Sermon Resources
Colossians 1:15-20
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation, for in him all things in heaven and on earth were created, things visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or powers—all things have been created through him and for him. He himself is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
He is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that he might come to have first place in everything.
For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell,
and through him God was pleased to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, by making peace through the blood of his cross.

Queries
-
When you consider Christ as the image of the invisible God, what have you come to see about God that you might otherwise have struggled to imagine?
-
What changes when you begin to see Christ as the one in whom all creation finds its beginning, its coherence, and its purpose?
-
The hymn moves from the creation of all things to the reconciliation of all things. What does that movement awaken in you—hope, resistance, longing, uncertainty, or something else?
