Summary

Many of us are tempted to find our identity in our profession, family name, or net worth. From these wells, we often draw a false sense of security or confidence.

Beginning with the example of the apostle Peter himself, this series will encourage your heart with the foundation, privilege, and responsibility of a life transformed by Christ.
