What does it mean to test God? We know we aren't supposed to do it, but what exactly is it? How do we ever ask God for things without accidentally testing Him? This week, Pastor Taylor talks about listening to God's voice in Hebrews 3:7-11. Get Connected! https://linktr.ee/reachtulsa

Moses is one of the greatest men of faith in the Old Testament. What do we learn from Moses when we compare him to Christ?

And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; **that in all things he might have the preeminence.** (Colossians 1:18) ~~~~~~~ This service was taken on Lord's Day Afternoon in the lounge of Milward House Pilgrim Home. ~~~~~~~ **Sermon Summary:** The central message of the sermon is that Jesus Christ must have preeminence in every aspect of life and creation, as affirmed throughout Colossians 1. The passage highlights Christ's divine role as Creator, Sustainer, and Reconciler—establishing His supremacy in all things, from the foundation of the universe to the redemption of humanity. The preacher emphasizes that Christ's preeminence is rooted in His eternal existence, His redemptive work through the cross, and His ongoing spiritual sustenance of believers. Through vivid imagery—such as Christ as the head of the Church, the firstborn from the dead, and the fullness of God dwelling in Him—the sermon calls for a personal and corporate commitment to exalt Christ above all else. The tone is both reverent and pastoral, urging believers to align their lives with Christ's supremacy, recognizing that true life, hope, and identity are found only in Him.

12/14/2025 - Colossians 1:15-20 - First Things First: The Preeminence of Christ by Richard Schwartz

Winston Churchill made a statement that many might debate. Right after he was elected Prime Minister of Britain, Germany had just brought their eastern ally, France, to heel and forced the evacuation of almost their whole army from Europe. In a famous speech to the House of Commons, he basically said, If we stand against this overwhelming force and if Britain lasts for another thousand years, “this would be their finest hour.” That is their most notable hour, their supreme hour. Britain has had many great hours, many glorious achievements. Yet, he is singling out this moment as preeminent among many great moments.I say debated because preeminence means nothing exceeds or excels it. Nothing can surpass it in glory or importance. This is the time of year in a couple of weeks when people who love music, sports, memes, and whatever you're interested in will debate on the radio, on talk shows, in countdowns, what was preeminent, what was the most outstanding, the most memorable of the last year. We love to do this because what is most prominent in anything is weighty and glorious, and we all love glory.I note this because after Paul has run through the many excellencies of Christ and he is looking for a word to sum it all up, he says, “in all things he is preeminent!” This Sunday is the third week of Advent, and as we ponder the joy Jesus brings, it is mostly reserved for those who have found out that Jesus really is preeminent in their lives. Hope to see you Sunday!

The Preeminence of Christ – February 21, 2026 by Percy Harrold

How will we escape the law if we neglect God's own testimony about His Son? God has shown us the way of escape and it is through the perfect high priest, Jesus Christ. We must not harden our hearts to Him. In this episode, Pastor Taylor talks about God's own testimony in Hebrews 2:1-4.Get Connected! https://linktr.ee/reachtulsa

Jesus was not just a good person with good moral teachings. He wasn't one of many wise men that showed us how to please God and get to heaven. He was God Himself and the only one capable of taking us before God into heaven. If we do not follow this divine king, we have nothing left. In this episode, Pastor Taylor talks about the divine kingship of Christ in Hebrews 1:5-14.Get Connected! https://linktr.ee/reachtulsa

The Christian life is not a life of ease. Sometimes it's easy to wonder if it's worth all the trouble. The question is not whether or not following Jesus is worth it, but what will it cost you to not follow Him?

In this episode of Faith & Family, Steve Wood explores the profound teaching of Colossians 1:15–20, highlighting the preeminence of Christ — the only time this term appears in the New Testament. Jesus holds first place over all creation and over all aspects of redemption, leaving no room for “add-ons” or supplemental wisdom. Steve breaks down this passage into two parts: Preeminence in Creation (1:15–17) – Christ as the active Creator in whom all things were made and hold together. Preeminence in Redemption (1:18–20) – Christ as head of the Church, reconciler of all things, and the fullness of God dwelling in Him. Listeners will learn: How Paul refutes false teachers by emphasizing Christ's fullness and supremacy The connection between creation (Genesis 1:1, Hebrews 11:3, John 1:1–3, Nehemiah 9:6) and Christ's role as Redeemer Why understanding Christ's supremacy is essential for forming a strong faith and countering secular teachings like theistic evolution Practical insights for helping youth grow in faith and remain rooted in Christ This episode challenges believers to see Christ as supreme in all things, both visible and invisible, and to ground their faith in Him alone.

September 21, 2025.

In Colossians 1:15–20, Paul lifts our eyes to the wonder of who Jesus is as our Creator, Redeemer, and the One who holds all things together. All things were made by Him and for Him, and in Him all things hold together. From the firstborn over creation to the Lamb praised in Revelation, Scripture calls us to see Christ's supremacy and respond in worship with thankful hearts.
