Series: Filled, Complete, Whole
Title: "Because of the Supremacy of Jesus"
Speaker: Jim Hammond

I. WHO he is, made WHAT he did, POSSIBLE

The Trinity & God’s Identity

Colossians 1:15-20
The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.

II. Jesus REVEALS God

Image of God

Colossians 1:15
The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.

III. Jesus RECONCILES us to God

Colossians 1:18-20
And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.

Real LIFE is from the Lord Jesus John 1:4-5 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. Acts 2:36 "Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah." Acts 3:15 You killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead. We are witnesses of this. 1 Corinthians 8:6 yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live. 2. Without Jesus you are SPIRITUALLY DEAD John 3:2-4 He came to Jesus at night and said, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has com...
