Messages on Identity
How to Know Yourself
How do you know yourself? It’s a question that has many different answers, but perhaps it begins with knowing who you are in Christ: a child of divine love. Listen as Pastor Brent guides us in exploring both false and true identities, ultimately helping us know ourselves more deeply so we can know God more deeply.
Honest to God
To know God, we also have to know ourselves.

In Galatians, Paul encourages the Jewish community to remove the ethnic, racial, economic, and gender barriers they’ve placed on others in order to see God and His people in a more realistic way.

From Orphan to Child
Introduction Good morning. I am so glad you are here today. Over the last couple of weeks, we have been in a series we called Transformed. This series is built on the idea that when people encounter God, when we say yes to Jesus and begin the faith journey of following him, radical changes occur in our lives. The first week, we looked at how one of the first things that happen when we put our faith in Jesus is…
