Good morning, Crossroads! Today, we're kicking off a new series, and I want to thank you for your amazing response to our recent family chat about our church's future. Your participation in community initiatives and efforts to connect with new faces have already made a significant impact.

For the next 40 days, we're going to set aside all the negative comments from our past—what your high school coach, math teacher, or even your parents might have said—and focus on what God, the Bible, and Jesus say about us. We're going to dive into these teachings, learning from someone whose life was radically transformed by walking with Jesus. This journey will help us address the struggles we face with our identity. Now, let's dive into today's message. Open your Bibles to Genesis 1, Ephesians 2, or Colossians 1 as we explore how to overcome these negative voices and embrace the identity God intended for us. Let's get started!
