Union in Christ

Do you know who God says you are in Christ—and how that changes your relationship to sin? In this sermon, Josh Strelecki, Pastor-Teacher, continues the “Union in Christ” series by examining sanctification from 1 Corinthians 6:9–11, showing that believers were once defined by unrighteousness but are now washed, sanctified, and justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of God. Sancti...

What does it mean to be truly righteous before God? Not almost righteous, not working toward righteousness, but declared righteous in a single, final, irrevocable moment? That is the stunning reality at the heart of what we explore in this message on justification in Christ. Drawing from Romans 5, 1 Corinthians 6, and Ephesians 1, we are walked through one of the most significant legal and spiritu...

How can someone be blind to God, and be certain they see just fine? In this message, Pastor Josh Strelecki concludes the three-lesson study of man's identity in Adam with alienation — the complete estrangement from God as His enemy, where a darkened understanding is defended as insight and embraced ignorance is mistaken for enlightenment. Preaching from Ephesians 4:17-19, he shows that this is not...

Flattery's Dead End

In this message, Pastor Josh Strelecki continues the Union in Christ series with a study of condemnation — the second of three features of man's identity in Adam (alongside abomination and alienation). Preaching from Romans 5:18, he shows that condemnation is not a risk hanging over an otherwise-neutral person, but a judicial verdict already rendered and already in force, inherited from Adam by bi...

What does God say about who we are apart from Christ? In this sermon from Titus 1:15–16, we begin examining our identity in Adam, starting with the sobering reality of “abomination in Adam.” Scripture’s verdict is not that mankind is merely flawed or in need of minor improvement, but that apart from Christ we are dead to God, alive to sin, and enemies of God—defiled in mind and conscience, servant...

What actually happens when this life is over? We're stepping into "Heaven: Seven Vantage Points on the Life to Come" — a look at what Scripture actually promises us, not vague hope, but a certainty already guaranteed to us right now. We'll trace the story from the assurance we carry today, through the removal of the curse, the resurrection of the body, and the renewal of all creation, all the way...

Who are you—really? Not according to your feelings, your failures, or what the culture around you offers as "identity," but according to what God says. In this opening lesson of a new 10-week series on Union in Christ, Pastor Josh Strelecki lays the foundation for one of the most vital yet neglected truths in Scripture: every person is either in Adam or in Christ. There is no spectrum, no in-betwe...

Upcoming Message: "The Word and Its Sufficiency" Pastor Joshua Strelecki | 2 Timothy 3:14–17; Psalm 119:9–11 There's never been a shortage of voices telling you the Bible isn't enough — that it needs philosophy, psychology, the latest therapy, or some new revelation added to it just to keep up. Scripture calls that out plainly, and in this session Pastor Josh takes us straight to Paul's final word...

What does it truly mean to partake of the Lord’s Table? In this sermon from 1 Corinthians 11, we examine the Lord’s Supper, Communion, and the Lord’s Table beyond mere ceremony or tradition, considering how Scripture presents these realities in connection with Christ’s broken body, shed blood, and the fellowship of His people. Rather than reducing the bread and cup to a ritual, this message emphas...

What does the Bible mean when it says there is “one baptism” in Ephesians 4:5—and is that the same thing as water baptism practiced in most churches today? In this sermon, Pastor Josh walks through Scripture to define what baptism actually is, showing that the Bible speaks of multiple baptisms (diverse washings under the Law, John’s baptism with water, baptism with the Holy Spirit, baptism with fi...

What does it mean that God has “now made manifest” truths He kept hidden for ages—and why does that matter for how you live today? In this concluding message of the series “That Which May Be Known,” Pastor traces God’s progressive revelation from before the foundation of the world to the present dispensation of grace, focusing on Paul’s teaching in Ephesians 3. He explains how God’s eternal counse...

Are the “ordinary” commands of Scripture shaping the daily life of your church and your walk with Christ? In this closing message from 1 Thessalonians 5:12–28, we trace how Paul brings his letter home with a series of compact, practical exhortations that define congregational life and personal devotion. The sermon unpacks our call to esteem faithful leaders, pursue peace, wisely care for the unrul...
