Christ is seated in a position far above all else. Nothing can compare with Him or His position!

In this expositional message, Nathan Johnson preaches from Ephesians 1:20-21 and discusses Jesus’ position at the right hand of the Father, far above all principality, power, might, and dominion. He also talks about why knowing Christ’s “far above position” changes our lives as we live from this incredible reality.
