In Christ: What it means to belong to God, Media, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

This morning we are continuing our sermon series, “In Christ”. The primary question this series aims to answer is, “What does it actually mean to be a Christian?” Or, to put it differently, “What does it mean to belong to God?” Today, in John 17:20-26, we consider how Jesus’ people belong to God and are, therefore, considered one with him.

Disciple: Living For Jesus, Media, Sermons | by Pastor Adam Sinnett

The first sermon of the series, we begin with what it means to be “in Christ” – also known as our union with Christ. This union is the beginning, middle, and end of all our discipleship. To be in Christ is an invitation to evaluate our identity in a new way. Our identity in Christ is the heart of what it means to be Christian. In Christ we are a new creation, and experience a dynamic, relational oneness with Christ. As we focus on four different aspects of this union, we see that we are represented by Jesus, that He becomes the foundation of our life, that we are loved with the same love the Father has for the Son, and that we now live before the face of God. Our greatest treasure is being in Christ.
