Adoption

Intimate Equals

May 1, 2022

If you are building your identity on who you are as God’s child; if you are building your relationship with the One who will never leave you nor forsake you; if you are building your identity as the child of the Almighty God who brings princes to naught, who reduces the rulers to nothing – then the next time someone tries to criticize you, intimidate you, or oppose you – you will not cower nor crumble, but you’ll stand confidently because you will know Him who is with you and for you. 

Reboot Identity

October 24, 2021

You are His beloved child now and forever.  This is not wishful thinking, but an eternal reality.  It has always been God’s plan to make you His child.  That’s the whole point of God adopting you as His very own child the moment you believe in Jesus.  He makes you His child.  It’s His choice.  The choice to make you His own rests entirely on the Father’s great love for you.  

Be The Church: Jesus is All About Us

November 6, 2019

This is how much Jesus loves the Church:  He adopts us, saves us, creates new life in us, so He can be with us and live among us.  We are not just His family, we are His home!  Let this truth sink in: The Church was created by Jesus for Jesus.  That’s why Jesus loves His Church. That’s why He’s all about us. We are His dwelling place.

Rooted in the Spirit, Part Two

April 16, 2019

One of the best benefits of our new union in Christ is that each one of us has the potential to change and become like Jesus. You no longer have to be controlled by selfish or sinful desires: You can experience victory over anger, greed, lust, hatred, drunkenness, discontent, anxiety and fear. The reason we can experience victory, the reason we have this potential to change because God has put His Spirit in us. 

Neighborhood Group Foundations: Our Shared Identity

October 31, 2017

If we see ourselves as works in process, GRACE will always characterize our relationships. You, see the one thing the world doesn’t see enough from us is grace. Sure, they expect us to judge them, they expect us to moralize them – but if this identity begins to shape how you live, you will never judge nor moralize anyone, because when you are following Jesus, when you keep your focus on Jesus… you will know that you are far… far… far from perfect.

Blessed to Be a Blessing: Blessed

April 24, 2016

As the Divine Craftsman, Jesus fits us into His household: Every one of us is precisely cut to fit snugly, strongly, and beautifully with every other part. Nothing is out of place, defective, misshapen or inappropriate. Because it is Christ’s building, the church is perfect, spotless, without defect of blemish. And what this means is incredible: There are no misfits in His family! Every misfit actually does fit in with Jesus!
