Identity: The Beloved

10 January 2021 - First Sunday of Epiphany - The road that Jesus traveled from his immersion in the Jordan to Golgotha was fraught with opposition. He was hindered by Satan, by the religious and political authorities, and even by his own disciples, who were blinded and motivated by self-interest. Jesus overcame these trials, in part, due to his unshakable identity as the Beloved with whom the Father was well pleased. Knowing our identity as Beloved in the Messiah gives us the same resources in times of testing. Due to technical issues caused by the latest pandemic lockdown, the audio quality will be a bit different today. Thank you for your grace. We pray that the Lord is sustain in you through this time.
