SCRIPTURE REFERENCES FOR THIS SERMON:
Colossians 2:11-15
2:11 In him you also were circumcised—not, however, with a circumcision performed by human hands, but by the removal of the fleshly body, that is, through the circumcision done by Christ.
12 Having been buried with him in baptism, you also have been raised with him through your faith in the power of God who raised him from the dead.
13 And even though you were dead in your transgressions and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, he nevertheless made you alive with him, having forgiven all your transgressions.
14 He has destroyed what was against us, a certificate of indebtedness expressed in decrees opposed to us. He has taken it away by nailing it to the cross.
15 Disarming the rulers and authorities, he has made a public disgrace of them, triumphing over them by the cross.
