Skill – hear one side of conversation and get other...
Bible interpretation – hear Paul’s side and get ‘Colossian Heresy.’ CH
‘CH’ false view of Christ, mixed with angel worship.

Paul seems hardly able to contain himself describing God’s greatness!
It’s More, Bigger, Greater!
We ‘were separated… now in Christ you’ve been brought near.’ Eph 2:12
We’re saved to serve, worship, praise, be in his Kingdom - more!
Jesus is more than all we ask or imagine. Glory more than manger…
Jesus is our God, our everything!
