 Dear Church Family,

I write to you today with a heart filled with joy and a burning desire to remind our church family of the profound truth that Christ is Supreme.

In a world that constantly bombards us with distractions, ideologies, and competing voices, it is crucial that we, as believers, hold fast to the central truth of our faith: that Jesus Christ is above all and in all. He is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, the King of kings, and the Lord of lords.

In the letter to the Colossians, the Apostle Paul beautifully expresses the supremacy of Christ. In Colossians 1:15-20, Paul writes, "He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 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. For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross."

As a church, it is vital that we continually seek to exalt Christ above all else. We must make Him the center of our worship, our ministries, and our daily lives. When we gather for worship, let our focus be on exalting His name, declaring His glory, and surrendering ourselves to His lordship. Let us remember that our purpose as a church is to bring honor and glory to Christ, reflecting His love, grace, and truth to a broken and hurting world.

May the Lord continue to bless and guide our church as we strive to honor and magnify the name of Jesus Christ, the Supreme Lord.

With deep love and appreciation,

[Bill]
