You’ve Read the Bible. But Missed This.

Main message: The sermon unpacks three biblical categories—children of God (believing humans), the Son of God (Jesus uniquely eternal), and the "sons of God" (created spiritual beings)—to show how God shares rule with his creatures, how Jesus' incarnation and resurrection make new life possible, and how some created spiritual beings rebel and oppose God and humanity.

Key points:

• John 1 teaches that those who receive Jesus by faith are given the right to become children of God.
• "The Son of God" (Jesus) is unique, eternal, God incarnate, and has all authority through his death and resurrection.
• Because God acted supernaturally in Christ, a supernatural reality (other spiritual beings) is real and must be taken seriously.
• The Bible speaks of created "sons of God" who form a divine council (Psalm 82); God shares rule with created beings though he alone creates and decides.
• Some of those created divine beings rebelled, becoming false gods and spiritual powers that deceive and oppose God and humanity; Christ has limited but not yet finally destroyed them (see Revelation/Ephesians themes).
