The world will try to tell you who you are. The problem is that every identity we could possibly affix to ourselves fails to speak to our true nature as followers of Jesus. In Christ, we find our true identity. He offers us our purpose, significance and meaning. He created us and is the only one who knows us inside and out. This 6-week series will help your congregation discover that they are loved by Jesus and that He calls them to a full life.
