I Believe # 7 - Christ Centered Perspective | The Apostles' Creed

Connection Church NYC Sermons

The sermon focuses on the Christ-Centered Perspective provided specifically the statement of the Apostles' Creed - "He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father." Pastor Daniel emphasizes the importance of perspective in shaping beliefs and actions, highlighting the danger of having a limited or misguided viewpoint.
The ascension of Jesus is discussed, acknowledging that it may have initially left the disciples feeling abandoned. However, the Christ-centered perspective assures believers that Jesus will never abandon them and has empowered them with the Holy Spirit. The application of this promise is emphasized, especially in times of life's challenges, grief, or failure.
The sermon contrasts the temporary nature of this world with the eternal promise of a Christ-centered perspective. Believers are encouraged to find purpose, value, and fulfillment in the Lord rather than seeking them from the world. The tension of being committed to serving the world while recognizing it is not the ultimate home is explored.
The message concludes by highlighting the hope Christians have in bringing peace, hope, and love into their lives and the lives of others, all empowered by the Holy Spirit. The supreme authority of Jesus, seated at the right hand of God, is emphasized as a source of hope, reminding believers of their eternal victory over sin and death.
The importance of maintaining a Christ-centered perspective, focusing on the things above, is stressed as believers navigate the challenges of life. The sermon ends with an encouragement to look up to Jesus, who intercedes for believers and empowers them to live with a perspective that acknowledges Jesus as King.
