1: No matter your story. 2: No matter your background. 3: No matter where you are in your faith journey. 4: There’s a place for you in this community.

Slide 1: If everything was stripped away… Who would you still be? Slide 2: You are not your job title. Not your platform. Not your achievements. Not even the role you serve in at church. Slide 3: You are not your past mistakes. Not the opinions people formed about you. Not the labels placed on your life. Slide 4: Your identity begins with this: You are His son. You are His daughter. Before you ever did anything for God, you were already loved by Him. Slide 5: Temporary things will always change, but your identity in Christ never will.

Present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed. - 2 Timothy 2:15
