Sermon Title options: How to Get Life All Together How to Keep Life From Falling Apart Renewing the Center of Life

Center of Life MUST BE JESUS NOTHING ELSE

In Colossians 1:15-20, Paul describes 4 facets of Jesus that will keep us properly centered.

I. Jesus is the CREATOR, --Center your life on the ONE who made it all—1:15-16 APPLICATION:  We were created for him —Live to his glory  He has the right to be the center  We get in trouble when we live like we are the greatest

II. Jesus is the SUSTAINER— Center your life on the one who holds your life together—1:17 Application:  When we move away from him, it is hard to see how things are held together  Remember Rom. 8:28—HE works all things together

III. Jesus is the one who is FIRST PLACE in the world—center your life on the only true center—1:18 APPLICATION:  Jesus must be preeminent—Seen in Lord’s Table  The church is the place where Christ is preeminent—among his people  Is he preeminent in your life?? Family, job, marriage, recreation, worship, etc

IV. Jesus is the RECONCILER— Center your life on the one who pulls it back together—1:19-20 The ultimate victory in the world is in the cross and resurrection Are you a believer? Do you believe in the reconciling power of Christ for your relationships in life—he forgives—do you?

Conclusion “The key to resolving the disharmony of nature and the inhumanity of mankind is in JESUS—in his cross and resurrection” The church is the arena where God brings reconciliation

Confess your sin of self exaltation Make Jesus preeminent in all of life CREATOR  SUSTAINER JESUS PREEMINENT  RECONCILER
