Discussion Questions: April 20
Opening
What stood out to you from Sunday’s message?
Summary
Read Colossians 1.15-23
Our view of Jesus is too small. Like the church in Colossae, we are tempted to mix Jesus in with other spiritual views and practices, not believing that Jesus is enough. Paul writes to show that Jesus is supreme over all things, over all creation, over salvation and over you. Our response must be to live a life that puts Jesus first in all things.
