Judges 7:1–7

In life we have identities spoken over us often. There is only one Person, however, who has the right to declare our identity. That Person is the one and only God Most High and He calls us beloved, clean, righteous, empowered, and blessing. As we begin to take hold of the identity that God speaks over us we begin to live into that identity and it transforms the way we live and the confidence we have. As we begin to see others the way God sees them it transforms the way we love.

Judges 6:1–35

What does it mean to be adopted into God's family? How does it impact the way we treat others to see them as a part of that family? To see all people as desired by God, worthy of adoption? We often believe things about ourselves based on the messages we receive from a fallen world. These messages, regardless of their intentions, fall short of the identity that God has spoken and is speaking over us. It's only when we receive identity and calling from Him that we can live into the full potential of our lives to see His Kingdom come and His will be done.

Exodus 1, Exodus 3

Pastor Cami takes us through the life of Moses as we ask what it means to be known by God. Where is our identity derived? Is it in what we've done? Our profession? Where we've been? Our likes and dislikes? or is it rooted in I AM? As we get to know our God, our identity as His son or daughter comes into focus because the frame isn't our own, but who He is.

Genesis 1:26–28

Pastor Ryan begins a new series that not only explores our identities as followers of Jesus and Brothers and Sisters in Christ, but the identities of all persons as Image Bearers of God.

Acts 27:13–41

What does it look like for you to represent Jesus to people in the storm? What does it mean to be a Person of Peace? Paul gave us an example of a follower of Jesus bringing the peace and encouragement of his Savior to people who didn't know the Lord. This was only possible because of his immense trust in God. Where does your trust lie today, and how can you reflect trust in God as you endure storms in your life with others.

Matt 14:22-33

Why do we doubt? What are the things that distract us from the presence of Jesus. Sometimes the storms of life don't stop when we call out to God. It's in those moments that we have Jesus, with us in the storm, walking on the waves and beckoning us to do as He does.

Mark 4:35-41

When the seas of life toss and churn, who is with you in the boat? Do you have the Presence and Promise of Jesus Christ? If you do, know that He is able to do more and greater than you can possibly imagine. And furthermore, don't just know it, but believe it as we open a new series looking at stories of how Jesus is With Me In The Storm.

Psalms 23:6

We live as exiles on earth because our citizenry is in Heaven. The promise is this: I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever. Forever basking in the joy, splendor, and magnificence of God. Forever worshiping. Forever receiving and giving love. As followers of Jesus we, like David who wrote those words so long ago, will dwell in the House of the Lord forever. That is our promise and the reality into which we live.

Psalms 23:5-6

As we continue our series through the 23rd Psalm we see David celebrating the presence of the Lord and the way He seeks to do only good, always. He prepares a full spread before us and welcomes us to enjoy His heavenly presence and grace. Step up to the table and enjoy your Heavenly Father.

Psalms 23:3-4

As the Good Shepherd, Jesus leads us in the path of righteousness that leads to restoration. There are ways that seem right to us, but those, apart from the guidance of the Lord, lead to ruin. Even when we follow the wrong ways though, part of the goodness of God is that He provides a path back and He journeys with us on the road. He is always there to guide and guard our way as we follow Him.
