A river overflowing its banks can be a catastrophic event. This dangerous situation often begins by a small trickle running outside the natural boundaries of the river. This trickle creates another channel. The water flows, the channel widens and allows more water to flow. Soon a torrent of water is gushing outside the normal riverbanks. In a sermon called "Stay the Course", we look at Colossians 1:21-23 where we will see Paul remind the Colossians of the amazing truth of how they are reconciled to God through what Jesus did for them on the cross. But then he warns them to keep going in the gospel, to not deviate in any other direction, to stay the course. We need to hear this truth today as, just like them, we are often tempted to wander from the gospel in big and little ways. We, too, need to "Stay the Course."

Listening to sermons online can be a great way to keep up with a sermon series if you are unable to attend church but should never be a substitute for regular attendance of a gospel-centered and bible teaching church.
