Identity in Christ 3 - Principles | Sermon 9/22/24

September 22, 2024 • John 14:6, John 17:17, 2 Timothy 3:16–17, Hebrews 4:12–13, John 8:31–38

Who is God? What is He like? How is the One True God we worship different from the gods of other religions? What difference does knowing God make in my life? How does knowing God affect my Identity?

Understanding who the True God is and what He is like is essential for understanding what it means to worship, love, and follow Him and for understanding who we are and what our true identity is. God reveals Himself to us through His Word, the Bible. Isn’t it amazing that the God of the universe has made a way for us to know Him intimately! That He has given us the true words of scripture to show us His character, His work in the world, and how He relates to His people?

Prepare for this week’s message by reading Psalm 86:15, Isaiah 40: 25-31, Romans 11:33-36, Colossians 1:15-20, Jude 24-25. Take some time to note what these verses reveal about God.

October 20, 2024 • Dakota Searles • 2 Peter 1:3–8, Isaiah 58:6–9, Philippians 2:12–13, 1 Timothy 4:7–8

As we walk through the sanctification process of restoring our identities through the Gospel, we bring this transformed self into all the places we inhabit and the relationships we have with others. This truly is the foundation of the patterns of relating we have with God, the world, our work, our church, and the people in our lives. Rooting our identities in the Gospel causes us to walk in transformed Practices. As a church we strive for our principles, perspectives, purposes, and priorities to reflect God’s as they should, for His glory and our joy! Prepare for this week’s message by reviewing Isaiah 58:6-9, Galatians 5:22-25, Ephesians 4:22-30, Philippians 2:12-13, 1 Timothy 4:7-8 and 6:11-19, 1 Peter 1:13-21, and 2 Peter 1:3-8.

Identity in Christ 6 - Priorities | Sermon 10/13/24

October 13, 2024 • Erik Miller • Matthew 6:19–33

Our priorities are Identity’s choices. It has been said how you spend your days is how you spend your life. The choices we make reveal our priorities. We make time and room in our budgets for what is important to us. In the life of a believer our overarching priority is to glorify God. Bringing praise, honor and glory to His name supersedes all other priorities. Paul put it this way; “I count all things as loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.” (Philippians 3:8-11) God's glory is a theme woven throughout scripture. Prepare for this week’s message by reading: Romans 15:5-6, 13, Ephesians 3:17-21, Philippians 4:19-20, Colossians 3:16-17, 1 Timothy 1:17, 6:15-16, Hebrews 13:20-21, 2 Peter 3:18, Jude 24-25
