This message is the second in our Masterpiece series, titled 'God's Masterpiece: What it Means to be "In Christ."' Pastor Tyler dives deeper into the idea that our true identity is found in Jesus. In today’s culture, people often search for identity in what they do, what they have, or what they desire. However, these pursuits can leave us feeling lost and struggling. Drawing on Paul's words from 2 Corinthians, this message reminds us that searching for identity "according to the flesh" won't satisfy. Instead, it is when we root our identity in Jesus that we find freedom, purpose, and the love that defines us.

Questions for Reflection:

• Do you feel you most commonly see people (or yourself) trying to build an identity on do's, haves, or desires? What helps you see that in yourself or others?

• Have you ever had enough faith to open your heart to receive God's love for you and to begin to be "in Christ"? What's stopping you?
