Jesus Christ

A Sermon on Colossians 1:15-20 by Pastor Allan Santos

Watch the sermon here.

Introduction

Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life and no one comes to God the Father except through Him (John 14:6). I firmly believe that Jesus is the perfect model for our life and ministry. He lived and walked here on earth as a simple man even though He’s fully God. He studied the Scriptures and obeyed the will of God the Father in complete submission. 

Colossians 1:15-20 speaks about how the Apostle Paul proclaimed Jesus Christ as the Sovereign and Supreme God who was present in the creation of the world and who is the One who sustains it. Jesus is our Lord and Savior who gave His life so that all who will believe in Him will be saved and have eternal life (John 10:10).
