Sermon: Identity (He's Enough series)

There are no shortages of activities, assets, and privileges that this world will try to tell you will make you feel happy, wanted, and loved.  The world loves throwing "things" at us and trying to convince us that those "things" will satisfy our souls.  All you need is the right social group; all you need is the right financial purpose; all you need is the right political cause.  Missing in all of this is a realization that the holes in our hearts are God-shaped and can only be filled by one thing... God.  It can all be summed up in one phrase: He's enough.  He's enough for our wants, He's enough for our needs.  He's enough for our humbling, He's enough for our salvation.  He's enough for anything and everything our hearts could desire.  If we have Him, how could we want for anything else? This is the first message in our series which focuses on the subject of our identity.  Society has many ways it can try to categorize or "bin" each person.  You can do it by political persuasion, sexual preferences, race, economic status, or many other metrics you can find in a survey or census form.  What does the Bible have to say about our identities?  More importantly, what does it say about our relationship with God if we still require some type of worldly identity in order to feel "whole"?
