Who Am I? Finding your identity in Christ.

Part 7: Courageous

May 21, 2023 • Pastor Luke Uran • Acts 4:1–21

The same courage that the Holy Spirit gave to ordinary people in the book of Acts is available to us ordinary people today. It’s based on solely upon knowing Jesus.

Part 6: Too Busy

May 14, 2023 • Pastor Luke Uran • Luke 10:38–42

Busyness isn’t always bad, but it does not equal faithfulness. It can be an effort to earn approval – from other people or from God. And, it can rob us of peace and rest. Let’s look deeper into a familiar story from Luke’s gospel that shows us a better way.

Part 5: Between Two Worlds

May 7, 2023 • Pastor Luke Uran • Ephesians 2:11–22

As believers, we live in this world as outsiders, foreigners. Yet God promises we are not alone in this journey. In fact, despite our messy world, God helps us to thrive and enables us to help others thrive, too.

Part 4: Holy

April 30, 2023 • Pastor Luke Uran • Isaiah 6:1–8, 1 Peter 1:13–16

We tend to view God’s call to holiness as unattainable. But maybe we’ve misunderstood what it means to live a holy life. First it’s about understanding God’s holiness. Then it’s understanding how it relates to our own identity, and the ways we think, act and see the world.

Part 3: In God's Image

April 23, 2023 • Genesis 1:26–28

God created us in his own image. That’s such a familiar line from Genesis 1 that we can lose sight of what it really means. It has everything to do with how we live, especially how we see others and ourselves.

Part 2: Child of God

April 16, 2023 • Pastor Luke Uran • 1 John 3:1–10

Have you ever stopped to think about what it means to be a child of God? As children of God, we inherit not only his name but also his nature. The Apostle John had much to say about how we can live in light of this amazing truth.

Part 1: This Changes Everything

April 9, 2023 • Pastor Luke Uran • Luke 24:1–12, Colossians 3:1–17

Jesus’ resurrection changed the whole world, and it transforms our identity today — who we are, how we think and act, how we relate to others and how we view the future. On Easter, we take a fresh look at the what truly defines us as the Body of Christ.
