Christ Above Everything is a five-part series through Colossians that calls us to see Jesus clearly and put Him first in every area of life. It reveals who He is: the image of the invisible God, Creator and sustainer of all things, head of the church, and the fullness of God in bodily form. It shows what He has done: dying on the cross, rising victorious, reconciling everything to Himself, and securing our redemption and forgiveness.The series then applies this truth to how we live. It shapes our identity as chosen, holy, and loved in Christ, raised with Him. It fuels our growth by rooting us in Him, filling us with gratitude, and producing real fruit. It guides our relationships—in the church, marriages, parenting, and work—under His lordship. And it renews our daily habits: setting our minds on things above, shedding the old self, and clothing ourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, letting His peace rule our hearts.

Lots of people identify as Christians—about one-third of the world, in fact. But calling ourselves Christians and actually following Jesus can be two different things. Without even realizing it, we can slip into a faith that’s more about appearances than about a life-changing relationship with Christ. This series challenges people to confront how they may be practicing a compromised version of Christianity: one in which comfort, convenience, or cultural norms overshadow true faith, obedience, and transformation. Each week, we’ll tackle a different way this can show up in our lives and explore what it looks like to move from shallow faith to a deeper, more committed relationship with Jesus.
