Christology: The Pre-Incarnate Christ

May 17, 2021
For The King
For The KingFTK

Christology is defined as the "the branch of Christian theology relating to the person, nature, and role of Christ." In this new edition of the Sunday Series, Bryce and I dive deep into what God's word can tell us about the person of Christ. He did come as a man and his work and ministry as a man is a central focus in Christian Theology, but we must remember Jesus' own claims about his divinity and equality with God as the second person in the trinity. We will dive this episode into the pre-incarnate Christ. He fully existed well before he was a man.

Key Texts: John 1:1-5, Colossians 1:15-20, Hebrews 1:1-3, Jude 1:5, John 8:48-59, Matthew 22:44, Revelation 1:8, Genesis 18, Daniel 10, Zechariah 3
