Foundational Identity | Who Am I?, Part 1

In this series, we are exploring identity. It’s a familiar concept yet difficult to define. Oftentimes, we define ourselves in relation to someone or something. Our identity becomes contingent on external conditions, qualifications, achievements, or labels. But what if we chose an identity that was non-contingent?Every one of us is made in the image of God. We have intrinsic value and worth - it cannot be earned or lost. It’s our foundational identity. As we launch a brand new year, would you be willing to ask yourself not “WHAT do I want to do this year?” but “WHO do I want to be this year?”. How might this year be different than last year if you defined yourself first by WHO you are in relation to God?SCRIPTURE: Genesis 1:26-2826 Then God said, “Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth, and the small animals that scurry along the ground.”27 So God created human beings[d] in his own image.    In the image of God he created them;    male and female he created them.28 Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that scurry along the ground.”Hebrews 13:8 “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever”. MUSIC:Praise - Elevation WorshipGraves Into Gardens - Elevation WorshipGive Me Jesus - Antoine BradfordNEXT STEPS: Wherever you are, we want to help you discover what’s next.https://www.npaustin.com/whatsnextNot sure where to start?
