Christ Over Everything - ColossiansSample

Theme: Encouraged and United in Christ

Paul begins Colossians 2 with a pastor’s heart—he expresses his struggle for those he hasn’t met, desiring that their hearts would be encouraged and united in love. This unity isn’t just about friendliness—it’s about being rooted together in the truth of Christ.

He also points them toward the riches of assurance that come from understanding Christ fully. In Jesus are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. Paul knows that when a church is grounded in Christ, they are protected from deception.

Even though Paul is not physically present, he rejoices in their discipline and the firmness of their faith. It’s a reminder that faith communities thrive when love and truth are held together. We need each other—and we need the truth of Christ to anchor us as one body.

Daily Application: Reach out to encourage someone in your faith community today. Send a text, pray for them, or speak life over them. Unity is built one act of love at a time.
