Is Jesus Enough for You? | Colossians 2:16-23

Summary

We often tell ourselves that we need to be enough for God. But we do not need to add anything to the gospel in order to be accepted by God. Instead we should be asking ourselves: is Jesus enough for us? When we receive the truth of the gospel, we can rest knowing that we are already fully accepted and loved by God.

Key Takeaways

As believers, we can fall into believing these lies that we need to do the following in order to be enough for God:

• Lie #1: You need to do more to be enough for God (Colossians 2:16-17)
• Lie #2: You need to experience more to be enough for God (Colossians 2:18-19)
• Lie #3: You need to sacrifice more to be enough for God (Colossians 20-23)

Discussing and Applying the Sermon Guide

• Are there areas in your life where you are striving, because you don’t feel you’re good enough for God? If so, confess this to God and ask Him to remind you of the gospel.
• Think about your spiritual activities over the last week, and ask yourself: Why did I do these spiritual activities? Be honest with your answer, and evaluate if you are striving to earn God’s love.
• Do you pursue God through experiences, or do you enjoy God and allow Him to lead you to experiencing greater intimacy with Him?
• What is one way you can remind yourself of the gospel this week?
