From the beginning of Christianity, doctrine has been a problem. Many of the epistles in the New Testament were written to counter false doctrine. Every denomination and sect has its own set of doctrines, and one wonders, “Which group has the truth?” Does any have the whole truth?

In combating various dogmas and philosophies that had arisen in the Colossian church, Paul wrote, “Ye are complete in him” (Colossians 2:10), referring to their completeness in Christ, the head of the church. Our spiritual relationship with God is not through man’s imposition of his own authority upon others, nor even through angels, but only through Christ. As he also wrote, “Though we or an angel from heaven preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed” (Galatians 1:8). There is no supplementary source of grace or instruction that God has given us. They are to be found only in Christ and His word.

The message this Sunday a.m.: “Complete In Him”
