Show notes

The way we were raised, the things we were told and the people that surrounded us; they all play a huge role in shaping the person that we become.
Today we look at the importance of what we learn as we grow, the need for us to be confident to question what we may have been told and how we can learn to walk with God as we move forward.

So many things can happen in our lives that leave a scar. These can be incredibly painful times to go through and it can often be difficult to see where God was in the process.
If we can cling on to God through these times then the scars that we bare become a reminder that we survived, that we came through it and that God was with us.

When we make mistakes or get caught up in negative habits, we can find that we get wrapped up in things that hinder our us and restrict our ability to move forward or grow.
If we can invite God into this stuff, as difficult as it may be to process, we can find hope that life doesn't have to be this way and experience freedom.

Our second layer of Identity is based around the things that we are passionate about and skilled in. People will quickly notice these elements of our identity and that will ultimately lead to opportunities to develop connections and relationships.
The challenge with passion and skills is that they can easily become the most important thing to us and, as a result, we can sometimes close God out of this layer. Today we look at how important it is to get God into the right place and allow him to shape, influence and enhance this area of our identity.

The first thing that people see about us are our preferences. Our likes, dislikes, tastes and styles are what we present in that first contact with people.
We can often find ourselves playing down the value of these elements and falling into the trap of comparing what we have and who we are with what we see in the lives of others.
Today we take a look at the those challenges, the importance of diversity and the need to welcome God to be present and influence these elements.

'Discipleship is becoming who Jesus would be, if He was you' - this is a statement that we focus on in the Living Room, but in order to work towards that, we need to understand who we are.
Today marks the beginning of our re-worked series on identity. helping us see all of the layers that contribute to the person that we are. The overall aim is to understand ourselves better and to allow God the opportunity to shape each of those elements that make up who we are.

Show notes

The idea of being welcoming to all is pretty common practice in most churches. That's the way it should be, all should be welcomed in and loved. We need to acknowledge that there is a huge difference between welcome and acceptance. If we really want to emulate Jesus and be love to all that we meet then we have to make sure all people feel accepted.
That's what we're talking about today.
