This Week at The 316 Church

Date: July 12, 2026

Speaker: Kristena Shiflett

Sermon Series: Royalty Part 2

Message Title: I am a Child of the King

Message Summary: This powerful message invites us into a deeper understanding of what it means to be children of the King, grounded in Romans 8:14-17, which declares that we are heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ. We're challenged to shift our perspective from simply being servants to recognizing our royal identity as God's image bearers who were created from the very beginning to reign with Him. Unlike ancient creation stories where humanity was made merely to serve the gods, Scripture reveals something revolutionary: we were created for divine partnership, invited into union with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This isn't about our own glory, but about understanding the profound access we have to the King at any moment, without barriers or appointments. We're reminded that Holy Spirit was given so we could boldly approach the throne of grace, not just once a week, but in every moment of our daily lives. The message beautifully contrasts earthly royalty, where even princes must schedule time with the king, with our unlimited access to the King of Kings. This isn't a passive privilege but an active calling to be stewards of God's reputation on earth, ambassadors who carry His kingdom into every workspace, home, and relationship. The question becomes: what are we doing with this incredible access, and how are we living out the mission God has entrusted to us?
