Summary

In a society where we're told to "live our truth," Scripture makes it clear that the only way to find our identity is to recognize who we are in Christ. This week, guest speaker Kylen Perry, Metro Venue Pastor in Houston, TX, walks us through Genesis 32:24-30 to show us how God will lead us out of hiding to get us to embrace our design.

Hey, it is, it's so good to see you. I hope that all is well. If this is your first time ever with us, thank you so much for trusting us with your Tuesday night. My name is Timothy Atique.

I'm on the teaching passers here at the porch as well as on Sunday mornings at Watermark, and I'm so glad you made it. I want to give a big shout out to all of our porch live locations that are joining us tonight in different parts of the nation. Hope all as well with you, and I'm so glad that you were worshiping with us tonight is it's a sweet moment for me because I got to introduce you to one of my very close friends and you're going to have the opportunity to hear from him tonight.

My good friend, Kylin Perry, is here to communicate the word of God, and he's here from Houston, Texas, if there's any Houston people here. What you need to know about Kylin is that he went to Texas A&M University, which is kind of important.

1:18.0

But the way Kylin and I know each other is that we served together a breakaway ministries for over three years, and what I really loved about Kylin is that he gave his 20s to Jesus, and now as he steps into his 30s, he nothing has changed.

1:40.0

And so when I think about young adults in my world that are leveraging their lives for the sake of the gospel, Kylin is the one that comes to mind.

1:52.0

And what I love about Kylin is that now he is the director of Houston Metro, which is a Bible study that meets on Tuesday nights.

2:05.0

So just like we're gathering here tonight, there's a group of young adults meeting at Houston's first Baptist church in Houston right now, and they are lifting up the name of Jesus together.

2:16.0

And I'm so glad that Kylin is here to do that with us tonight. So in just a moment, he's going to come up before he does. I just want to pray.

2:25.0

And I want to give you an opportunity to prepare your heart to hear the word of God taught. And so would you just take a second and pray for yourself and just say, God, would you speak to me tonight?

2:38.0

And then would you take a second and pray for Kylin and just say, God, would you speak mightily through Kylin tonight?

3:07.0

Lord Jesus, you know how much I enjoy hearing Kylin teach the word of God. And I think he is just one of the most gifted, authentic communicators of truth. And I'm so glad that these friends get to hear him tonight.

3:24.0

But more than anything, more than they get to hear from Kylin, I pray that they would just hear from you that you would speak through Kylin to your people.

3:33.0

Would you use him for your glory? But would you speak directly to our hearts? Maybe we hear from you. We thank you that you've given us your word so that we might hear from you.

3:45.0

We love you in Jesus name. Amen. Would you guys welcome Kylin Perry?

4:11.0

And I'm not just saying that because I need to make alliances with y'all real fast in order for you to like me.

4:16.0

I'm saying that because I have a lot of love for the city because the city has meant so much to me.

4:21.0

First and foremost, my wife is from Dallas and I get to carry a piece of this town with me 24-7.

4:27.0

So I love the chance to know that. And then I have a lot of love for Dallas because the ministry that I lead is from here.

4:34.0

Like we are in Houston and yet we were a porch live location. And then as we just started to see God doing something really unique in our city.
