Five Flags Over Colossae

Apr 12, 2026    Jim Welch

We live in a world that constantly pulls our attention in a thousand different directions – voices telling us who we are, what we need, and where to find meaning. Some of those voices sound spiritual. Some sound convincing. But many quietly shift our focus away from what matters most. Over time, it’s easy for faith to become crowded – Jesus plus success, Jesus plus comfort, Jesus plus self-improvement. And without even realizing it, the center begins to drift. That’s why we need the book of Colossians. Verse by verse by verse. It calls us back – not to something new, but to what is ultimate. It reminds us that Jesus is not one part of our lives – He is the center of it all. And if we are going to build a life that actually holds together, we have to come back to this simple, defining truth: Always. Only. Jesus.
