God So Loved: Sanctification // Matt Chandler

This week, Matt Chandler, Lead Pastor of The Village Church, walks through 1 Corinthians 15 to show that the gospel is not a front door you walk through and leave behind - it is past, present, and future. Sanctification is learning to stand in that finished work: meditating on grace until it quiets the scoreboard, refusing to make “struggle” your identity, and dragging the hidden 1% into the light through confession and repentance, trusting that the same gospel that saved you will hold you. The main points we can see from 1 Corinthians 15 are: Which you received (past): God is holy, we have fallen short, Christ came to save, and the right response is heart-belief and mouth-confession In which you stand (present): gospel meditation, freedom from the old nature, and ongoing confession and repentance By which you are being saved (future): hold fast; the gospel that saved you will sustain you Speaker: Matt Chandler Testimony: Audrey Chandler Series: God So Loved Message Title: Sanctification Passage: 1 Corinthians 15:1–5
