What if the restless ache you keep trying to fix with busyness, success, or even family devotion is really a hunger for Christ’s supremacy? We walk through Colossians 1 and confront our habit of adding to Jesus—mixing the gospel with performance, mysticism, or self-help—and show why only Christ can carry the full weight of our identity, purpose, belonging, security, and hope. This isn’t about nice ideas; it’s about a new center of gravity that steadies your soul.

We begin with a tender family story of faithfulness and longing, then look at how a scarcity mindset pushes us to hoard control while promising rest that never comes. From there, we open the text: Jesus as the image of the invisible God, firstborn over creation, the One who holds all things together and reconciles enemies into family through His blood. We explore how grounding your life in this truth changes your daily choices, your relationships, and the way you face pressure and disappointment.

Finally, we talk about maturity and mission. Gospel ministry is costly and often inconvenient, but Paul’s joy in suffering reframes our expectations. We labor together, not in our own strength, but in His. The goal is a church that grows up into Christ: worshiping weekly, practicing community, reading Scripture, praying, and discipling with patience and courage. He’s all we got—and He’s all we need.
