1) "The first thing that we see is that walking with Christ means that we must deepen our intimacy with him. We must have a deeper relationship with him. The first step that he says in verse 6 is that in walking with Christ we need to be. Remember last week Wes gave an analogy of two trees? Well guess what? We're back again. Being rooted or grounded refers to our positional status in the world. He supplies our needs and when he does so we grow stronger and more stable in our relationship with him. We get stronger and we're stronger." [38:31] (73 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)

2) "Walking in Christ also means that we have announced the insufficiency of him. We have to be removed. Beginning verse eight. Paul goes on to tell us, see to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty the seat. According to human tradition. For in him the whole. Thinking back to our introduction to this book. Were reminded. There were. There were Gentiles. There were other believers. There were Gnostics. There were all these other teachings that do we still face those dangers now? But if you look at the past, he says, see to it as a command to be mindful, to pay attention, and he goes on to say that running at risk, that's another strong word."

3) "But because of our relationship, we get to experience the fullness when Jesus died on the cross. He was the blood sacrifice for our sins. We need to remember that. And as followers of Christ, when we're baptized, and held there for a second, it's a connection between his burial and when we are brought up. It is because we no longer have to face the ultimate punishment. Our sin no longer condemns us to death, but instead we are able to be given a new life, a new purpose in heaven. But we're not just alive and restrained by our sins because God has forgiven us." [59:36] (91 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)

4) "The sins of our past, do not define us when we walk in Christ. we accept the forgiveness that was paid for with the blood of Jesus on the cross. Satan wants us to wallow in the sins of our past. He wants you to believe that the things that you've done make you unworthy of being in a relationship with him. He wants you to think, that your addiction to pornography is not to make you have an abortion. He has. He nailed it to for us. And we need to preach the victory tonight."

5) "He disarmed the rulers and authorities, put them in open shame. Paul was a saint, and he thought just like a conquering general who braved the defeated army, who braved them, and threw them through the streets of Rome. And he would be in front of them on a chariot. This is what Christ has. He has won. He has disarmed. We can trust this. We can go, sure, come on. That is like the best news ever, right? Because we don't have to do things like, we need to remember, this is more than sufficient. To make it." [01:03:41] (60 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)
