DISCUSS/CONSIDER

  1. Read and consider the impact of Colossians 1:15-1 In Christ all things exist, from the galaxies right down to the sub-atomic particles. The power of Christ is guiding, controlling, and upholding the universe. Think about this! Shouldn’t it have a profound effect on how you view the Lord Jesus Christ? How do you give expression to what Christ as Creator and Sustainer means to you?

See Hebrews 10:11-1 How should this affect your life everyday?
