Luke 19:10

For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.

Do you have labels you'd like to escape from? Think about this, Rahab was a prostitute. Her body used by men, unmarried, unloved and unappreciated. Then she met God. He redeemed her, she married a Godly man and became the great(5x) grandmother to...Jesus!

One more great week in the Who Are You? series at LifePoint Church.
God gives us two specific things to remind us of who we are in Christ.
1. A brand new name Abram and Sarai(sp) became Abraham and Sarah, parents.
Saul the murderer became Paul the giver of life saving news.
Simon the fisherman became Peter (the rock) and fisher of men.

2. He gives a new purpose. Seen in the story of Rahab and countless others in the bible. God is great at taking our biggest weakness and turning it into our biggest strength.

Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope"

In Christ we are overcomers! Revelation 12:11 ESV
"And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony"

Know who you are and who He created you to be...

  1. I love "hearing" your thoughts, Cynthi! It is such a privilege to be able to observe this journey to Brussels. I hope to have a chance to listen to the sermons from this series - solid truths that we all need to be reminded of over & over again!
