This is it! The last week in the 8-week series where we embrace who God says we are. Join us on our live stream Sunday at 11 a.m.

We were
1. Created by God
2. Broken by Sin
3. Transformed by the Gospel

Then we looked at:
4. Who We Are in Christ
5. What We Have in Christ
and how we go about
6. Living out Our Identity.

With that knowledge, we can see ourselves
7. Walking in the Spirit
and finally, taking it all into action by
8. Walking on Mission.

Week 7 out of 8 proves to be one of the more encouraging messages of the series. As we are living out our identity, we come across the promises and hope of the Spirit. As we walk in the Spirit, we can celebrate our identity even more deeply.

As we continue on with the second half of the series entitled "Defined: Who God Says We Are," we learn more and more about how important our identity is in Him. We know how we're created, what transforms us (let alone why we needed to be transformed). We've discovered or rediscovered who we are in Christ and what we have in Him. Now, let's live out our identity in fresh new ways.

We have surpassed the halfway mark in this series. Do you have a little deeper foundation through the book of Ephesians about Who God Says we are? We have much in Christ!

We are created. We are broken by sin. We are transformed by the Gospel. But who are we in Christ?

How are we defined? Created by God, Broken by Sin, and, now, Transformed by the Gospel!

Week 2 of Defined Series. What does it mean to be broken by Sin? What does it mean to be a stranger to God? Well, there's good news. In Christ, we don't have to know that feeling any longer.

What does it mean to be God's handiwork? Paul tells us in Ephesians: "For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." That's one way God defines us.

We live our lives based on who we say we are, who others say we are, or who we want to be. However, God may have a different idea altogether. Identity is a big deal. It matters!

Throughout Scripture and our own lives, God connects people together. In these connections, a new purpose is realized--one that would not have been possible if God didn't allow for it to happen. What are these divine connections and what can we learn from them?
