The sermon by Pastor Kevin Wallace at Redemption to the Nations Church focuses on understanding our identity in Christ and explores the themes of peace, predestination, acceptance, and being sealed by the Holy Spirit. Here are the key takeaways:
Peace in Troubled Times: Pastor Wallace opens with an encouragement to find peace in the Word of God, especially in these troubled times.
Identity in Christ: A significant portion of the sermon is dedicated to understanding our identity in Christ. Ephesians 1 serves as the foundation for this message, emphasizing the spiritual wealth and inheritance believers have in Jesus.
Predestination: The concept of predestination is explained not as a divisive theological debate but as a comforting truth that God has a plan for those who are in Christ. It's clarified that predestination refers to being part of a group with a predetermined destiny in Christ, not an individual pre-selection for salvation or damnation.
Accepted in the Beloved: Pastor Wallace stresses that acceptance by God is found in our identity with Christ, the Beloved. This acceptance is not based on our actions or membership in a particular church but solely on our faith in Jesus and being in Him.
Sealed by the Holy Spirit: Believers are sealed with the Holy Spirit of Promise, which is a guarantee of our inheritance and identity in God. This sealing is a mark of God’s ownership and protection over us.
Response to Sin and Failure: A substantial part of the sermon addresses how believers should respond to sin and failure. Pastor Wallace encourages believers to rely on grace for restoration and not to allow sin to define their identity. He emphasizes the importance of remaining in Christ and the transforming power of being accepted in the Beloved.
Invitation to Salvation: The sermon concludes with an invitation for listeners to step into Christ, emphasizing that salvation and a new identity in God are available to everyone who believes.
Throughout the sermon, Pastor Wallace uses a combination of theological insights, practical advice, and personal anecdotes to convey a message of hope and identity in Christ. He encourages believers to understand and embrace their predetermined destiny, acceptance, and sealing in Jesus, which provides a foundation for overcoming sin, experiencing peace, and living out their God-given identity.
