In this message Pastor Scott teaches from Colossians 1:15-18. We learn that Jesus is not a teacher about God, He is not just the way to God, He is not even just a man who became God, Jesus Christ is and always has been 100% God! At Hope Church, We Magnify Christ Above Everything.
“… I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Matthew 16:18
WE MAGNIFY CHRIST ABOVE EVERYTHING!
COLOSSIANS 1:15-18
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent.
A ridiculously high view of God will result in ridiculously humble people.
