Many people want to be praised and recognized, but few imagine that the route to greatness lies in service. As readers acquaint themselves with the life of Jesus Christ as reported by Mark, their perspective will be radically and refreshingly altered. Jesus, the greatest, became the least, serving every man and woman so He could bring them back to God.

This study guides readers through selected Bible passages, presents straightforward explanations and applications, and provides open-ended discussion questions. Participants will find themselves changed as they see how the greatest Servant now lives His life in us and through us.

Our culture today offers many apparently helpful spiritual ideas and religious philosophies. Can you accept them? Can you enhance your faith by adding them to your Christian beliefs and practice? This study takes you to the apostle Paul's letter to the Colossians to find answers.

Paul's words to the Colossians remain up to the minute today. Whatever human inventions might be added to Jesus and His gospel--pursuing sensual pleasures, keeping rules, focusing on angels and other spirits, maximizing our natural potential--nothing matches up to Christ. Human ideas and effort can only detract, because God the Father has made you complete in His Son.

Open-ended discussion questions, Bible passages, and easy-to-understand explanations and applications help you, or you and your group, explore how Jesus Christ is supreme and every believer is complete in Him.

This easy-to-use study for small groups and individuals will reveal the Christ--God's Chosen One--in the book of Psalms, showing Him as Creator, King of kings, the Crucified and Risen One, Shepherd, eternal High Priest, and more. Discussion questions, Bible passages, and helpful explanations and applications will give readers confidence that Jesus, their Savior, is the Christ, and that the all-powerful, sovereign God will bring all His plans to completion.
