Colossians 2:6-7, 3:5-11

  1. Rowboat Mentality and the Christian Life
    1. John Bogle, founder of Vanguard Funds, in Donald Keough’s The Ten Commandements for Business Failure.
  2. How did we receive Christ?
    1. By faith and with repentance.
    2. Continue in Him. Why do we miss this?
  3. Our act of continuing faith, “put off, put on.”
    1. Sins of the flesh.
      1. Begins external and ends up internal.
    2. Sins of the heart.
      1. Begins internal and ends up external.
    3. Lying – the Devil is the father of lies. John 8:44.
  4. Key is Faith! “Take off the old self, put on the new self.”
    1. Problem: rowboat mentality. Go at the future only looking backward.
    2. New self is being renewed in knowledge.
    3. New self is being made in the image of its Creator.
  5. Ultimately it is all about Jesus.
