Blessed!, Part 1 of ID: Finding Your True Identity in Christ kicked off this past Sunday with Pastor Ken taking a look at Ephesians 1:1-14. Click here to read the series intro.
Sermon Summary
Who am I? Many people struggle with a sense of identity. What is it that makes me who I am? What defines me – my looks, my family, my job, my car, my bank account, my sexuality? There is much confusion on the subject and all sorts of “voices” that seek to tell us how we should define ourselves. As Christians, ultimately we don’t receive our identity from any of these things. In the deepest sense our identity comes from who we are “in Christ”. The book of Ephesians has much to say about our identity as individual believers and collectively as the church. This Christ-centred identity is infinitely greater than any of the inadequate definitions by which culture and media seek to define us. In the first 14 verses of the letter to the Ephesians, the words seem to tumble out of Paul’s mind and heart and onto the page as He describes what God has done and who we are in Christ (verses 3-14 are one long sentence in Greek!). There is so much in these verses that we could spend weeks reflecting on them. The challenge for us as a church is to allow God’s Word and the Spirit of God to take us deeper in our knowledge of God and our understanding of who we are in Christ.
