July 12, 2015 Series: Stand Alone Sermons

Topic: Colossians Passage: Colossians 1:15–1:17


The Supremacy of Christ
Colossians 1:15-18

Why do I need my heart circumcised? Deut 30:6; Col 2:8-15

Why must I see Christ as Supreme over all? Because…

I. He is the IMAGE of the invisible God (Col 1:15a)

II. He is the FIRSTBORN over all creation (Col 1:15b-17)     

        Why?Paul gives us 5 reasons:

  1. 16a for in Him all things were created = He is the sphere of creation
              All things regardless of location, Visibility or rank.
              Every person, place & rank is subject to His Authority.
  2. 16b all thing have been created through Him= He is the Personal Agent of Creation
  3. 16c and for Him= He is The ultimate purpose of all creation
  4. 17a He is before all things. He is The Sovereign over all creation
  5. 17b in Him all things hold together = He Continues personal involvement in Creation

III. He is the HEAD of the body, the church (Col 1:18)
