"Who Belongs to Whom?"

Central Passage: 1 Corinthians 3:16-23

Preacher: Dr. Heath Rickmond

Outline:

• Introduction:
  • Covenant commitments are not bondage--they mean freedom from something to a new identity marker.
  • Baptism is the wedding band that outwardly shows the inward disposition of a believer's heart.
  • Baptism looks like dying to something and living for Christ, embracing a new identity marker.
  • God has set His identity marker on us.

1. Mark 1: God's People Have His Presence
2. Mark 2: God's People Have All Things in Christ

• Conclusion:
  • Why invest in momentary joy now when you can have eternal joy in heaven in Christ?
  • Look for better identity markers.
  • We all need to be reminded of these markers--remember who you belong to.
