In this sermon, we’re going to look at two more benefits of our new life in Christ.
When God saved you, he also adopted you into his family. You have a distinct privilege that God is not only your king, he’s also your welcoming father.
We’ll also look at the union you enjoy in Christ. You’ll learn how our union in Christ affects our past, matters in our present time right now, and it also secures your future destiny.
Watch this message as we unpack the rich theology of these benefits for followers of Jesus.

One of the major themes throughout the Bible is God’s glory. After he would meet with God, Moses’ face would literally glow. It scared people so much that he had to cover his face after being in God's presence. Jesus preached about God’s glory, and here at First B, we often say everything we do is for God’s glory. But what exactly is God’s glory? This Sunday as we continue our Foundations series, we unpacked this question and see how God’s glory gives us purpose for our lives today.

Did you know you are a holy priest in God’s kingdom? You may have never been to Bible school, and the thought of seeing a Greek verb might make you feel like an undergrad at a rocket science convention. 🚀 But if you are a Christian, God has chosen you. As a follower of Jesus, you have incredible status, perhaps even more than you know! In this sermon, we’re going to explore how God has made you as a priest, prophet, and as royalty in his kingdom. You might be surprised at the authority we have as God’s people, and you’ll get to see how this practically affects the way we live today.
