The first week in a series in Colossians, Pastor Pete highlights how the early believers in Colossae struggled to follow Jesus amid a culture overflowing with competing religious ideas. Paul responds by declaring that Jesus is not one god among many, but the visible image of the invisible God, the Creator who holds all things together and reigns supreme above every power. The heart of the passage is that Jesus is not something we add to our lives, but the One around whom our entire lives must be centered. True Christian faith isn’t “Jesus AND…”, but Jesus IN all things—His supremacy shaping every part of who we are and what we do.
