Jesus Christ: Paramount, Premier, Preeminent.
A young church has made valiant progress of taking root and growing in the midst of a hostile environment. It does face a serious enemy, however, so lethal that left unchecked, the future of this congregation is in peril. No, the enemy was not external like the authorities in far away Rome or the heathen who were near. This enemy was internal and, like a life-threatening disease, was poised to eat the church alive.
Who is this ‘enemy?’ It is called heresy and has declared war against the ancient church. That war still rages today.
The Apostle Paul, writing from prison to a church he had never visited, gives them the best advice in heaven and earth: ‘As you have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk
in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving’ (Colossians 2:6-7 NKJV)
In this study of the New Testament Book of Colossians, you will learn the supremacy, primacy, and preeminence of Jesus Christ in all things. He is the answer to every situation, including heresy, falsehood, division, sin and death.
Kameel Majdali takes you through the entirety of Colossians. You will learn:
Why Jesus Christ is Number One;
How this epistle could be the most ‘Christological’ or ‘Christ-centered’ of all New Testament books;
How Christ and the cults collide (guess who wins);
How to live a God-pleasing, heavenly minded lifestyle.
As you learn the book of Colossians, be prepared to live a new life!
