In this message from Colossians 1:1–6, Pastor Byron Chesney sets the focus squarely on what Paul calls "the word of the truth of the gospel." Preaching from Paul's prison letter to the church at Colosse, this sermon explains the believers' sure hope laid up in heaven, the fruit-bearing power of the true gospel, and the danger of drifting from sound doctrine. Paul's words are used to warn against false teaching, religious pride, and man-made substitutes for biblical truth, while clearly defining the gospel as the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ for sinners. This sermon is both a reminder to believers to stand firm on truth and a direct call to examine whether your hope is truly grounded in Christ alone.
