We Fight-- Saturday, December 10th @ 8:00 AM

As men, each of us have a number of titles/roles, “husband”, “employee”, “dad”, “supervisor”, “student”… By far, the most important title we have, and the one that most accurately defines our identity as followers of Jesus is “son.” Romans 8:14 declares, “All those led by God’s Spirit are God’s sons.”

Consider this question, “, “Do you picture God as disappointed? Angry? Indifferent? Does His face say, “Get your act together!” or “If only you could do a little more for me? If you imagined God as anything but overjoyed with you, you have fallen into a performance mindset. Because the gospel truth is: In Christ, God is deeply satisfied with you.” (whm.org/gcl)

Not so sure? Check out Colossians 1:22, “But now He has reconciled you by His physical body through His death, to present you holy, faultless, and blameless before Him.” Before God, and in Christ, you ARE holy, faultless, and blameless before Him.

If we’re going to fight for our holiness, our families and our church it is imperative that we be clear on our identity. This Saturday, December 10th at 8:00 AM we’ll take a closer look at our identity as sons of God through Christ. We're studying lesson two of Gospel-Centered Life: Shrinking the Cross. To review the first lesson watch this message based on the first lesson of GCL from City Church.
