Colossians: A Radical Alternative - Eyes, Hearts and Minds #1

Published: Feb. 7, 2022, 7 p.m.

b'Colossians was written in the context of the growing emperor cult of the Roman Empire. This Empire was capturing not only the peoples lives but their imaginations as well. Limiting their future dreaming of an alternative reality. Although thousands of years separate us from Ancient Rome, we still know all about Empire. We struggle with global economics and corporate interests that commodify people for profit. How does Colossians help us live our faith in Jesus today? Well, it might be the best book in the Bible to subvert the empire that tries to colonize our imaginations. Jesus is THE revelation that ALLOWS US to enter and live an ALTERNATIVE REALITY to Empire - a NEW way to live.'
