In this sermon from Summit Crossing Community Church, Jamie, the Director for Missions, continues a three-part series on the resurrection by focusing on its present-day impact. Drawing from Romans 6:3–5, he emphasizes that believers are not only raised with Christ but are united to Him, forming a deep, intimate relationship that fuels mission. Using vivid personal stories—like his childhood experience with a corded electric trimmer—Jamie illustrates the necessity of being 'plugged in' to Christ to live with purpose and power. He challenges listeners to move beyond stated belief to actual belief, where God’s love is not earned but freely given, as seen in the unconditional love parents have for their children. The sermon highlights that union with Christ leads to being sent on mission, not as isolated individuals but as part of a communal, Spirit-led church. The message culminates in the commissioning of a missionary to Central Asia, framed not as an endpoint but as the beginning of ongoing church-wide support and spiritual partnership. The service concludes with communion, symbolizing the believer’s union with Christ and the church’s shared identity in His resurrection life.
You are raised with Christ and given a new life—your power source is not your effort, but your union with Him.
Actual belief (not just stated belief) is essential: God sees you not as a sinner, but as His beloved child.
Being united to Christ leads to mission—not because you're good enough, but because you're sent by Him.
Mission is communal: the church, not just individuals, should discern and support God’s call.
The commissioning of a missionary is a milestone for the whole church, not just the individual.
