What happens when Christ is no longer enough?

The Christians in Colossae faced a dangerous temptation. They believed in Jesus, yet competing philosophies, religious traditions, mystical experiences, and worldly wisdom were slowly pulling their hearts away from Him.

Two thousand years later, little has changed.

In Christ Alone! takes readers on an engaging journey through Paul's letter to the Colossians, bringing the ancient world vividly to life while uncovering timeless truths for today's believer. With historical insight, practical application, and a passionate commitment to Biblical truth, Brian Schulz demonstrates why Christ is supreme over every philosophy, every religion, every false hope, and every competing worldview.

Whether you're studying individually, leading a Bible class, or preparing sermons, you'll discover again the life-changing message that everything we need—for salvation, maturity, hope, wisdom, and victory—is found… In Christ alone!
