When God tells you who you are, it changes everything.In this opening message of our new series “He Is, So I Am,” Ps Nate unpacks how a fresh revelation of who God is unlocks your true identity and your kingdom purpose.Using the story of Peter’s name change from Simon to Peter, we explore why who says you are something matters just as much as what is said. The difference between John 1 and Matthew 16 isn’t what Jesus said to Peter – it’s what Peter had come to believe about Jesus. In the same way, what God says about you only transforms you to the depth that you truly know who He is.This message will help you:Understand why your view of God shapes your view of yourselfSee why identity in Christ is more than positive thinking – it’s rooted in revelationBreak free from distorted ideas of God as Father shaped by imperfect earthly fathersGrasp what it means to be a child of God, a royal son or daughter with kingdom authorityStep into your calling and kingdom purpose as God’s representative (His ambassador) on earthIf you’ve ever struggled to see God as a good Father, or to truly believe that what He says about you is real, this sermon is the start of a powerful journey.
