Paul wastes no time getting to the theme of his letter to the Colossians: the Preeminence of Christ. What does it mean to be preeminent, and how is Christ so?
(Preaching through Colossians. This sermon was preached at the Dewey Church of Christ on June 20, 2021.)
In considering heavenly values, or “Treasures in Heaven”, we must eventually shift to matters of practicality. How can we change what we value? How can we alter our priorities? It must begin in the mind…
