The Book of Colossians 1:13-19 - Week 2 | Ryan Kibbe, Aaron Peterson & Dennis Nonnenmacher

The Book of Colossians is one of THE most definitive books on the humanity, deity, and supremacy of Jesus Christ. It’s author, the apostle Paul, spends a great deal of his letter to the church at Colossae challenging heresy and legalism that diminished the work of His real grace. Paul keeps it real and simple: Christ in YOU - the hope of glory! And that letter and theme has just as much relevance for us, today! Each week, we will delve into a verse-by-verse online bible study of Colossians, showing you the historical context of this letter, the hidden gems Paul unveils, the truth held in tension, along with Biblical and modern examples for you to engage the text, and action steps for you to grow in God!

The first session starts January 16th, 2024, online at 6:30pm and will be released each Tuesday night in 2024 until the completion of our study. We hope you join us online and start your week in the word of God with us!

Colossians 1:13-19 NASB

The Incomparable Christ

13 For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. 15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation: 16 for by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones, or dominions, or rulers, or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him. 17 He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. 18 He is also the head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything. 19 For it was the Father’s good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him,
