We're LIVE!

A Transformed Identity

October 15, 2024

f you were to ask someone to share about themself, what would they share? Most would speak of their job or their achievements. Some would talk about their family, marital status, or where they grew up.

Someone’s identity is more than a list of interests, achievements, or family dynamics.

2 Corinthians 5:17 says, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.”

Our identity is no longer what we do for a living or our family background. As new creations, our identity in Christ is sons and daughters of the Lord, accepted, secured and significant.

We no longer live for our identity. We live from our identity.

As group leaders, we have an opportunity to shepherd those we lead in understanding their identity in Christ.

One helpful resource on the Highpoint Church Lead page presents scripture references and a prayer to help your group members understand who they truly are in Christ. Leading the group through the “Identity in Christ” tool will not only point them to the Bible but also prompt important discussions about the Christian life.

As we shepherd our Growth Groups this week, let’s encourage our group members to embrace their identity in Christ and walk in the freedom that identity provides.
