Colossians 1

As we start our new Sunday series on Colossians, Pastor Jared talks about the supremacy of Christ (how Jesus is over and in everything), and what that means for our lives. Here are some questions to think about as you listen!

- Colossae, the church Paul was writing to in his letter to the Colossians, was a very diverse city, made up of all different kinds of people; yet the Christians were known throughout the city by their love. What would it look like for you and for us as a group of believers to be known by our love in our homes, schools, workplaces, and communities this week?

- In Colossians 1:9, Paul prays that God would show the people of the church in Colossians God's COMPLETE will, and give them spiritual wisdom and understanding. This is a BIG prayer - what would happen if we prayed more big prayers like this? Have you ever prayed what you would consider a "big" prayer?

- In Colossians 1:13-14, Paul talks about how Jesus fought the battle over darkness for us, helping us to have an inheritance of freedom as his people. Does your faith and relationship with Jesus help you to live/feel free?

- What difference does Jesus really make in your life? How is your life different because of your belief in Jesus?
