Incoming Call: Saints

This message confronts a profound truth that transforms how we see ourselves in Christ: we are not works-in-progress striving toward sainthood someday—we are saints right now. The sermon explores the biblical reality that every Christian, from the moment of baptism, carries the identity of 'saint,' a term used 68 times in the New Testament to describe all believers, not just a select few spiritual superstars. Drawing from passages in Romans, Philippians, and Ephesians, we discover that God doesn't call us by our past failures or future potential, but by our present identity in Christ. The church at Corinth—messy, divided, and struggling—was still addressed as 'the saints in Corinth.' This isn't about denying our struggles; it's about understanding that through justification, we have been made holy by Jesus' sacrifice, and through sanctification, we are being made holy as we learn to live consistently with who we already are. The challenge isn't to become something we're not, but to embrace and live out the reality of what God has already declared us to be. When we grasp this truth, it changes everything—from how we handle temptation to how we view our failures, knowing that God sees Christ in us even when we struggle to see it ourselves. Chapter 1: The Embarrassing Moment That Defined Worth (0:00 - 5:00) A personal story of failure during communion service illustrates how God sees our worth beyond our worst mistakes and gives us a new identity. Chapter 2: All Christians Are Saints (5:00 - 10:00) The biblical definition of saint applies to all Christians, not just special or deceased individuals, and this identity is given immediately upon accepting Christ. Chapter 3: Being Made Holy While Being Made Holy (10:00 - 15:00) While we are made holy through Christ's sacrifice (justification), we are also being made holy through ongoing transformation (sanctification) as we learn to live like who we are. Chapter 4: Living as Saints in a Broken World (15:00 - 20:00) Certain behaviors don't fit the life of a saint, and while we may fail to show God to others, God never fails to see Christ in us.
