Many defining experiences leave lasting imprints on who we are. However, Pastor Greg Surratt reminds us that the ultimate identity of the church and our identity as Christians should be rooted in Christ and His kingdom. This identity is governed by the law of love, as Jesus commanded us to love one another. Seacoast Church has resisted being defined by theological, denominational, or political labels, striving to be known simply as followers of Christ. In a world where spiritual identity theft is a growing concern, we must guard our true identity in Christ by renewing our minds and engaging in a supportive Christian community. In this message, Pastor Greg encourages us to reflect on where our identity lies and take steps to align it with our faith, ensuring that our life is a testament to the kingdom of God.
