Hello Friends,
I Am: In Christ
Greetings in the Lord Jesus!
If you “attended” our online Connect worship last Sunday, you know that we have begun a new sermon series on “How You Identify”, and we learned that our real identity as human beings is not so much in “who YOU think you are” as it is in “Who GOD says you are.” He declares in the Book of Genesis a profound truth, that ALL human beings are made in the “image and likeness” of God, that in fact part of our reason in being created was to MIRROR the attributes of God in this world! Wow, what an amazing calling that is for every human being in the world! And it is that TRUTH that brings critical importance and value into the life of every human being.
In the Book of Ephesians, Paul further says that as Christians, we are privileged to be what he calls “in Christ.” He uses some form of this expression some 216 times in his letters. In comparison, the term “Christian” is used a mere three times throughout the entire New Testament. So what is Paul trying to say to each of us who are, “In Christ?” To find out tune in to our YouTube channel Sunday morning at 11 AM (PST) right here: https://youtu.be/MbbaXI2YZmk. I promise you, the answer to this question will change that way you see yourself and others in a radical way!
As a reminder you can give your offerings by sending a check to the church or on our church website via PayPal here: https://mpcbc.net/english/donations/ .
Also be sure to print out your Listening Guide to take notes on. 🙂
You Pastor and Brother “In Christ,”
