October 13, 2016

The focus in chapter three shifts to revelation of our identity through understanding the purpose with which we were created, to reveal the mysteries of God. “The whole family in heaven and earth is named after Jesus Christ. Just as Adam clarified the identity of animals when he named them in the Garden of Eden. Everybody’s identity in the family of God has been clarified by God giving you a name. You have an identity in Christ.” – Pastor Joshua Cole
10-02-16 Our Identity in Christ Part 2
October 6, 2016
Pastor Joshua preaches from Ephesians 2 about our identity in Christ as being a part of a holy nation called spiritual Israel. To fully understand ones identity in Christ one must understand the collective identity of the church. “The Jews are the only type of people that had God an hope in their lives. But it doesn’t stop there. God solved our dilemma of being strangers to all the salvation that the Jews had. He sent His only Son Jesus to die for our sins. So if we as Gentiles will believe in our heart and confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord and that He was raised from the dead, then we are made on with the nation of Israel in God’s eyes.” – Pastor Joshua Cole
