In this message, we begin a new series exploring Identity, Authority, and Mission, starting with the question of who we really are in Christ. Ryan unpacks how our identity is often shaped by the “lenses” we carry - formed through experiences, wounds, culture, and the stories we believe about ourselves. These lenses can quietly distort how we see God, ourselves, and others, making it difficult to receive the truth of the gospel.Drawing from Genesis 3, the teachings of Jesus on repentance, and the promise of new creation in 2 Corinthians 5, Ryan shows how kingdom life begins with learning to see clearly again. As we allow Jesus and His finished work to become the lens through which we interpret life, old lies lose their power and we begin to embrace the freedom of our new creation identity!
