting them down in the right place? That's our focus today as we continue our series titled "Truth Above All" fromm Colossians chapter two.
Who are the saints of God? Is sainthood limited to a relatively few dead people who have received that designation by the authority of a church hierarchy? Or is sainthood the title of living people - of every believer on the Lord Jesus Christ - a title conferred by the hand of God? We're going to learn the answer to this important question as we continue our study of God's warning against counterfeit worship in Colossians chapter two.
Satan uses one basic method to try to trip up Christians in their walk with the Lord. He tries to make us doubt God and forget the promises of His Word. Thus he introduces confusion into our thinking.

One of Satan's most clever ways of doing this is not the outright lie, but the implied lie. We're going to look at this device of Satan, and God's answer to it, in a two-part series.
God has made a great promise that is to serve as the motivation for separated, Christ-like living on the part of every believer. What is that promise?
Do you think of the Bible's command for believers to be separate from the world as something restrictive or limiting? The Bible actually says that the opposite is true.
Spiritual separation from the unsaved under your own roof is one of the greatest challenges for many Christians.
