Through salvation, we as Christians get to experience the fullness of His riches, His wisdom, His blessings, and His resurrection power in our life. This leads to the ability to live a victorious life, where we are fully capable of being who God called us to be! 

Before you got saved, you were living in guilt and shame, but now, if you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior,  you have received His mercy. You are now totally forgiven! 

Join Pastor Michael as he breaks down our forgiveness in Ephesians 1:7

In Ephesians 1, we see two “r” words highlighting our value to God in Jesus Christ - "Redemption" and "Riches".

When these words come together, it truly brings to light how valuable you and I are! 

Listen as Pastor Michael breaks down our worth to God in Ephesians 1:7.

Finding and knowing your identity is so important in life. 

It is your deepest desire of who you are. It's the story you tell about yourself. And it subconsciously drives everything else in life.

Join Pastor Michael as he preaches on "Finding our Identity in Christ" found in Ephesians 1.

Much of the acceptance people receive today is based on what they do rather than who they are. And because of that, We are prone to make our performance the basis of God’s acceptance. And often, the grace in our life can be overshadowed by perceived expectations. 

But the good news for believers is this is not how our God works!

God does not love us because of our good works or our avoidance of bad works; He loves us because of who He is and accepts us because of His grace and sacrifice of His Son.

Listen as Pastor Michael highlights the power of acceptance in Ephesians 1:6.

God loves us! Let that sink in. God loves you! Human love is fickle, and it fluctuates and it comes and goes. But God’s love for us is consistent and never changes. God’s love for us is everlasting.

Because of Salvation, we are eternally loved by Almighty God!

Your identity and worth are not found in what you do, what you look like, or other people's opinions. Your identity and value are in Who you belong to, and His name is Jesus, the one who gave His life for you!

No matter what fails in your life, if you have trusted Christ as your Saviour, you are a child of God. Outside, things can change, but you will always be one of God's own.

As Christians, we recognize the need to understand and discover our identity. But the problem is, we look for it in the wrong place. 

We base our identity on what others think about us and our identity on what we think about ourselves, but this way of thinking will leave you feeling empty. 

Because your identity and worth are not found in what you do, what you look like, or other people's opinions. Your identity and worth is in Who you belong to, and His name is Jesus. 

God has a perfect plan for you, but if we base our identity on what others think about us rather than who we are in Christ, we will miss out on that plan. 

Often, we base our identity in one of three ways. Two of these ways are wrong; one way is right. Over the next three days, we will highlight each and determine how to receive our identity rather than achieve our identity. 

Go. It is a small, two-letter word used 1,544 times in the Word of God. It is a word of deliberate action, of divine advance, and of definite aim.

The Lord Jesus Christ commanded His followers to go with the gospel, which is the mission of every New Testament believer.

Join Pastor Michael as he wraps up the Back To The Basics series by getting Back To Go.
