Current sermon series | Identity Check

100 points… proof of identity. It matters that the picture matches the reality. As followers of the risen Jesus, our lives are to match the new reality of death’s defeat and Christ’s victory in us. 

Does yours? Are you who you say you are? Could you be identified as a follower of Jesus? Do your daily choices show that his way is your way? 

Join us as we get a much needed IDENTITY CHECK, where we learn to follow Jesus, led by the Spirit into his likeness, so that the world around us can experience his new life for itself.

Today's verse & thought to ponder ...

APR

MARK 2:4-5

Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”
