Christ Over All

A Study on the Letter to the Colossians

Colossae was a first-century city located in the Roman province of Asia. It was a pluralistic environment of competing philosophies, religions, and ideas fighting for the hearts and minds of people. For first-century Christians, this syncretistic environment found its way into the church, and it was in this setting that Paul encouraged the Colossians to live out an entirely different reality, a reality in which Jesus—and only Jesus—had the ultimate supremacy over everything in their lives. Through Colossians, we will see how we too, are invited to place Christ above all, and over all.
