Summary

To know our true identity, we need the authority of the Word of God. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson offers a biblical perspective on identity and discusses the confusion that comes when we allow our identity to shift because of the people, culture, and pressures around us. As propaganda and manipulative language surround us, it's increasingly important to immerse ourselves in God's Truth, push back on wickedness, and be strong and courageous as we share truth wherever God takes us. Pastor Allen shows us what this looks like by examining how Peter and John boldly delivered truth to the people around them—even when it was difficult.

1:09.2	I want to begin a new series under the theme of clarify your identity. Lots of words these days
1:16.7	about how you identify. Things I didn't even know you got to choose. I mean just almost a limitless series of
1:27.8	discussions and people get offended all over the spectrum around this and the
1:31.7	church kind of seems addled and we don't know what to say and if we
1:35.4	say something we're not sure it's right and what's the appropriate response so I
1:39.6	want to take a I don't know a bit and talk with you three or four sessions anyway a bit about how we can clarify our identity
1:46.3	how you understand who you understand yourself to be makes a tremendous difference
