Hatfield Christian Church

Some things are ruined when you add to them. In the letter to the Colossians, Paul opens with a powerful declaration of Christ’s supremacy. The Colossians were being tempted to blend the Gospel with other beliefs – ceremony, legalism, angel worship, hidden knowledge. But Paul makes it clear: Jesus is not just part of the story – He is the WHOLE story. In this message, Pastor Louis unpacks what happens when we try to add to Jesus – and why that addition ultimately leads to subtraction. We’ll also look at modern forms of spiritual syncretism and how to remain steadfast in a culture that constantly tempts us to blend the Gospel with personal preferences or cultural norms. Jesus + Nothing = Everything.
