Priority #2: Making Jesus Christ Preeminent in Everything

“And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent” (Col. 1:18).

By raising Jesus Christ from the dead God has made him preeminent in everything. The church exists, then, to make Christ’s preeminence known in the world, whether in preaching or politics, science or sexuality, commerce or conflict – all the more in light of the Western world’s increasing religious diversity, pluralism and relativism.
