The document discusses Jesus as the creator and sustainer of all things, who created everything visible and invisible. It then discusses how Jesus is the head of the church and will return to bring salvation. Finally, it discusses that Jesus is preparing an eternal home for believers in heaven and will one day return to destroy the current earth and heavens and make all things new, establishing a new heaven and earth without sin or death.

1. COLOSSIANS 1:15-18

4. Colossians 1:15-18
• He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn
over all creation. For by him all things were
created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and
invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or
authorities; all things were created by him and for
him. 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 and the firstborn from
among the dead, so that in everything he might
have the supremacy.

5. No Ordinary Earth
• Jesus the Creator
– Col. 1:16 “By Him all things were created:
things in heaven and on earth, visible and
invisible,. . . all things were created by Him
and for Him.”
– Heb. 1:2 “but in these last days he has
spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed
heir of all things, and through whom he made
the universe.”

6. Glory of Creation

7. No Ordinary Church
• Romans 5:12 “Therefore, just as sin
entered the world through one man, and
death through sin, and in this way death
came to all men, because all sinned.”
• The answer to our problem was Christ
building His church.

8. • Hebrews 8:8–12 - “The time is coming, declares the Lord, when
I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the
house of Judah. 9It will not be like the covenant I made with
their forefathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out
of Egypt, because they did not remain faithful to my covenant,
and I turned away from them, declares the Lord. 10This is the
covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time,
declares the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and write
them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my
people. 11No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his
brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ because they will all know me,
from the least of them to the greatest. 12For I will forgive their
wickedness and will remember their sins no more.”

9. • Just as man is destined to die once, and
after that to face judgment, so Christ was
sacrificed once to take away the sins of
many people; and he will appear a second
time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation
to those who are waiting for him.
• Hebrews 9:27-28

10. No Ordinary Construction Site
• Jesus’ Final Creation
• “Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust
also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms
(MANSIONS); if it were not so I would have told you. I
am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go
and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take
you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You
know the way to the place where I am going.”
John 14:1–4

11. When the Construction is Finished
• There will be destruction.
• “They will say, "Where is this 'coming' he promised? Ever since our fathers
died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation." But they
deliberately forget that long ago by God's word the heavens existed and the
earth was formed out of water and by water. By these waters also the world
of that time was deluged and destroyed. By the same word the present
heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment
and destruction of ungodly men. But do not forget this one thing, dear
friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years
are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some
understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish,
but everyone to come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come like a
thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed
by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare.” 2 Peter 3:4-10

12. – There will be a GRAND OPENING!
• 2 Peter 3:13 - “But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward
to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness.”
• “Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and
the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I
saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven
from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.
And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of
God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people,
and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe
every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning
or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." He
who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!"
Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and
true.” Revelation 21:1-5
