One with My Lord
The Life-Changing Reality of Being in Christ
Rev. Sam Allberry
In 'One with My Lord', Sam Allberry explores the doctrine of union with Christ through a rich study of New Testament scriptures. Each chapter is designed to be read as a devotional, providing believers with a fresh perspective to pursue holiness, resist sin, build community, and worship God. The book emphasizes that being 'in Christ' is central to the Christian life, defining who believers are and enriching every area of their lives. It is an excellent resource for personal devotions, small group discussions, or deeper discipleship.
If God is so committed to our joy and our glory, if he loves us so much, why is our life so hard?
That’s what the book of Hebrews is about and the answer, in a nutshell, is life is a journey. It’s a journey from weariness into rest. It’s a journey from alienation into the presence of God. It’s a journey from isolation into the city of God. And the only way you’re going to get home is by fixing your eyes on Jesus. The whole idea of Hebrews is you don’t get home through bursts, through sprints, but in a sustained, long-term way.
In Hebrews 1 and 2, we learn what Jesus has to do with this question: 1) what he brings, 2) why he brings it; and 3) how it can change our lives.
This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on February 6, 2005. Series: Christ: Our Treasury (The Book of Hebrews). Scripture: Hebrews 1:1-4; 2:1-4.
