Identify Yourself!

Contributed by Danny Anderson on Jul 17, 2006

We are as He is in this world...As followers of Jesus Christ, we have an obligation first to our Lord then to others to live lives that identify us as set apart from this world, different from those who don’t know the Lord.

Identify Yourself! Text: 1 Jn 4:17; Re 1:13-16 Introduction: As a child, I remember a Sci-Fi TV show where the robot would go around saying, "Identify yourself!" As humans, we all have an identity.

Never Surrender Your Authenticity

Contributed by Fr. Rian Adams on Apr 6, 2020

Christ And His Church Series

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Feb 17, 2011

The challenge for the church is not what we do when we call our Sunday morning huddle, but what we do when we break our huddle ... When Satan lines up against us, what difference does it make that we are Christians?

Opening illustration: The job of the church is not to impact the church, but to impact the world. It’s like a huddle in a football game. 67,000 people don’t pay $25.00 a ticket to watch the Titans huddle. What if you went to a Titans game and for 2½ hours you watched 11 men stand in a circle and ...read more
