Yes. Paul wrote to the Colossian church to refute false teaching. In the first chapter Paul emphasizes the supremacy of Christ.

- the first born of every creature
- the head of the body
- the beginning
- the first born from the dead
Yes. "For by Him all things were created; things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. And He is the head of the body, the church; He is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything He might have the supremacy"Â (Colossians 1:16-18).
The theme of the book of Colossians is the supremacy of Christ. The letter emphasizes Christ's preeminence in all things, including creation, salvation, and the church. It encourages believers to live in light of this truth by focusing on Christ and his teachings.
Because of the Holy Ghost - Christ in you, (Colossians 1.27)
Paul did not start the church in Colossae. According to his epistle to the Colossians (chapter 1, verse 7) Paul states that the Colossians learned about Christ through Epaphras, "fellow slave" of Christ.
Christ is the leader of true Christianity. He is the head of the body, which is the Church (Colossians 1:18).
