DAY 1 – Christ Above All: Colossians Study by Pastor Dick
Welcome, friend! I’m so glad you’ve jumped in for this 31-day walk through Colossians.
Don't worry—no running required, just a little stroll each day through one of the most powerhouse letters Paul ever wrote.
If you’ve ever wondered just how big, near, and absolutely wonderful Jesus is, you’re in the right place.
Paul’s headline message? “Christ in you, the hope of glory.” Now, that’s not just something to embroider on a pillow.
It’s Christ living in ordinary folks like us—today, right now—which changes absolutely everything.
Paul also loves to remind us that Jesus is “all in all”—not just a Sunday subject, but the heartbeat of every part of life.
What Awaits You
Each day, we’ll nibble on a few verses from Colossians.
We’ll dive into what it really means for Christ to be alive and present in you—your hope, joy, and future.
We’ll discover Jesus truly is everything—He’s “all in all” and with you every single step.
We’ll pause to let this hope settle deep, giving us courage, confidence, and peace.
And we’ll pray and chat with the Lord about how this truth can show up in the nitty-gritty parts of our lives.
Why These Truths Matter
Jesus isn’t just some wise religious mascot; He’s the Creator, Redeemer, and source of true life.
The gospel says Christ lives in us—and that’s the real secret to lasting hope.
Jesus is “all in all.” He’s above every storm, every fear, every rival—yet He’s right here, living within each believer.
What He brings isn’t just improved morals, but a new heart and a new song.
We’re invited to live every day out of this reality—loving others, growing roots in faith, letting Christ keep reshaping us from the inside out.
What Makes These 31 Days So Special
Take the journey one gentle, doable step at a time—bite-sized pieces, plain language, plenty of real-life examples.
You’ll have space to breathe, respond, and apply God’s Word in practical ways each day.
There’s no gold star or spiritual Olympics—just guidance, warmth, and encouragement as the Holy Spirit leads you.
Best of all, we’ll keep circling back to the heart—the amazing hope of Christ living in us, bringing transformation day by day.
Whether Colossians is brand new or a well-worn favorite, this study is a friendly path toward deeper trust, hope, and daily experience of Christ above all—and Christ in all (including you). Let’s get started—adventure awaits!
