Counterfeit Kingdom, Identity Crisis – Finding Yourself or Losing Yourself

Identity Crisis – Finding Yourself or Losing Yourself

Who gets to define who you are?

Our culture offers countless ways to build an identity around our experiences, accomplishments, struggles, politics, relationships, or even what has happened to us. But for a follower of Jesus, identity isn’t something we create. It’s something we receive.

In this message, Pastor David explores Galatians 2:20 and Jesus’ words in Matthew 5 to discover what happens when Christ becomes the defining center of our lives. Because identity never stays internal. Identity produces action, and action produces influence.

You don’t discover who you are by looking inward. You discover who you are by looking upward.

Galatians 2:20
