Colossians: Christ Over Everything In the Book of Colossians, the apostle Paul proclaims a simple but radical truth: Jesus Christ is supreme and sufficient over all things. Written to a church tempted to add to Christ—through rules, rituals, and hollow spirituality—Colossians calls believers back to the fullness found in Him alone. This expository sermon series walks verse by verse through Colossians, exploring the supremacy of Christ, the sufficiency of the gospel, and how union with Christ shapes everyday life—our faith, holiness, relationships, work, and witness. We’ll confront legalism, self-made religion, and spiritual substitutes, while rediscovering what it means to live fully in Christ. If Christ is truly over everything, then nothing in our lives remains untouched by His lordship.
