Discover why rules become problematic when they prioritize religion over relationship with God, feed pride instead of humility, and lead to disconnection from Christ. Paul reminds believers that Jesus has already canceled our debt of sin by nailing it to the cross, freeing us from the burden of rule-keeping. Understand the fundamental difference between religion (man's quest for God) and the Gospel (God's quest for man). If you're feeling burdened by religious expectations or struggling to balance rules and relationship in your faith journey, this message offers biblical insight and practical guidance. Find freedom in Christ's invitation: 'Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.' Colossians, Week 6 Bradley Hodges, Worship Pastor July 6, 2025
