In Colossians Chapter 2, Paul emphasizes the personal nature of Christ’s supremacy. Jesus is not only supreme over eternity, creation, and the church, but also over our lives. Paul urges us to walk in Jesus as needy beggars, receiving grace and the security of having our lives governed by His supremacy.
Sermon Series
Joy in Suffering
Our suffering can become a window into the immense love God has for us!
A Superior Attraction
Paul presents a clear, well-reasoned case for the supremacy of Jesus Christ. Knowing about His supremacy doesn’t make Him supreme in our lives; our insecurities stem from trying to make ourselves supreme, knowing we can’t save ourselves. What truly draws us to Jesus is understanding that He uses His supremacy for us out of love.
Security for the Insecure
Insecurity manifests as self-doubt or overconfidence, making us prone to false truths or proving our knowledge. The Colossians faced similar issues, and Apostle Paul urged them to find security in Christ alone. Jesus, as the fullness of God, offers grace and mercy, making us beloved children of God. This security frees us from false teachings and pride, supporting our souls and Christ’s mission.
The Peace of God
“We all long for peace, but life is full of conflicts. True peace, the kind that surpasses all understanding, remains amid the turmoil and is only found in Jesus. Come and discover how you can find peace in Him.
New Covenant Praying
The incarnation turns our prayers into praise!
Hope of Grace and Truth
We all seek the strength to face life. In darkness, strength is tied to position, power, wealth, and influence. Believing we need ‘enough’ of these is a never-ending struggle. Jesus came to free us from this lie and give us grace. His undeserved favor is the strength we need to face life’s struggles.
Take Hope You Are a Child of God
Our culture desperately seeks identity amidst confusion and darkness. We mistakenly believe that self-determination brings joy and fulfillment, but it only leads to loneliness and despair. The Light of Christ enters our darkness to transform us into beloved children of God.
The Grace to Serve
In Joshua’s final words to Israel, he reminds them of God’s gracious work and calls them to serve the Lord. God’s grace is the foundation for humble and faithful service, not an excuse for inaction. As followers of Jesus Christ, we are recipients of greater grace and are called to serve humbly and faithfully in our communities.
Gospel Unity vs Religious Uniformity
Jesus said the world will believe our message by the way we love one another. Gospel unity is so essential to our witness but so rare.
