Christ Above All: Neither Left
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Christ Is All. But if Christ is all, he must be above all. The Hebrews had a phrase for this: "walking straight, turning neither to the left nor the right." But what does that mean? Join us as we consider ways West Side must avoid the ditches and keep it "between the hedges."
The sermon today is titled "Christ Above All (Part 1): Neither Left." This sermon is the first installment in our series "Christ Above All." The Scripture reading is from Colossians 3:11 and 1 Timothy 4:1-2 (ESV). Originally preached at the West Side Church of Christ (Searcy, AR) on August 2, 2026. All lessons fit under 6 broad categories: Begin, Instill, Discover, Grow, Learn, and Serve. This sermon is filed under GROW: Relinquishing Our idols.
