About this episode

Pastor Dan Cronin discusses the dangers of replacing Jesus with empty religious practices, emphasizing that true satisfaction is found in a relationship with Christ.

📖 Colossians 2:16–23 What if the greatest danger to your faith isn't rejecting Jesus—but slowly replacing Him? In Week 6 of our Jesus Over Everything series, we explore Paul's warning to the church in Colossae about settling for shadows when the reality is found in Christ. We look at: 👉 The difference between shadows and substance 👉 Why Jesus is enough 👉 The danger of empty religion and spiritual performance 👉 What it means to stay connected to Christ, the Head 👉 How real transformation comes through relationship, not rules Many people spend their lives chasing spiritual experiences, religious activity, or self-improvement, only to discover that none of those things can truly satisfy. Paul reminds us that everything we need is found in Jesus. When you have the Saviour, don't settle for shadows. 📍 Heart Church, Morecambe ☕ Coffee from 10am 🙌 Gathering starts at 10:30am 👶 Heart Creche, Kids & Youth available Key Scripture: Colossians 2:16–23 Series: Jesus Over Everything 👉 “Jesus is the substance.
