We Speak Jesus

2026 THEME: Still the ONE!

SERIES THEME: There’s No Place like Home

Title: We Speak Jesus

Scripture: Col. 1:15-22

I. JESUS IS PREEMINENT

What does Col. 1:15-17 say about Jesus?

1. He was the (exact image of God). (v.15)
2. He is (supreme over creation). (v.16)
3. He is (before all things). (v.17a)
4. He holds (all things together). (v.17b)

II. JESUS IS THE HEAD

Paul describes the church as a kingdom, a vineyard, a family, a flock, and a bride. But the most
profound is as a (body). See I Cor. 12:12-27

See also Eph. 4:15-16 and Col. 1:18- No (man) is the (head of the church).

III. JESUS IS THE SAVIOR

How does Paul describe us in Col. 1:18-22?

1. We were his (enemies).
2. We were also (reconciled) to Him.
3. We are (holy and blameless).

Conclude with two thoughts:

1. Make Christ (first in everything). Mt. 6:33; Col. 3:17
2. Refocus our (attention on Christ).
