Text: Colossians 1:15–29

Big Idea of the Message: First, and foremost, in having a fresh revelation of Jesus Christ is to see Him as Lord of all, King of Kings. Paul gives us the foundational truths to understand the person of Jesus Christ (what theologians call Christology). So that we can understand the power and authority that can reign, through him, in my life.

Could you run a board games evening, go for a walk, or host a quiz? Are there things that you can work on together to love your neighbour and BLESS the world around you?
