Follow Me | Week 2

Who defines you? In Week 2 of our series, Follow Me, Pastor Dave Mudd delivers a powerful message on the "Up" relationship—our vertical connection with the Father. Before Jesus ever performed a miracle or preached a word, God declared, "This is my beloved Son." We often struggle with performance-driven faith and negative self-talk, allowing the world to label us based on our successes or failures. Today, we learn that your true identity is not achieved; it is received. It’s time to stop striving for acceptance and start living from it. Discover how a secure identity in Christ empowers you to withstand testing, serve others with humility, and live out your mission with boldness. Key Takeaways: - Identity Precedes Activity: Learn why God’s love for you is based on who you are as His child, not on your performance or productivity. - The Three Tests of Identity: Understand the three criteria that only God can meet to truly have the right to "name" you and define your worth. - Withstanding the Test: Discover how a secure identity in God’s voice allows you to overcome the lies and temptations of the enemy. - Living from Acceptance: Find out how rooting yourself in the Father's love transforms service from an exhausting obligation into a joyful expression.
