What role does baptism play in the life of a new believer and what does it signify? How many times does someone have to be baptized? Are we required to be baptized before we can partake in the Lord's Supper? In his sermon, “United In Death, United In Life: Baptism As the Sign of Union With Christ” centered on Romans 6:1-5, Pastor Alex Trotter answers these questions and more as he shows how baptism is one of the two ordinances of the church, and he explains how believer's baptism is one of the first commandments required of every new follower of Christ.
Eat My Flesh, Drink My Blood What if Jesus wants more than your belief? What if He wants your complete union with Him? In Episode 165 of 2 Minute Disciple, we meditate on John 6:52–59, one of the most challenging and misunderstood passages in all of Scripture. As the crowd struggles to understand Jesus' teaching, He does something surprising. He doesn't soften His words. He doesn't explain them away. Instead, He presses deeper. “Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you cannot have eternal life within you.” These words shocked His listeners, and they continue to challenge readers today. Jesus is not describing a distant relationship built on admiration, agreement, or occasional spiritual activity. He is describing a relationship as intimate and essential as food itself. Food becomes part of us. It nourishes us from within. It sustains our lives. In the same way, Jesus invites us to receive His life so deeply that His presence becomes the source of our strength, wisdom, peace, and identity. This is the language of abiding. “Anyone who eats My flesh and drinks My blood remains in Me, and I in him.” The Christian life is not merely following Jesus from a distance. It is living in continual communion with Him. His life becomes our life. His strength becomes our strength. His presence becomes the atmosphere in which we live and move. This passage reminds us that Christianity is not simply about believing truths about Jesus. It is about participating in His life. In this episode, you'll discover: • Why Jesus intensified His teaching when the crowd objected • What it means to “feed” on Christ spiritually • The biblical meaning of abiding in Jesus • How union with Christ transforms everyday life • A practical habit for practicing the presence of God Scripture John 6:52–59 (NLT)

Romans 6:1-14 | Andy Sabaka
No Christian enjoys suffering — and the Apostle Paul knew that better than most. Called by God from the start of his ministry to endure affliction for the name of Christ, Paul wrote 2 Corinthians as a deeply pastoral letter to a church that had caused him tremendous pain. Yet rather than retreat from suffering, Paul broke into praise.In this sermon from 2 Corinthians 1:3–7, Simon Pranaitis shows how Paul's doxology reveals three God-given relationships that transform even the worst suffering into joyful hope. First, through God the Father — the Father of mercies and God of all comfort — believers receive real, active comfort in every affliction. Biblical comfort is not a weak shoulder-pat; it is God's strong encouragement, consolation, and intervention on behalf of his people. Second, through Christ, suffering and comfort both come in abundance. Union with Christ joins believers to his sufferings, but the comfort that follows is not merely equal — it overflows in proportion to the suffering endured. Third, through the church body, believers share in mutual endurance and a hope firmly grounded in Christ's death, resurrection, and return.Suffering is not an individual endurance test. It is a corporate responsibility. The saints at KCC are called to stop hiding their pain, stop avoiding others in theirs, and actively participate together — finding comfort in God, giving it to others, and embracing affliction as evidence of belonging to Christ. ★ Support this podcast ★
April 12, 2026 • Union with Christ - Session 7 (Laura Howard) by All Souls Anglican Church
04/09/2026 – Brad Wetherell –on our transformative union with Christ
In this Easter message from Philippians 2:6–11, Pastor Jim explores Jesus' journey from humility and death to resurrection and exaltation. Using the image of a race already won, he shows that Jesus has secured victory over sin and death, and that victory is now given to those who are in Him, changing how we live each day.The message follows three movements: the road Jesus took, our union with Him, and new creation living. Jesus chose the path of a servant, humbling Himself to the cross before being raised in glory. This same pattern, descent before ascent, is the path believers are invited into, dying to self to find true life in Christ.Pastor Jim closes by emphasizing that the resurrection is not just future hope but present reality. In Jesus, new creation has already begun, giving believers a new identity and a transformed way of living that reflects His victory.
"Union With Christ"Practices of Presence Part 1John 15:1-11March 29, 2026Will Washington
In Galatians 2:11–21, Paul confronts Peter over a moment of hypocrisy that threatened the truth of the gospel. As pressure from others led Peter to pull away from Gentile believers, Paul boldly stepped in to defend the reality that justification comes through faith in Christ alone—not by works of the law.This passage centers on one of the most powerful truths in all of Scripture: union with Christ. Through Jesus, believers are not only forgiven—they are made new. Having been crucified with Christ, we now live by faith in Him, freed from the burden of trying to earn righteousness and empowered to walk in new life.

What happens when the gospel truly takes hold of a person's life? In 2 Corinthians 5:11–21, the apostle Paul shows us that the gospel doesn't simply improve us—it makes us new.Because of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, our deepest motivations are transformed, our identity is completely renewed, and our purpose in the world is redefined. The love of Christ begins to control our lives, freeing us from living for ourselves and calling us to live for the One who died and was raised for us.Through Christ, we are made into a new creation. The old has passed away, and the new has come. As people who have been reconciled to God, we are now entrusted with the message of reconciliation and sent into the world as ambassadors for Christ.This message explores how the gospel reshapes our motivations, gives us a new identity in Christ, and calls us into a mission to proclaim God's reconciling grace to the world.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

Brian From talks with Orchard Church pastor Brad Wetherell about his new book Saved to Sin No More and the powerful biblical doctrine of union with Christ. Wetherell explains how this often-overlooked truth shapes a Christian’s identity, empowers the fight against sin, and reframes the believer’s relationship with holiness. The conversation also explores why community, church life, and a renewed understanding of grace are essential in the ongoing struggle to grow in Christ.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
