Seated with Christ: The Power of Your Heavenly Position

Nov 8, 2026  •  Steve Thomas

This sermon explores the significance of Christ's ascension for the believer, focusing on the truth that every Christian is positionally seated with Christ at the right hand of God. The pastor emphasizes that this heavenly position is not merely a theological abstraction but the very source of spiritual power for daily Christian living. Drawing primarily from Ephesians, Colossians, and Hebrews, the message argues that believers cannot successfully obey the practical commands of Scripture — loving their spouses, resisting temptation, enduring suffering — without first grounding their identity in their position in Christ. The sermon calls believers to "frame their minds" on things above, to see themselves the way the Father sees them, and to draw strength from their union with Christ rather than from human effort or worldly solutions.
