Sunday Reflections - March 10, 2016

WHO ARE YOU  vs. WHO YOU ARE

Hello Deer Flat Family!      

Across my years I have encountered so many people and, as you would expect, so many different conversations. One of the most common topics is this very issue – “Who am I?”  So many times our identity is connected to who we are trying to be, who we think we might be, who our culture tells us we are, and perhaps even who our parents want us to be.

If our identity is wrapped up in our talents, skills and abilities, and that’s how we define ourselves, once any of those are lost or dropped, it creates confusion and takes us back to square one. Achievements, talents and purpose are all good. But with or without them, our identity is bigger than our purpose, mission and achievements. Because we already have infinite value and worth.

It is God and His Word that really defines who we are. It’s God who declares our worth and value. He says that, “one soul/person is worth more than all the world.” Wow, that’s an amazing statement. And, it’s true!

I’m inviting you to join me over the next couple of weeks to discover our true identity in Christ. We’ll have a chance to really see who God says you and I are. Because so many don’t know who they are as Followers of Christ, we live way below our privileges and capabilities. I can promise you, we’re going to have a meaningful time as we consult the Bible for clarification on perhaps the biggest issue of our lives. I can’t wait to see you this Sunday!

By the way… don’t forget:
1. Time Change – spring an hour forward this Sunday morning
2.  Men’s Breakfast this Saturday at 8 am at Deer Flat - no charge
3. Woodlawn Movie this Saturday at 6 pm at Deer Flat - free family event

Loving You and Him,

Pastor D
