Charlotte continues our teaching series on Identity this week, looking at how God has chosen us to be holy and blameless and encouraged us on how to keep in step with the Spirit and pursue the shape of Jesus.

A life alive, raised and seated with Jesus is all about your spiritual location now as well as in eternity. Where do you live your life from? There is a present invitation and participation in Jesus' resurrection life here on earth, and the empowerment of the Holy Spirit is crucial to sharing the message of reconciliation with others!

Knowing that we are forgiven and free from guilt and shame is one thing, but has that knowledge made the 18 inch journey from our heads to our hearts? How much are you living in the identity of 'I am forgiven'?

Chris kicks off our new teaching series on Identity. If our new identity when we say yes to Jesus is decided by our Creator, we then have a choice: do we believe what others say about our identity, or do we get hold of our true identity and understand that 'I am who God says I am and have what He says I have?' Do we choose truth, or lies?

There is fullness of abundant life in God's story for us and He is the author and perfector of our faith! How do we allow more of God's story for us to break in to our lives, so that we actually live it and not the one that we could write for ourselves?

Jesus' death and resurrection invites us to exchange our old story for the new story that God has written for us, and the following chapters that He wants to write with us!

Jesus is still trying to 'come in' to the Church as the servant King on a donkey and deal with our religious habits and patterns. We have turned His Church into something it was never meant to be! On the first Palm Sunday, Jesus prophetically trampled over all of our best efforts to make ourselves right with God and keep his commandments, knowing that He would be the one to fulfil them all and make us right with God.

Religion says to perform, Faith says you belong!

Our God can do the impossible and so can we!
