And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.
Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ. Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you. Such people also go into great detail about what they have seen, and their unspiritual minds puff them up with idle notions. They have lost connection with the head, from whom the whole body, supported and held together by its ligaments and sinews, grows as God causes it to grow.
Since you died with Christ to the elemental spiritual forces of this world, why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its rules: “Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!”? These rules, which have to do with things that are all destined to perish with use, are based on merely human commands and teachings. Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humility and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence.
Is it possible for those who edit these videos to be more careful about cutting them short. Not just WH, but this happens on a lot of podcast sermons from other churches too, where they’ll cut them short during the prayer. It happens on a couple sermons a week and it’s frustrating. Anyways great message, and I was really into the prayer at the end but it was cut off. Maybe there’s a technical reason I don’t get. Thanks.
I checked the mp3 and it wasn’t cut short, it was the mp4 video download.
Sorry about that Matt! We’ll try to watch that in the future!

I did not experience the prayer being cut short. The video ended right when Greg said amen.
We watch Greg every week here in Ireland. He is such a brilliant teacher of the word of God and so balanced.
God bless Greg and your church and thank you for making this availabe to us.
This helps me a great deal. I must have the best developed
internal critic ever. So I end up making big deals about
everything.
I have experienced Christ’s love. Perhaps I should channel more of my energy towards experiencing more of it.
Thanks.
Touche Greg…………
@ the 12:25 point of this talk while is Greg describing the Gnostics viewpoint that with secret knowledge and the help of these angels you get to have
“YOUR BEST LIFE NOW”.
