None Like Him (2025-07-27, David Camera, Colossians 1:15-20)

Sermon on the "Christ-poem" in Col 1:15-20 by Pastor David Camera

Application questions:

• Finish this sentence: “The purpose of life is...” Or try this one, “The most important things in life are...” 
• Why did you answer the way you did? How do others you know answer these questions? 
• So, here is the point, do your priorities in life reflect the answers you gave above? Why or why not? 
• How does Colossian 1:15-20 answer these questions? 
  • Who is supreme in Creation and in the new creation? 
  • Who created all things, including people? 
  • Why do all things exist? 
  • What qualifies Jesus to hold the place of highest importance in everything? 
  • Who is he and what has he accomplished? 
• Considering all that we see here, what would be the most rational and fulfilling way to live? 
• How can we align our answers and our priorities with Paul’s teaching here in Colossians? 
• What are the dangers we face in life if we think we are the most important character and the plot revolves around us? 
  • Are there areas of your life where Christ is not preeminent? 
  • Are you satisfied with those areas of your life? 
  • What is keeping you from placing them under the Lordship of Jesus? 
  • Do you struggle to believe that if you lived under the Lordship of Jesus your life would be more satisfying?
