What does it actually mean to be “in Christ”?
The Apostle Paul uses that phrase over and over throughout Ephesians, but for many Christians it can still feel abstract or confusing. In this special message connected to our Ephesians series, we explore one of the biggest themes in the New Testament: union with Christ.
Because we are united to Jesus, everything we have and everything we need comes from Him. Salvation, peace, identity, purpose, grace, strength, hope, and even our future inheritance are not things we earn—they are gifts God gives through Christ.
But if that’s true… why does life still hurt? Why do Christians still struggle, suffer, battle temptation, and wrestle with pain?
This message explores how believers live in both a physical and spiritual reality at the same time, and why true peace is only found through knowing Jesus relationally—not merely knowing about Him.
The Christian life is not about striving to earn God’s favor. It is learning to live from what God has already given us in Christ.
