It’s easy to let our past, our circumstances, or the voices around us tell us who we are. But Jesus offers something better: a new identity rooted in what He has already made true of us, so we can stop living from the outside in and begin living from the inside out.

H.B. Charles Jr. preaches on "Connected in Christ" from Galatians 3:26-29 at the Shiloh Metropolitan Baptist Church in Jacksonville, Florida. 

Title: "Connected in Christ" 

Text: Galatians 3:26-29 

Outline: 

1. We are all sons of God (3:26). 
2. We are all baptized into Christ (3:27). 
3. We are all one in Christ (3:28). 
4. We are all Abraham's Offspring (3:29).

A legacy is inherently something that reaches far beyond us, making an impact long after we’re gone. So how do we approach the stewardship of our money in a way that leaves a lasting legacy? In this message from Luke 16, Pastor J.D. takes us through one of Jesus’ parables to show us how leveraging our resources for eternity truly is the wisest course of action. If we believe that everything ultimately belongs to God, this will radically change the way in which we handle our finances.

We’ve all done it--minimizing or numbing our emotions after a painful experience. Today’s guest Willow Weston invites us to consider asking this question instead: What if the pain I’m trying to avoid is actually pointing me toward the healing God wants to bring?  

Willow and I share honestly talk about how unprocessed pain can come out sideways through anxiety, anger, relationship struggles, avoidance, and other patterns, and what it looks like to finally name what you're carrying and invite God into those tender places.

Remember back to your school years. You’re in class, paying attention to the teacher, but the cut-up in the front row, the class clown, starts to...perform. He’s miming what the teacher is saying. You try not to look, but you can’t help yourself. Distractions are powerful, aren’t they? And they’re everywhere. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out the importance of keeping our eyes fixed on the Author and Finisher of our faith, Jesus Christ. It’s the pathway of a life well-lived.
