Colossians: The Supremacy of Christ Over All Things

About This Series

Paul's letter to the Colossians is a powerful proclamation of the absolute supremacy of Jesus Christ over all things. Written to combat false teaching that threatened to diminish Christ's person and work, this epistle presents Christ as the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation, and the head of the church. Paul systematically addresses various heresies while calling believers to live worthy of their calling in Christ.
