HBC Chester

In the first of a new Autumn series, "Transformed by knowing God", Abi Lycett explores identity through John 1 and the life of Paul. When we receive Christ, we're given the right to become children of God, and that truth can reshape how we see ourselves, relate to others, and live each day. Discover what it looks like to be secure in who God made you to be.
