How the Gospel Became the Gospel

“How the Gospel Became the Gospel”

Colossians 2:13-15 Troy Dobbs, Senior Pastor Sunday, March 12, 2017

Colossians 2:13-15  And you, who were dead in your trespasses

13

and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, 14 by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross. 15 He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him.

What is God saying to us today? Three questions to consider: 1. If you’re here—are you alive?

2. If you’re alive—are you aware?

3. If you’re alive—do you know why you are alive?
