Believe the Truth

As I shared in my sermon on Feb. 17th, Michelle Anaya leads Bible memory on Wednesday nights.  She does a great job helping kids memorize Scripture in fun and creative ways.  One of the things she starts with for the younger kids is the question, "why do we memorize Scripture?"  It has several answers, but the one I want to focus on is this answer: "if we don't know the truth, then we will believe the lie."

I challenged the congregation to know the truth about who God is and their identity in Christ from Scripture, not from what others say, what the world says, how they feel, or what their circumstances seem to say.  How are you today?  Are you believing God's Word or something else?

As a believer, this is who you are today from Ephesians 1:
  • Chosen
  • Blameless
  • Forgiven
  • Redeemed
  • Loved
  • Adopted
  • Blessed
  • Holy
  • Saint
  • Sealed by the Holy Spirit
