Exalting Christ

Aug 9, 2026    Pastor Lonnie Campbell

What does it truly mean to make Jesus Christ the Lord of every area of our lives? Drawing from the book of Colossians, we explore a question that cuts to the heart of our faith: how do we exalt Christ not just in our words, but in the way we actually live? The message anchors itself in the profound truth that Christ is fully God, the image of the invisible God, the one in whom all the fullness of deity dwells in bodily form, as Colossians 1 and 2 remind us. Because He created all things, holds all things together, and reconciled all things to God through His blood, He is worthy of a place of absolute priority in our lives. We are invited to wrestle honestly with the gap that so often exists between our claim to exalt Him and the reality of how naturally His name comes out of our mouths and shapes our daily decisions. If the God who commanded the winds and called Lazarus out of the tomb lives within us, why do we so quickly panic when life gets difficult? This is a message that challenges us to move beyond surface-level belief into a faith that genuinely reflects who Christ is.
