3. Who would you consider to be the G.O.A.T. (Greatest of All Time) in various sporting events (Basketball, Football, Baseball, Etc.)? When you read Colossians 1:15-20, how do these G.O.A.T. pale in comparison to our Lord Jesus (cf. 1 Chronicles 16:25, Psalm 48:1, Psalm 145:3)?

4. Who does Paul say that Jesus is in verse 15? What does this tell us about Jesus’ deity (cf. Colossians 2:9)? Look at the following passages and reflect on what they tell us about our Lord: Hebrews 1:3-4, John 1:1-4, Philippians 2:5-8.

6. What does it mean, in verse 18, that Jesus is the “head” of the Church (cf. Ephesians 1:21-23, 4:15-16, 5:23)? Reflect on this idea. How do these Scriptures shape your thoughts about the church and who is the “Senior Pastor” and what our responsibility is?

7. What does the word “reconciliation” mean? How has Christ reconciled you? Read the following passages and reflect upon this idea: Romans 5:10-11, 2 Corinthians 5:18-19, Ephesians 2:12-16. How does the ministry of reconciliation change earthly relationships in the Christian’s life?
