An underwritten spirituality with no threat of default

Colossians 1:15-20

The Christian gospel speaks into a situation like the one we find ourselves today, with fear and insecurity rife. Paul’s famous hymn in Colossians 1 concerning the Lord Jesus—who he is and what he has done—meets our deepest need and answers the most important questions of life. This talk also includes a Q&A.

Colossians 1:15-20

15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. 16 For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. 17 And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. 19 For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.
