Sermon: The Blessing of Union with Christ, Series: The Greatest Sentence Ever Written, Rev. Matt Howell, Ephesians 1:3-14

Rory Shiner begins our mini series the Union with Christ, speaking on John 1:1-18 at Providence City on the 7th of September 2025.

Send us a textJesus Christ gave and commanded two ordinances or sacraments for his followers to observe. Both are directly connected to and embody the gospel, the wonderful news of forgiveness and new life with God as our Father through the redemptive actions of Jesus- his life, death, burial, resurrection and ascension into heaven. Through these appointed rites we participate with Christ in his work on our behalf.To counter the all to common low view of the ordinances we must embrace a robust biblical view of their connection with our salvation through union with the Lord Jesus.Bible Insights with Wayne ConradContact: 8441 Hunnicut Rd Dallas, Texas 75228email: Att.

Brad Klassen • Colossians 2:16–2:23

Romans 6:3 — In this sermon on Romans 6:3 titled “Union with Christ,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones breaks down several thoughts or viewpoints concerning baptism, including the Catholic and Protestant views. In addition, he also discusses several views within each belief. In Romans 6:3, it almost seems like Paul is stating that baptism into Christ is baptism in His death. Dr. Lloyd-Jones warns that if one is stumbling over specifics in the varying viewpoints, they could potentially miss the glories that baptism represents. The most glorious aspect of baptism is that Christians are in Christ and He is in them. The saved were once in Adam and dead because of sin, but their union with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection is shown through baptism. This means that the final salvation is guaranteed. Whatever viewpoint is held, the Christian must always acknowledge that they are literally united with Christ and baptism shows a united nature with Him.

Day 16 UNION WITH CHRIST (3:1-4) ! ! by

As Reformed Christians, salvation is at the very heart of our tradition. But how does salvation work, and how do all the concepts (e.g., election, regeneration, justification, adoption, etc.) fit together in a coherent whole? In Reformed theology, the answer has always been the framework of "union with Christ" whereby believers individually and the Church corporately are understood to be "one" with Christ. It is through this union that all that is Christ's becomes ours, and thus, how all the benefits of Christ become ours. And so in this week's episode we aim to explore this doctrine and its profound implications for the Christian life.    Visit www.almondvalley.org for information about Almond Valley Christian Reformed Church in Ripon, CA.

In this message Nigel explores the daily choice every believer faces—will we live in absolute reliance on God's Spirit, or will we take matters into our own hands? Every day, you face a choice: trust God's Spirit completely—or take control yourself. Which will you live by? The answer shapes everything

Being identified with Christ reveals the profound spiritual reality that water baptism symbolizes for believers. When Christians are identified with Christ, they participate in His death, burial, and resurrection through God's sovereign choice and the Spirit's transformative work. Those identified with Christ receive eternal blessings secured through Christ's substitutionary work on their behalf. Believers identified with Christ cannot continue living in sin because they have died to sin through their union with Christ. Being identified with Christ means God treats believers as if they personally accomplished Christ's righteous work, granting them His perfect righteousness and eternal life. ★ Support this podcast ★

Reverend Wilson Caldwell, preaching from Romans 6:1-14, Sunday morning August 3, 2025. At First Baptist Church of Suffolk, VA.

