    • Sermon Notes

    In both the ancient and modern church, there is an ongoing temptation to push Jesus to the fringes. This causes our faith to become warped and immobilized. Only with Christ at the center will our faith be firm and fruitful.
    The Apostle Paul puts Jesus back at the center, declaring his preeminence in all things. Specifically he notes that Jesus is:

    • The invisible God made visible
    • Lord of the created world
    • The one in whom and through whom God made the world
    • Supreme over all unseen spiritual powers, good or evil
    • The final purpose and goal of creation
    • The one in whom all things hold together

      • Sermon Application

      Discussion Questions:

      1. Explain the difference between a hoop and a wheel. What role does Jesus play in the "wheel of faith"?
      2. What does "firstborn" mean in Colossians 1:15? Does that mean Jesus was created?
      3. In what ways is Jesus holding all things together? Is there a particular area in your life where you need to hold onto this truth?
      4. Can someone have a grounded, vibrant, and fruitful faith without a particular focus on Jesus?
      5. What are some practical ways that we can grow in our knowledge and love of Jesus?
      6. What place does theology have in the life of discipleship? Is it important?
