We Are | Heirs in Christ | My Identity is important

We begin a new sermon series called We Are, where we are going to look at our personal and corporate role as the church. We begin by looking at what our identity is, and why it’s a constant fight happening for it. To have a proper view, we must define our identity based on How Christ sees us. We are fully accepted, eternally valuable, totally forgiven, and fully capable. As the church, people should see us as distinct because we are the royal priesthood, set apart, and we are God’s special possession. Christ gave His life as a ransom to save us from the justice due us because of sin, and He is much better that we deserve because He made us acceptable to God. Our life and identity should reflect Him and since we are His chosen people, we are to live for Him. Being a Christian should be an action, not a description of how we live. You might ask, why do people go to church, and we would answer that it is our purpose in life. Its who we are, our identity, not a building. As we study the bible in this series, we are going to define our identity, explain how to live for Jesus, and what our mission to reach the lost is. Stay tuned for next week when we’ll dive deeper into our role as the church. If you want to take the next step and become a part of the church officially, we would love to talk to you about what membership looks like and how to make a commitment. BurntHickory.com/next

Ephesians 5:21-24 Christians Submitting “as Christ!”

The New Verb in verse 22. The action and the people involved in the incomplete sentence of verse 22 – “wives … to your husbands” must be filled in with the paired actions of the Spirit-filled believers in Ephesians 5:19a and 21. Thus Paul’s meaning in verse 22 is

Wives and husbands be submitting to the teaching and correction you are receiving from one another in Christ

-ing verbs can be read as having an exclamation point after each of them so I can read verse 22 this way too: “Wives and husbands submit to the teaching and correction you are giving to one another in Christ.”

Verses 22 to 24 are formed by Paul not in a 1, 2, 3 linear pattern of ideas but as a mirror parallel or chiastic pattern. It follows an A B B' A' pattern. That means that the two parts in the middle in verse 23 are linked together, and that verses 22 and 24 are linked and mirror one another. Since verse 24 is a mirror of verse 22 we can look at it to find out about the last couple of words in verse 22. “to the Lord.” Why does Paul add these words?

In verse 24 Paul writes in Greek “as the church submits to Christ even so wives to their husbands in everything.” Because we know what it means for Christians to submit to Christ in everything we know the limits and the extent of what it means for Christian wives to be mutually submitting themselves to their husbands as they and their husbands are teaching and correcting one another in their Christian walk.

These verses are not about how a household is to be organized, hierarchically or not. This is how two believers who are joined together in marriage are the ultimate example of how Christians can be mutually building up one another in their Christian walk.

So verse 22 means: Christian couples be submitting yourselves to the speaking, the teaching and correction, you are getting from one another as to your life in Christ.

Book of Acts: Part 3 - Out From Under the Arbor // Pastor Christian Bonham

History and traditions are important in our story as they always remind us who we are, Whose we are, and where we come from. But if our story doesn't also look forward we can die in the traditions we seek to honor. Today our church celebrates 122 years as a church body and we look at Acts 2 which helps us remember our own history, but also dream forward because Real Belief Inspires Movement!

Text: Acts 2:36-47

Book of Acts: Part 2 - The Holy Spirit, the Church and You // Pastor Christian Bonham

Who exactly is the Holy Spirit and what role does He play in the life of the church and the life of a believer? Is the Spirit a personal being or merely a spiritual device? Is the Spirit our conscience? Our emotional center? What does it mean to be "Baptized in the Spirit"? Today we take a look at the Holy Spirit's unique role in our lives of faith and the history of Jesus's Church.

Book of Acts: Part 1 - Finding Purpose // Pastor Christian Bonham

Pastor Francis Chan once said, "Our greatest fear should not be of failure but of succeeding at things in life that don't really matter." In the Book of Acts, we see read as person after person, in city after city rebelled against a life of just going through the motions spiritually, politically, and culturally and came alive with purpose. As we study the Book of Acts, we will see the power of individual believers come alive in the Power of the Holy Spirit as they live and work in community with other believers to advance the Good News of God’s Story.
