A Glimpse into This Sunday
This is a portion of my bulletin outline for this Sunday. This passage is amazing. Jesus doesn’t just reconcile us, He totally and thoroughly reconciles us. The regular word for reconcile wasn’t good enough. It needed a bigger word. I love that. Come this Sunday to Calvary Church to hear more about it. It’s going to be deeply encouraging.

By Him, For Him, In Him
I’m preaching on one of the most incredible passages of Scripture this Sunday. Colossians 1:15-18. Essentially, it says that Jesus is in first place.
