The truth of our oneness in the Lord Jesus is the key to understanding our salvation and living the Christian life with joy. We continue our sermon series titled “Our Union in Christ” by exploring the four metaphors which paint a beautiful picture of our oneness in Jesus – marriage (intimacy), the body (life), a plant (fruit), and a building (stability).
In this sermon we are looking at our commitment to ”fellowship” by defining it and identifying the components that make true Biblical fellowship. This is part of our vision for 2018 “to love one another” and we are doing so by obeying the Scripture mandate to “examine ourselves.” In this process, Acts 2:42 is our “surgeon” exposing us to what healthy churches and Christians are committed to.
This Lord’s Day evening we continue our sermon series titled “Our Union in Christ”. The truth of our oneness in the Lord Jesus is the key to understanding our salvation and the way of living out the Christian life. To those ends, we are looking at the necessity of our union in Christ as well as what this union does for us in our relationship to sin.
We continue casting of our vision for 2018 “to love one another” and we are doing so by obeying the Scripture mandate to “examine ourselves.” In this process, Acts 2:42 is our “surgeon” exposing us to what healthy churches and Christians are committed to – “And they continued steadfast in the apostles’ teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread and prayer.” This Lord’s Day, we are looking at “the apostles’ teaching” and the four ways we are devoted to it – hearing, reading, studying and obeying their teaching.
This Lord’s Day evening we will begin a sermon series titled “Our Union in Christ”. The truth of our oneness in the Lord Jesus is the key to understanding God’s purpose in our salvation as well living out the Christian life as He intends; full of joy, direction, and intimacy with Him. As we grasp our oneness in Christ so we grasp the Christian life.
