This Week #3-12

This week in OFF ROAD we looked at the application side of finding our identity in Christ. As you know, Last week we talked about the importance of finding our identity in God and now we discussed the steps we can take to make that happen. In the talk I laid out 3 specific steps that twill significantly help in finding a solid foundation in God. #1) Surround yourself with Godly people that lift you up in Christ. This doesn’t mean we aren’t friends with non-believers, but that our core group of friends, the ones we find our identity in, should be those who encourage us towards Christ. (1 Corinthians 15:32-33= Bad company corrupts good character). #2 We must read the bible for our identity. The world is going to tell you a million things you aren’t, but the truth is written in the bible. You want to know how important you are? Read Psalm 139, John 15:18-27 or Ephesians 2:10. #3 Go to God with your struggles. In your times of really struggling with your identity or what others are saying about you, take it to God and let Him comfort you. Psalm 23 is a good reminder that no matter how hard it gets God is there. We should be bringing ourselves to Him more often, and therefore finding our identity in HIM!!!
