What does the supremacy of Christ have to do with your hope?
In this session of Colossians: Rooted & Renewed, we walk verse by verse through Colossians chapter 1 and discover how Paul connects the supremacy of Jesus to the unshakable hope believers have — and the hope we can confidently offer a lost world.
If you’ve ever wondered:
• What does “firstborn of all creation” really mean?
• Does Colossians 1 teach that Jesus is God?
• What does it mean to be “delivered from the domain of darkness”?
• Can we lose our salvation in Colossians 1:23?
• How does “Christ in you, the hope of glory” change how we live today?
This message explores the powerful theology of prototokos (firstborn), redemption (apolutrosis), reconciliation, and the cosmic language Paul uses to describe Jesus as Creator, Sustainer, and Head of the Church.
We’ll also connect:
📖 Colossians 1:5 — “the hope laid up for you in heaven”
📖 Colossians 1:15–20 — the supremacy and deity of Christ
📖 Colossians 1:21–23 — the “now and not yet” of reconciliation
📖 Colossians 1:27 — “Christ in you, the hope of glory”
📖 Revelation 19:9 — the marriage supper of the Lamb
Because when Christ is supreme, our hope is secure. This is not abstract theology. This is fuel for endurance, joy in suffering, confidence in salvation, and courage in mission.
