Have you ever wondered how to recognize the true identity God has written into your life?
In this message, Marc Fey continues with Part 2 of Grounded in True Identity. Last week he showed how being rooted in Christ changes our relationship with sin, gives us clues to who God has made us to be, and frees us from the trap of comparison. This week builds on that foundation by asking the practical question: how do you actually discern and embrace your true identity? Through Scripture, the experiences of your life, and the Spirit’s voice, Marc shows how God reveals the masterpiece He is shaping in each of us.
This message is part of the Grounded series, reminding us that our roots go deep in Christ so that our lives can bear fruit that points others to Him. If you missed the live service or want to reflect further, you can watch the full message above anytime after. We’ve also included discussion questions to dig deeper into the message. Whether you watch this on your own or share it with your small group, we hope this message encourages you.
