Name Brand - Audio

It is Rodeo season here in Houston. Soon, everyone will be wearing boots and hats and will try to look the part. Those attending the livestock show may notice a mark on the animals being shown. This brand identifies that animal as belonging to someone. Just as ranchers brand their cattle to show ownership, and companies use logos to identify themselves in the marketplace, our lives are meant to carry a mark that identifies us as God’s own. A branded cow belongs to someone who paid the price and protects it. In the same way, God has paid for us, claims us, and watches over us. His desire is to leave a recognizable imprint on our lives—the name of Jesus seen in who we are and how we live. In a world full of knock‑offs and imitations, we’re called to be the real thing, not just a form of godliness but a genuine reflection of the One we belong to.
