SECOND TO NONE | Walking Worthy of Jesus
If Jesus really is who He claims to be, if He actually does what He promises to do, if He truly loves us the way the Bible describes, how should I respond? How should we all act in light of these truths? Too often, it seems, we attempt to “fit Jesus in” where we've got extra space. We seem to make margin for all the other important (and even not-so-important) things in our lives before considering where we might have room for Him.
But what if we reversed this? What if we prioritized Jesus in all His preeminence above and before everything else? What if we were so devoted to the One who so devoted Himself to us that all other priorities and decisions were positioned to honor Him as supreme? And all this done not to somehow earn His favor but rather done out of complete gratitude for His love towards us and in recognition of His divine Kingship? If we were to treat Jesus like King He is, what kind of lives would we live?

Message Series Description:
What do we do with the reality of Jesus - His life, His teaching, His example, His resurrection, all of it? In the Bible, the book of Colossians is the Apostle Paul's impassioned plea to a fledgling church in the ancient world, calling on these relatively new believers in Colossae to understand who Jesus really is - not just a great teacher or a good man, but the actual divine Son of God who created the entire universe! His big idea is that Jesus is supreme over everything, so we shouldn't get distracted by human traditions and rules when you've got the real truth right in front of you. If we want to grow spiritually, the Apostle claims, we've got to stay rooted in Christ and let Him transform our lives from the inside out - instead of just trying to follow a bunch of dos and don'ts. At the end of the day, living for Christ means putting on qualities like compassion, kindness, and forgiveness - that is, we've got to become more like Jesus each day of our lives.
