WHO IS JESUS?

Colossians 1:15-20

 

Who is Jesus? That question, today, is met with a whole variety of answers. It seems everyone has their own opinion of who Jesus is. But what really matters is who did Jesus say He was? How did He reveal Himself to His apostles? In Colossians 1:15-20, Paul shares what God revealed to him, and he shares it with the Christians at Colossae and with us. Everyone will face this question, “What will you do with Jesus?” This Sunday Pastor Mike will give the nine things that we find in this passage and how that forms a strong foundation upon which to live our lives.
