The modern understanding of self has become highly psychologized. No one else can tell you who you truly are and what you should do. As long as you don’t limit anyone else’s freedom, you ought to have complete freedom to do, say, feel, and be what you want. What we see happening though in a world that holds these views on discovering your authentic self, is that many seem to be struggling to find a sense of identity. Part of the problem is that a sense of identity is often constructed by the self, instead of given by the Creator, and therefore fragile and incomplete. In this message, we'll discover together how our sense of identity should be based in the fact that we are created in the image of God. We'll also consider how that identity was lost through sin and is restored through Jesus.
