Start Here | First Steps With Jesus

Written with the single purpose of displaying the supremacy and sufficiency of Jesus, the book of Colossians answers the two questions every person asks: Who am I? Why am I here? Louie Giglio takes us through the book of Colossians to find the answers to these questions, answers that will determine the direction and quality of all of our lives.

The Supremacy and Sufficiency of Christ

Most of us aren’t familiar with the role of high priest, so Jesus being described that way in scripture seems rather unremarkable – just another of His many titles. But Godfrey Mmagawo has experienced otherwise. In this four-day plan, he shares how an easily overlooked piece of ancient Jewish culture has major implications for how we engage with culture today.

Jesus, Our Great High Priest

We are living in uncertain, loud, and shifting times. Opinions change daily. Fear spreads quickly. Identity is constantly challenged. This 5-day plan invites you to slow down, go deeper, and become rooted in God’s Word and in Christ. When you are rooted, you don’t lose yourself in the storm—you stand firm, remember who you are, and live from truth instead of fear.

Rooted: Anchored in Truth

As followers of Christ, we are being transformed into the likeness of Christ. This 10-day reading plan looks at the life and character of Jesus, and explores how we can follow His example and make daily decisions to become more like Him.

Becoming Like Jesus

What am I here for? What is my purpose?

Every person has wrestled with these questions because it’s a part of being human. We all want to discover and live out our purpose. But how do we find this life? 

In this 7-day Bible Plan studying the book of Colossians, you’ll discover how you can live the life God has created you to live!

Life on Purpose

What does it really mean to be alive in Christ? In Colossians 2:13–15, Paul shows that salvation is entirely God’s work. Once spiritually dead and burdened by guilt, believers are made alive through the cross and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Guilt is canceled, and every opposing power is defeated. This 4-day plan walks through the passage step by step, highlighting our condition, God’s initiative, the cross, and Christ’s victory—inviting readers to rest in Christ’s finished work and live in true gospel freedom.

Alive in Christ

Jesus Christ is the major character in the Bible, and for good reason! In his letter to the Colossians, the apostle Paul explains how majestic and awesome Jesus is. This 9-day reading plan studies Paul’s words so you can discover for yourself why Jesus Christ should have the most important place in your life as well.

Jesus: Higher Than All
