Jesus Plus Nothing: Finding Completeness in Christ Alone

In this Colossians bonus episode, you will step beneath the surface of familiar verses and into the steady, radiant center of the letter where the message is simple and uncompromising: Jesus plus nothing.

When my mind races and my heart reaches for control, bring me back to You. Teach me to walk in You, rooted and built up, strengthened in faith, and overflowing with gratitude.Help me put off what is false—striving, bitterness, fear, and the need to prove myself. Clothe me with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Where I have been wounded, teach me forgiveness. Where I have been divided, bind me together with love.Let Your peace rule in me. Let Your word dwell in me richly. And in everything I do—my work, my conversations, my quiet moments—make my life a witness that You are enough.
