Synopsis

This message explores the subject of the ‘Son’—the person of Jesus Christ. A Scriptural and doctrinal understanding of who Jesus is, is crucial for anchoring our theme. We will examine Col 1:9 to 23, complemented by select references from Hebrews. We will also explore the Apostles’ and Nicene Creeds. A right understanding of who the Son of God is, as revealed by Scripture and attested to in the Creeds, serves as the non-negotiable foundation for an understanding of spiritual growth in the Son of God.
