#nofilter :: Start Living Your Identity in Christ - Start by Losing
Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - Mark 8:34-35 (2 Thessalonians 2:3; 1 Corinthians 14:33; 2 Corinthians 2:11; Mark 8:34-35; Romans 12:2; James 1:8; Psalms 119:165; 139:14)
Who is the real you?
In our culture today, we struggle to know our true identity. We live in a society that deals with insecurities and identity confusion that has led us to all sorts of struggles.
We have an image that we present to others of how we want to be perceived. This is usually a facade or filter that we present to others, but it is not the real you. Just like in social media when we add a filter to our picture, we are not presenting the real us. We may also focus our identity on our job titles, marital status, our role as a parent, our acceptance on social media, our even our financial status.
What if these things changed or are stripped away? Who are you without these titles, relationships, or positions? What if we got real and removed the “filters” we hide behind in our lives?
The Bible explains to us who we truly are in Him. When we discover these truths, we can live out our lives with assurance, confidence and passion!
Mark 8:34-35