Sermon Text: Galatians 2:20 Sermon Title: "Apprehending Our Union with Christ" The theme of being "in Christ," central to Paul's epistles, describes the believer's profound union with Christ, drawing us into the intimate fellowship of the Father and Son. Through the Holy Spirit, we are united with Christ by repentance and faith, becoming justified, sanctified, and glorified in Him—spiritual realities that transform and empower our Christian lives. When Christ died, our old sinful self died with Him; when He rose, our new self in Christ rose, so that "it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me" (Galatians 2:20). Living by faith in the Son of God, who loved us and gave Himself for us, makes all things new. In today's sermon, "Apprehending Our Union with Christ," we explore this transformative union. By understanding Scripture's truth, we uncover the benefits of salvation—not just deliverance from hell but freedom from this evil age, bringing peace, joy, and harmony with God. Yet, a warning remains: we still sin, and God will judge. To resist sin and avoid the weight of judgment, we must continually study and apply Scripture, mortifying the deeds of the flesh. By apprehending our union with Christ, we live out the truth that Christ lives in us, revolutionizing our lives through the power of this divine fellowship. 00:00:13 - Introduction to Biblical Grammar 00:01:12 - Understanding Verb Tense and Audience 00:02:25 - Exploring Voice, Tense, and Mood 00:03:30 - Importance of Grammar in Scripture 00:04:05 - Introduction to Galatians 00:05:15 - Justification Through Faith in Christ 00:07:06 - Sin Beyond Actions: Thoughts and Motives 00:09:10 - The Law and Cov

In this episode, Gunner Gundersen, Darby Strickland, and Esther Liu discuss the process of progressive sanctification. They explore its meaning and implications, and how it plays out in the lives of believers. How does our union and relationship with Christ serve as the foundation for our sanctification? How does growing in our understanding of this help us become more like Jesus? While sanctification can be a messy process, there is hope and encouragement in recognizing that our growth in Christ is a journey, not a destination, and that God is committed to us throughout this process. Mentioned in this episode: Enter our giveaway for a set of notebooks, a tote bag, and a bundle of books on the topic of sanctification. Three winners will be chosen on July 25.

Join us as Pastor James Medina preaches this Lord's Day through Ephesians 1:3-14.

Priesthood is a Vocation in the Catholic Church that men are united to Christ the Head and make present his healing work through the Sacraments. Priests are connected to the people they serve and particularly connected through Christ. Listen to Fr. Frank Donio, S.A.C share more in this segment from the Son Rise Morning Show on Sacred Heart Radio, in his reflection on his Vocation story and practical advice for newly ordained priests.“Today is a day of great joy for the Church and for each of you who are being ordained as priests — together with your families, friends and companions in your years of formation. As the Rite of Ordination emphasizes in many places, the relationship between what we celebrate today and the People of God is fundamental. The depth, greatness and even duration of this divine joy that we now share are directly proportional to the bonds that exist and will deepen between you, who are being ordained, and the people from which you come, of which you remain a part and to which you are sent. I will dwell on this aspect, always keeping in mind that the identity of a priest depends on union with Christ, the Eternal High Priest.” - Pope Leo XIV, Homily for Mass of priestly ordination May 31, 2025.Notes:Jubilee ResourcesView Vocational Discernment ResourcesRead Pope Leo's Homily from Ordination MassVisit Pope Leo XIV resource pageOn Mission podcast: Holy Orders Follow us:The Catholic Apostolate CenterThe Center's podcast websiteInstagramFacebookApple PodcastsSpotify Fr.

The Believers Intimate Union with Christ

In this transformative conversation, Dr. Catherine Toon sits down with Dr. C. Baxter Kruger to revisit and reframe evangelicalism through the expansive lens of church history, the early church fathers, and the eternal love of the Trinity. Together, they lovingly challenge traditional evangelical views that prioritize sin and judgment, instead offering a broader, more relational theology rooted in union with Christ, Trinitarian personhood, and the radical love of God. Discover how our faith journey is not about striving to be accepted but awakening to the truth that we are already fully embraced, adopted, and included in the divine dance of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The dialogue also explores profound topics such as the cloud of witnesses, the early church’s vision of God, the dignity of humanity, and death as a transition rather than an end. This episode offers hope, healing, and a rediscovery of the relational Gospel—a return to the understanding that Jesus' mission was always about restoring intimacy, identity, and belovedness in a fractured world. If you've ever felt confined by narrow theology or longed to reconnect with the global shift happening in how believers understand God, this conversation is for you.
