Who Are We?

This Sunday's sermon, given by Lisa Setty, focused on Colossians 2:6-19 and Psalm 138.
Colossians 2:6-19 (CEB)
So live in Christ Jesus the Lord in the same way as you received him.  Be rooted and built up in him, be established in faith, and overflow with thanksgiving just as you were taught.  See to it that nobody enslaves you with philosophy and foolish deception, which conform to human traditions and the way the world thinks and acts rather than Christ. 
 
All the fullness of deity lives in Christ’s body.  And you have been filled by him, who is the head of every ruler and authority.  You were also circumcised by him.
 
This wasn’t performed by human hands—the whole body was removed through this circumcision by Christ.  You were buried with him through baptism and raised with him through faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead. 
 
When you were dead because of the things you had done wrong and because your body wasn’t circumcised, God made you alive with Christ and forgave all the things you had done wrong.  He destroyed the record of the debt we owed, with its requirements that worked against us.
 
He canceled it by nailing it to the cross.  When he disarmed the rulers and authorities, he exposed them to public disgrace by leading them in a triumphal parade.
 
So don’t let anyone judge you about eating or drinking or about a festival, a new moon observance, or sabbaths.  These religious practices are only a shadow of what was coming—the body that cast the shadow is Christ.  Don’t let anyone who wants to practice harsh self-denial and worship angels rob you of the prize.
 
They go into detail about what they have seen in visions and have become unjustifiably arrogant by their selfish way of thinking.  They don’t stay connected to the head. The head nourishes and supports the whole body through the joints and ligaments, so the body grows with a growth that is from God.

Psalm 138 (CEB)
I give thanks to you with all my heart, Lord.
    I sing your praise before all other gods.
I bow toward your holy temple
    and thank your name
    for your loyal love and faithfulness
        because you have made your name and word
        greater than everything else.
On the day I cried out, you answered me.
    You encouraged me with inner strength.
Let all the earth’s rulers give thanks to you, Lord,
    when they hear what you say.
Let them sing about the Lord’s ways
    because the Lord’s glory is so great!
Even though the Lord is high,
    he can still see the lowly,
    but God keeps his distance from the arrogant.
Whenever I am in deep trouble,
    you make me live again;
    you send your power against my enemies’ wrath;
    you save me with your strong hand.
The Lord will do all this for my sake.
Your faithful love lasts forever, Lord!
    Don’t let go of what your hands
    have made.
