Jesus Preeminent in Everything

Pastor Don Burnett returns to Colossians 1:13-20 for a second week, asking what it takes for Jesus to be preeminent in our lives, not just prominent. Prominence is the enemy of preeminence: it is possible to keep Jesus known and visible without letting him be supreme. Don points to three ways to receive the fullness of God that dwells in Christ (Colossians 1:19; 2:9-10): being washed and fed in God's Word, being part of a local church family, and learning to walk with the Holy Spirit, who is sensitive like a dove and can be grieved, quenched and outraged. He closes with two lessons on being led by the Spirit: the Spirit will never lead against Scripture, and he often uses our humbling to open the door to share Jesus.
