The Well

Leann Murphy wanted to share the truth about marriage with her adult children. This wisdom became her 21-day devotionals – Becoming a Wife and Becoming a Husband. Leann shares how to “fight well,” build routines that draw you closer to Jesus, and walk through bitterness and resentment. You’ll be encouraged to contend for your marriage like never before.

We know Jesus is coming back. We don’t know when. The Bible even tells us that none of us knows the day or the hour. But it also advises us to be ready. It’ll come suddenly and could happen when we least expect it. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie welcomes Bible scholar Don Stewart for a revealing discussion of what the Bible says about God’s End Times plan. Although we don’t know the day or the hour of the Rapture, there’s so much we do know. And we’ll talk about that today.

Being comfortable with who God made you to be, for most of us, is a lifelong pursuit, filled with anxiety and fear. Chip helps you begin to discover how to come to grips with the real YOU.

Three questions we all ask ourselves:

1. Who am I? (Identity)
2. Where do I belong? (Security)
3. What am I supposed to do? (Significance)

Why is it so hard to answer these questions?

• Genesis 3:8-13

Three obstacles to getting right answers:

1. Fear rooted in SHAME.
2. Hiding rooted in INSECURITY.
3. Blaming rooted in denial.

God’s Answers: Romans 12:3-8

1. Who are you? -Romans 12:3
   • The Command: Think ACCURATELY about yourself.
2. Where do you belong? -Romans 12:4-5
   • The Reason: You have a ROLE to fill.
3. What are you supposed to do? -Romans 12:6-8
   • The Practice: Discover and DEPLOY your spiritual gift.

Never forget who you really are!

1. God uniquely created you – you are ETERNALLY VALUABLE. -Psalm139:13-14
2. God placed you in His family – you are UNCONDITIONALLY ACCEPTED. -Ephesians 3:19-22
3. God gifted you to fulfill His purpose – you are IRREPLACEABLY SIGNIFICANT. -Ephesians 2:10
