Is He Exalted? (Colossians 1:18 and Various Passages)

For the next three weeks, we’re going to take some time away from John to focus on the type of church we want to be in 2025. In fact, this isn’t just the type of church we want to be, it’s the type of church we must be. In 2025 and beyond, we aim to be Christ-Exalting, Church-Equipping, and Culture-Engaging, all for the glory of God. Join us this weekend for our first installment on what it looks like for us to be Christ-Exalting and the important part you play in that pursuit.00:00 Christ Exalting Christians00:17 The Call to Commitment: Uncle Sam Analogy01:55 Holistic Christ Exaltation02:21 Exploring Colossians 1:1804:05 Christ's Preeminence in the Church04:12 Jesus as the Head, Beginning, and Firstborn12:19 The Doctrine of Christ's Lordship13:45 Practical Steps to Make Christ Preeminent16:39 Attention: Christ in Our Thoughts20:47 Morning Mindset: Setting Your Intentions21:21 Starting Your Day with God22:15 Christ in Everyday Thoughts23:39 Christ in Suffering and Challenges25:01 Journaling and Reflecting on Christ26:08 Affections: Loving Jesus Daily33:18 Actions: Living as a 24/7 Christian39:50 Concluding Thoughts and Communion
