PREEMINENT: Hope For A Confused World From Colossians

Paul's letter to the Colossians boldly declares how we should see, feel, and think about Jesus. Jesus is supreme over all! Existence itself was created by Him and for Him. Who He is and what He has done liberates us to live every day by His power and in His presence.

In this sermon from Pastor Toby Cavanaugh, director of Radiant School of Ministry, we discover that conversations with Jesus are a treasure to be sought, not an enemy to be fought.

Focus Scripture

Colossians 4:2-6 (ESV)

“2 Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving. 3 At the same time, pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to declare the mystery of Christ, on account of which I am in prison— 4 that I may make it clear, which is how I ought to speak.

5 Walk in wisdom toward outsiders, making the best use of the time. 6 Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person.”
