“Watch this introduction video on the book of Colossians, which outlines the book's main theme and how it is fulfilled in Jesus. "Jesus is not enough."

He is the center of reality, in him all things hold together, and only through him is there freedom from the powers of guilt and shame.”

Spoken Gospel - Colossians Introduction
“Colossians tells us that Jesus is the center of reality. The church at Colossae kept believing that their truest self was found in certain religious, physical, or spiritual practices. If they just fasted, if they just experienced God in a particular way, or if they celebrated a particular festival, then they would be whole. Seth and David talk about how Jesus is enough. In Christ, the fullness of God, wholeness, and spiritual lives. Whatever we want in this reality, can be found in Jesus.”
