The Preeminence of Christ | Colossians | Session 3

Colossians 1:15–23 draws the group into the heart of Paul’s message by lifting their eyes to the unmatched supremacy of Jesus. Rather than getting lost in philosophies, competing worldviews, or religious add-ons, this session recentres faith on the person of Christ—Creator, Sustainer, Head of the Church, and the One in whom the fullness of God dwells. Paul stacks phrase upon phrase not to overwhelm but to reawaken wonder, reminding believers that everything—visible and invisible—holds together in Him alone. From that foundation, the passage shifts to the miracle of reconciliation: people once alienated and hostile toward God are now made holy and blameless through Christ’s sacrifice. The session calls believers to continue steadfast in this gospel, resisting both the temptation to add to Jesus and the pressure to subtract from Him, holding fast to a faith built on Christ plus nothing and Christ minus nothing.
