Pastor Jim is preaching a three part series on a look at our Lord and Savior- Jesus the Christ.\u00a0 He is above all others, all other things, and He’s all we need.\u00a0 In this morning’s sermon, we continued our look at Colossians chapter 1 and considered that Jesus is the Word that created the world.\u00a0 And not only that, He is actively involved in the details of our lives and He continues to sustain all of creation.

COLOSSIANS 1<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.<\/p>\n

16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.<\/p>\n

17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.<\/p>\n

18 And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.<\/p>\n

19 For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell,<\/p>\n

20 and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n

Today is world Wide communion Sunday, and after the sermon we celebrated the Lord’s Supper.\u00a0 But before the sermon, Pastor Jim led us down a less serious (albeit not more humorous) path.\u00a0 Pick which story (or stories- if you’re daring) that you want to hear…<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t
