The Foundations of a Christian Worldview
Colossians 1:1–8

In a world crowded with -isms, hot takes, and shifting headlines, what holds? Paul’s letter to the Colossians gives us a clear lens. In this kickoff to our Foundations series, we explore how a biblical worldview answers life’s biggest questions—and why Jesus at the center changes everything.

Big idea:
A Christian worldview is rooted in Christ’s supremacy, anchored by hope in heaven, and guided by the gospel—the word of truth.
In this message you’ll learn:
* Center: Why Jesus Christ defines reality, identity, and love (vv.1–4)
* Goal: How a living hope laid up in heaven fuels faith and love on earth (v.5)
* Guide: Why the gospel is objective truth that bears fruit and grows (vv.6–8)

Why it matters now:
From cultural confusion to personal pressures, Colossians steers us away from counterfeit answers—legalism, mysticism, empty philosophy—and back to the sufficiency of Christ.

Reflect & respond:
1. What most shapes my lens—culture’s narratives or Christ’s lordship?
2. Where is my hope aimed—earthly outcomes or heaven’s promises?
3. How is the gospel bearing visible fruit in my relationships this week?
