Summary

Colossians 1:15-20 shows us everything that is visible and invisible was created by Jesus, through Jesus, and for Jesus, which means everything is about Jesus. He is the purpose and the point of our lives. Is Jesus the point of your life, or are you trying to find ways to “fit” Jesus into your life?

Discussing and Applying the Sermon Guide

  • In what ways are you trying to fit Jesus into your life instead of surrendering your life to Him?
  • Evaluate the season of life you are in. Are you looking at Jesus? If not, confess this to God, pray for forgiveness, and ask the Holy Spirit to show you what your next step is toward seeing Jesus more clearly.
  • Where in your life are you not experiencing peace? How can you trust Jesus in these areas?
  • Evaluate your role in the local church. Are you an active member of the church body? If not, ask God what your next step is toward making a healthy connection with your local church.
