CHRIST ABOVE EVERYTHING

Colossians 1:18

"...so that he himself will come to have first place in everything!

When Christ is above everything...everything else finds its proper place.

THE DEVIL DOESN'T ALWAYS ATTACK YOUR FAITH. SOMETIMES HE SIMPLY DISTRACTS YOUR FOCUS.

WHATEVER SITS ON THE THRONE OF YOUR HEART WILL EVENTUALLY STEER THE DIRECTION OF YOUR LIFE.

YOUR PRIORITIES PREACH A SERMON LONG BEFORE YOUR MOUTH EVER DOES.

SOMETIMES THE GREATEST SERMONS ARE WRITTEN IN SEASONS WE NEVER WOULD'VE CHOSEN.

YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES MAY LIMIT YOU, BUT THEY CAN NEVER LIMIT THE PURPOSES OF GOD.

Colossians 1:1-2

COLOSSIANS 1:1

IDENTITY ALWAYS COMES BEFORE INSTRUCTION.

GRACE DOESN'T JUST FORGIVE YOUR PAST. IT GIVES YOU A FUTURE YOU NEVER COULD HAVE WRITTEN FOR YOURSELF.

WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE IN CHRIST...YOU'LL SPEND YOUR LIFE TRYING TO EARN WHAT HE'S ALREADY GIVEN.

CALLING WILL KEEP YOU STEADY WHEN APPLAUSE DISAPPEARS.

THE LOUDEST VOICE IN YOUR LIFE SHOULD ALWAYS BE THE VOICE OF THE ONE WHO CREATED YOU.

HEAVEN NOTICES FAITHFULNESS THE WORLD NEVER APPLAUDS.

COLOSSIANS 1:2

Our culture celebrates platforms.

God celebrates perseverance.

GOD HAS NEVER ASKED YOU TO BE IMPRESSIVE...HE'S ASKED YOU TO BE FAITHFUL

YOU CANNOT EXPERIENCE THE PEACE OF GOD...UNTIL YOU'VE RECEIVED THE GRACE OF GOD.

APPLICATION GROWS BEST FROM IDENTITY.
