This sermon centered on anchoring our lives in our identity in Christ, reminding us that to live as a presence-centered people, we must first know who we are in Him. Walking through Ephesians 1:3–14, we were reminded that our identity is not shaped by circumstances, performance, or cultural pressure, but by what God has already done for us in Jesus. Paul points us to eternal realities—that we are chosen, loved, adopted, redeemed, forgiven, and sealed by the Holy Spirit—blessings that define who we are and give us confidence, security, and hope. When we live from this God-given identity rather than striving to earn it, our lives naturally respond in worship, deepen in prayer, and move outward in mission for the praise of God’s glorious grace.
