All things | Colossians

In this episode, we continue our series through the book of Colossians, which centers on the supremacy of Jesus over all things. Last week, we introduced this powerful letter written by the Apostle Paul to the church in Colossae—a young congregation facing the influence of false teachers. These teachers promoted a blend of Jewish legalism, mysticism, and early Gnostic ideas, suggesting that faith in Jesus wasn’t enough. They argued that true spirituality required following certain religious practices and rituals, diminishing the authority of Jesus by treating Him as just one spiritual being among many. Paul, writing from prison, was informed of these issues by Epaphras, leading him to pen this letter. His goal was to correct these distortions by reminding the church of the supremacy and sufficiency of Christ. It’s not Jesus plus something else—it’s Jesus over everything. He is enough. As a new church, our aim is to put Jesus over all things in our lives. To do that, we must truly see Him for who He is. Colossians 1:15-23 gives us one of the clearest and most powerful portraits of Christ in the New Testament. These verses exalt Jesus as the image of the invisible God, the Creator, Sustainer, and Redeemer of all things. Just as the Colossians faced cultural pressures that distorted their view of Jesus, we too live in a world that tries to diminish His greatness. The enemy uses doubts, rumors, and half-truths to attack our faith and sow confusion. But as we study these rich and profound truths, I pray that we gain greater clarity and confidence in who Jesus truly is. Join us as we explore Colossians 1:15-23, and may these verses deepen our understanding and surrender to Christ’s Lordship over every area of our lives.
