Saturated with the Word

James Gudgeon November, 16 2025 Video & Audio
Colossians 3:16
The sermon centres on the transformative power of Christ as the living bread that satisfies spiritual hunger, calling believers to a life of continual renewal through the indwelling Word of God. Drawing from Colossians 3, it emphasises the ongoing battle between the old nature—marked by lust, greed, anger, and deceit—and the new nature, which is being renewed in the image of Christ through the Holy Spirit. True spiritual vitality is not found in emotional experiences or musical spectacle, but in the deep, abiding presence of Scripture, which shapes thought, guides conduct, and fuels genuine worship. The Word of Christ, when dwelt in richly, produces wisdom, mutual instruction, heartfelt praise, and a holy life marked by gratitude and peace. Ultimately, the Christian life is a daily surrender to Christ, where the heart is transformed, the mind is saturated with divine truth, and worship flows from a contrite spirit that finds its joy and strength in the person and work of Jesus alone.
