TFPC EM NEWSLETTER - MARCH 9, 2022
Wednesday, March 9, 2022 at 9:10AM Remembering Our Identity in Christ
Today is March 9, 2022
Welcome to your mid-week!
This past Sunday Pastor Tim preached on Ephesians chapter 4 and talked about remembering our identity in Christ.
And, to me, our identity in Christ means a life filled with God our father.
It means a life filled with a large and loving family that we call the church.
It means a life being lived with the understanding that we are citizens of another kingdom - one not in a pandemic or at war or filled with suffering and death.
Now, our identity in Christ means more than just reaping the rewards of that identity. It also means that we are striving to being the same as Christ. That our new identity should be recognizable to both ourselves and to others. That our identity is evident - whether we really are 'in Christ' or 'in the world.'
However, the joys of that identity are what gives us hope. It is what gives us the strength to not give up and to take steps forward.
And, in trying times like these, that is the identity we need to remember.
God's blessing upon you as you remember and meditate on what it means to be 'in Christ,' and I look forward to worshipping with you this Sunday.
