Pastor Aaron Buer continues our Rekindle sermon series by examining the powerful influences that shape our lives. We are challenged to anchor ourselves in the transformative power of the gospel rather than living as "lovers of self" and destructive influences. We see the vital impact of spiritual mentors who model a gospel-centered life and the foundational influence of families grounding children in the Scripture. Ultimately, we are called to embrace gospel-rooted identities while intentionally pouring into the next generation as disciples who make disciples.
