God's Covenant

Pastor Pat McCalla · Jun 20, 2021

Identity is one of the most pressing questions every human being faces, and Scripture answers it definitively: those who put their faith and trust in Jesus are chosen, royal priests, a holy nation, and God's very own possession. Drawing on the Hebrew word shem — meaning reputation, authority, and identity, not merely a title — Pastor Pat traces a thread from Abraham's starlit covenant through David's eternal kingdom, Daniel's vision of the Son of Man, and Paul's mystery in Ephesians to Peter's declaration in 1 Peter 2:9-10. The sermon argues that knowing whose you are — belonging to God through Jesus — is the only foundation solid enough to answer who you are.
