The supremacy of Christ's Authority

Thinking about communion and the supremacy of Christ to know how He is far above all things. How nothing in all of creation compares to Him.

Colossians 1:15-20

In this short passage there is so much truth. Christ is the visible image of God. All God’s fullness lives in Him. He existed before creation. Through Him all things were created. He holds all things together. He is the head of the church. So, Christ is the supreme authority of all things.

Not only is He supreme authority, but He is the one who purchased our salvation. Verse 20 says, “and through Him God reconciled everything to Himself. He made peace with everything in heaven and on earth by means of Christ’s blood on the cross.”

Jesus took all our sin and all of our wrongdoing, on Himself when He hung on that cross. He paid the price and He said it is finished.

So, as we stop and remember Jesus today. Let us remember that He is supreme over all creation, He is the head of the church, He holds all things together and He purchased our salvation

The Voice of Experience

Bible readings from Sunday 16th January Message: Acts 17:26-27 Galations 6:7 Genesis Chapter 1:1 Eccelesiates Chapter 3 Romans 2:14-15 Ecclesiates 2:18 1 Corinthians chapter 13 Matthew 5:1-12 10 Commandments - Exodus chapter 20:1-17 We want the world to be fair, but it isn't. Our view of what is fair may be different from another's view of what is fair. People deny the existence of God, but that does not mean God does not exist. Walk through Israel and surrounding areas to see historical evidence. Look at creation. Genesis chapter one verse 1 says "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." We don't know from one day to the next what will happen but God is our constant. We are not here to build "castles" but to proclaim the Message and when we're done we take the Father's hand and go home. The following story shows us the voice of experience - we can learn a lot from a child's perspective... Sandcastles by
