Contending Against Counterfeits

Christ Above All Title: Contending Against CounterfeitsSpeaker: Prince ThomasWe live in a time where there is no shortage of voices telling us who we are, how to live, and what will make us whole. Build your identity. Follow your truth. Find what works. And yet, beneath it all, many of us still feel the pressure to hold everything together, and the quiet question: Why does it still feel like something is missing?And for many, that pressure is only intensifying. Headlines of global conflict, economic uncertainty, and political tension can leave us unsettled, while closer to home, the weight of relationships, finances, health, and the future can quietly build. Whether far away or deeply personal, it can all create a lingering sense of anxiety about what is ahead.Christ Above All is a sermon series through the book of Colossians that invites us to reconsider who or what sits at the center of our lives. Because what resides at the core ultimately influences all other aspects. Rather than offering another strategy for self-improvement or a new layer of spiritual insight, Colossians points us to a Person. Not a version of Jesus shaped to fit our preferences, but the risen Christ who stands above all things and invites us to build our lives around Him.What changes when your identity is received instead of constructed, when the pressure to prove yourself begins to lift? What happens when your life is rooted instead of constantly reinvented, and your hope is anchored in something unshakable?Whether you are curious about Jesus, wrestling with faith, or longing to be re-centered in a noisy world, this is an invitation to see Him again. Join us each week as we journey through Colossians together and discover what it means to place Christ at the center of all things.Because Christ is above all things, He must be at the center of all things.
