    Not Identical Twins

    Jacob and Esau symbolize two different paths with different ends.

    Not Identical Twins Genesis 25:19-28 We begin this morning a study on the life of Jacob. Jacob is mentioned as one of a triad of personalities, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. As Paul reminds us, all Scripture is profitable for doctrine and example. When Paul was saying this, he was ...read more

    Inheritance Or Identity?

    The parable of the Good Samaritan is a parable about identity couched in the lawyer's question about inheritance. Both are ours in Christ, but one is more important than the other.

    Inheritance or identity? The parable of the Good Samaritan is one of those passages that we could probably all recite from memory if we had to. We know what happens - a man is traveling along the road, he is ambushed, left for dead, and then two religious guys are too busy or otherwise concerned ...read more

    How the unscriptural term "church" is causing an Identity Crisis!

    I found it interesting that Dr. Erwin Lutzer was named "Bible Teacher of the Year" by Christian Newswire and yet in todays (2/19) radio message from Moody Chuch (Part 3 of 4 Callings-I Pt.2) erroneously stated that "ekklesia" is the Greek word for "church". One will look in vain for the Greek word ...read more

    Just like Jacob in Genesis 32, you may have wrestled with struggles in your life—challenges that tested your faith and made you question your future. But I want you to know this: God is ready to meet you in your struggle, transform you, and give you a new identity.

    Sermon: Jacob’s New Identity Text: Genesis 32:22-32 Title: "A New Identity for a New Year" Key Text: Genesis 32:28 (NKJV): "And He said, 'Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have struggled with God and with men, and have prevailed.' Illustration: ...read more

    The world has led us to believe that we can identify ourselves to be anything we want to be, but how does God look at us?

    My sermon illustration experts at McDonald’s were asking whether I had been including them in any of my sermons recently, so I decided to ask them this question. If a random person on the street walked up to you and asked, “Who are you? Tell me about yourself,” what are the identifiers you would ...read more

    Mistaken Identity

    Contributed by Phillip Smith on Nov 11, 2023
     | 1,607 views

    Mistaken identity is a fact of physical life here on earth. Humans have to have identities for everything. Humans have to have an identifying aspect of every object, place and person to distinguish one from another.

    A young couple found they were expecting a child. As the pregnancy progressed, they found out they were going to have twins. What an excitement. Yet, what a problem. What if they were identical twins! How would they tell them apart long enough to teach them their respective names? The idea of ...read more

    Identity Theft

    Contributed by Phillip Smith on Nov 11, 2023
     | 1,601 views

    An unstable person who feels inadequate in their identity might steal another’s because it might bring them personal gain. Others who have turned to evil find pleasure in stealing from a person more wealthy than they.

    Knowing mankind has to have individual identifiers for every person, place and thing, he has instinctively created an almost impossibility to recognize things of a spiritual nature. Man cannot readily recognize things of a spiritual nature because he does not see, hear, touch, nor smell or taste a ...read more

    Identity And Language

    Mere observation may not be suitable to reveal the identity of a person/group but the use of language sounds appropriate.’.., say now Shibboleth: and he said Sibboleth for he could not frame to pronounce it right...’ The language was used to reveal identities among the ancient Israelites.

    I. An encyclopedia is not necessary to define what an identity simply means. It is just what people use to trace who a person is. It could be the name, skin color, place of origin, culture or language (Genesis 10:31). Due to globalization and trade among nations, these characteristics are becoming ...read more

    Identity answers the question “Who am I?” My identity is based on how I view myself, the foundation I build my life upon, and where I find my sense of worth, acceptance, and well-being. Everything changes when we find the King!

    Sermon: An Identity Crisis Scripture: 2 Samuel 9:1-13 “One day David asked, “Is anyone in Saul’s family still alive—anyone to whom I can show kindness for Jonathan’s sake?” 2 He summoned a man named Ziba, who had been one of Saul’s servants. “Are you Ziba?” the king asked. “Yes sir, I am,” Ziba ...read more

    Paul and Barnabas were involved in a mistaken identity of sorts, when they were thought to be something that they were not.

    “Mistaken Identity” Acts 14:5-7, 8-18 While I was at a preachers meeting last week another preacher came to me and asked me where I lived. He told me that he knew a pastor in Florida that could pass as my twin. I don’t know if that was meant to be good or not. We took a picture of us together ...read more
