Sermons About Identity
A Radical Change in Position
The death and resurrection of Christ has removed every impediment, every distance, every barrier to intimacy with God. They are nailed to the Cross. And while the gift of this new relationship, this union and intimacy, will take a lifetime to grow into, it is already our permanent possession.

The Mind of the Life (Psalm 1)
Life is filled with all sorts of landscape. An all terrain faith is equally balanced for the breathtaking view from the mountaintop and the confusing trek though a cold, dark valley. It provides adequate support for walking in rough, rocky stretches and stability for the slippery spots. In this exploration of the Psalms, we will see that no matter where you find yourself in life there is an appropriate faith response to your life situation. Are you ready for the hike?

The Call of Christ
What we see in the chapter we’re in this morning is a basic outline of what it means to be called by Christ as His disciple. This pattern runs through each Gospel and it runs through the New Testament. If Jesus is who He says He is, what does it mean to be called by Him and live that out?

The Mysterious Comfort of a God Who Fights Against Us
This sermon unpacks one of the strangest stories of the Bible: Jacob's wrestling with God. Join us as we explore the mystery of confronting the Terrible-Beautiful God. God sometimes comes as an adversary, but broken and sinful people who surrender to Him find new life and blessing. As C. S. Lewis once portrayed Him: "He's good, but not safe."

Identity Crisis
As followers of Christ, we are called to take to be risk-takers. We are invited to be Lion Chasers, much like Benaiah, found in 2 Samuel 23:20 & 21. One of the key characteristics of a Lion Chaser is being yourself - the person God has shaped you to be.

What's Your Story? (Romans 8:18-23, 28, 31-39)
The themes of brokenness and redemption dominate the gospel story. If we look closely at our own lives, we can spot these same themes, and maybe even Jesus too. In this sermon, Pastor Joel Lindsey tells his story in order to point to the greater story God is telling.

True Identity
Christmas can be a distracting time. It’s a time when consumerism demands our attention and presents seem to often take precedence over peace. During this time when many celebrate the birth of Jesus we often find our lives in an uproar. Yet this was the opposite of why God sent his Son. Jesus came to bring us what the Hebrews called shalom (peace). His desire was to begin this peace in us and then to see us pass it on.

Not Good Enough
Ever feel like you just don’t measure up? Sometimes it easy to find our identity in what we think of ourselves. Those things that we think about ourselves are often shaped by lies our mind ingests. Sometimes the lies are from family. Sometime they’re from friends or coworkers. Sometimes we simply don’t see ourselves as having value. No matter how bad we feel about ourselves, Jesus feels differently.

What I Do
Who are you? Often the answer to that question can be found in any number of different answers. Sometimes those answers are defined by our jobs. Sometimes they are defined by our families. Perhaps who we are is even defined by our past. Yet, so many of those things are more about our reputation and less about our true identity. As we consider what God has to say about who we are it is our response to Jesus that takes us on a journey from reputation to finding our true identity.

Retro - The 70's (Find Yourself)
The 70's were all about finding yourself in whatever it was that made you feel good about yourself. Often times we find ourselves in things this world communicates as important and we're missing on who we truly are. Phil McArdle

Jesus and Your Stuff
As Jesus sets out on his downward journey to the cross, a rich young man on his way up in the world approaches Jesus with a question about eternal life. In the collision of the God-Man heading down and the young man heading up, the ruler gets his life dismantled. The cost of following Jesus is great, and he will lay claim to every inch of our lives. Will you let him wreck your life?

Charisma
Oswald Chambers once said, "Never allow the thought, 'I am no use where I am.' You certainly can be of no use where you are not." In this week's message, Pastor Scott encourages each of us to discover, and step out, in the areas God has gifted us. Key Passage: Galatians 5:25, 26

A Peculiar People
Robert Munger has said, "In our time it may well be that the greatest single bottleneck to the renewal and outreach of the church is the division of roles between clergy and laity that results in a hesitancy of the clergy to trust the laity with significant responsibility, and in turn a reluctance on the part of the laity to trust themselves as authentic ministers of Christ, either in the church or outside the church." Key Passage: 1 Peter 2:4-5, 9-10

Who Are You?
Samson's strength came from God but he didn't take his calling seriously. He dismissed God's power as if it were magic or a superstition. When we look at our own lives, are we acknowledging God and staying true to our calling as Christians?
