Most of All, Believe THIS!
Of all the things that we should believe about God and God's Word, we must make sure that we believe that God loves us, because God's love is the answer to our fundamental flaw.

Finding Freedom
The Colossians were being told how to deal with the demands of deity: be spiritual, do this, don't do that, don't eat this, don't touch that, be this kind of person, follow the rules. One thing religion does is try to offer a way to get free of the things that bring us guilt and shame for the things we did or shouldn't have done or things we didn't do that we should have, or things that were done to us that make us feel fearful and inferior and ashamed. Religion is about rules to follow, or ways to get on God's good side or to feel good about yourself as a person. Some religions tell you that you have nothing really to feel guilty or ashamed of because God is such a nice guy and always just understands that boys will be boys and girls will be girls. Religion almost always involves guilt and shame management. In this message from Colossians 2 we show you that Jesus can free you from guilt and shame from the things in your past.

Mocked and Reviled
Mark recounts Jesus' crucifixion, but his focus is not on the physical brutality (though it was excruciating). Rather, he focuses on the substitution that Jesus makes for us, both in bearing our sin and in removing our shame.

The Gospel: God's Power for Salvation (Romans 1:16-17)
We should not feel ashamed of the gospel because it is the power of God for salvation; because it is for everyone; and because it reveals and provides the righteousness of and from God that is necessary for us to be accepted by God. Apart from the gospel we have no hope, but for everyone who believes, the gospel is a sure and certain and powerful hope, providing for our greatest need.

The Death of Jesus, Part 1 (Mark 15:16-39)
The Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many. Mark highlights the irony that Jesus is mocked as king, but he is in fact king of all. Jesus suffers not only physical pain, but also the very wrath of God, in fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy and types, and to secure our salvation and life by suffering in our place. We are no longer separated from the presence of and fellowship with God, and in fact the crucifixion reveals clearly God's love for us. The only proper response is for us to worship in awe and gratitude.

Christ and the Transparency of His People
Every one of us says that we dislike hypocrites - people who pretend to be what they are not. Yet, truth be told, we are all hypocrites. We are all actors. In our relationships with other people we do not allow them to see our true selves, we allow them to see the character we have created for ourselves. This character is attractive and is designed to appeal to our audience and to protect our true self from being exposed. It's not that we don't want to be known. We just don't want certain parts of us to be known. So we wear masks. This is simply the reality of our lives. But as the People of God we are called and empowered to be transparent to the deepest level. Listen in as we explore what causes us to wear masks and what frees us from our need from them.
