Christian Character - Week 2

ACKNOWLEDGING JESUS AS LORD

Preview Question: How did you view Jesus before you became a Christian?

Scripture Reading: Colossians 1:15-23

Discussion Questions:
  1. What characteristics of Jesus mentioned in this passage are most impressive to you? How does this portrait of Jesus enlarge your view of him?
  2. What does it mean that all things were created by Him and for Him? How should this affect our attitudes toward life including our possessions, relationships and goals?
  3. Verse 18 sums up the passage - "So that in everything he might have the supremacy" - with this in mind, what does it really mean to submit to him as Lord? In what areas does Jesus not yet have first place in your life?
  4. How can a proper understanding of this passage help us to "continue in our faith, established and firm, not moved from the hope held out in the gospel?"
