WHY "IN ALL THINGS?"
_______________________
The Theme, “IN ALL THINGS”, is a reminder that the Christian story encompasses all things. Nothing, and no one, is left out.
Christ is all things to the apostle Paul and in his inspired writing to the church at Colossae. In four relatively short chapters, Paul uses the Greek word for ‘all’ 39 times. Christ is the source of all life and the goal of all creation.
He is the Creator, the Redeemer, and the Sustainer of all things. He is the goal of all life and of all creation.
In the six verses of the theme text, Paul refers to Christ (He/Him) 13 times. The “all” of Christ and His work is mentioned seven times. Christ is ALL things!
“In All Things” is a relevant theme for Christian Life Center. Whatever the setting or activity, CHRIST IS IN ALL THINGS.
The theme takes the message of Colossians 1:15–20 beyond the Sunday worship to every aspect of CLC ministry and activity.
VISION VERSE
_______________________
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence. For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, 20 and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.
Colossians 1:15-20
