This sermon teaches that answering Jesus's question, "Who do you say that I am?" with the truth of his identity as the Christ of God is the foundation for a transformed life. The message explains that a true confession of faith leads to a new priority to follow Jesus above all else, a new identity found in losing one's life for his sake, and a new vitality that comes from understanding his sacrificial love on the cross.

This sermon teaches that the resurrection of Jesus Christ is the central event of the Christian faith, providing believers with a new identity, a "living hope," and an imperishable inheritance. This profound truth calls us out of a search for meaning in worldly things and into God's grand redemptive story, empowering us to live a transformed life of generosity and forgiveness.

This sermon asserts that genuine conversion is a necessary and transformative process that moves individuals from spiritual blindness to sight through the conviction of the Holy Spirit. By engaging with the historical evidence of Christ and accepting the gospel's message—that we are both sinful and profoundly loved—we can receive a new identity and a relationship with God.

This sermon teaches that ordinary believers, like Peter and John, can be "shook" by God to boldly impact their culture by relying on three divine gifts: a new identity in Christ, a supernatural perspective on circumstances, and the power of the Holy Spirit. It challenges Christians to move beyond self-sufficiency by embracing the strength found in God and the support of the church community.

This sermon teaches that Jesus's coming, while offering peace and salvation, also creates conflict with worldly powers, demanding allegiance from His followers who will face persecution. Despite these challenges, believers can find peace in their secure identity in Christ, trusting that God uses unexpected circumstances, even opposition, to bring about redemption.

This sermon, based on Ephesians 2, argues that the gospel forges a deep, multicultural oneness among believers by creating a new, supernatural community in Christ. This unity is achieved by tearing down the "dividing wall of hostility" that separates people, ultimately forming a new race whose primary identity is rooted in their shared dependence on Jesus's sacrifice and their common citizenship in God's kingdom.

This sermon emphasizies that a secure identity is found not in worldly achievements but in a relationship with Jesus, who transforms our past and secures our future. The message encourages the congregation to find their purpose by remaining faithful to God's calling and continuing His mission of spreading the gospel.

This sermon highlights the transformative power of God's Word, arguing that it is essential for revival and spiritual nourishment, and that its authority should not be undermined. The message emphasizes that Scripture reveals our true identity, fosters a passionate desire for God, and ultimately points to Jesus Christ as the perfect fulfillment of God's law.

This sermon defines hypocrisy as a destructive, actor-like duality between one's inner self and outward actions, which is primarily rooted in image management and the deception of the heart. The solution, it argues, is to humbly admit one's own sinfulness while simultaneously accepting the complete forgiveness and acceptance offered by Jesus, which frees a person to live with integrity and vulnerability.
