THIS WEEK’S video coming to you in THREE PARTS!!!! It’s so good, SO BIG, and wow… SO IMPORTANT!
Your Relationship with YOU!
The enemy tried to take us OUUUTTT for this one. But here we are, alive and well, one black eye and a whoolleeee lot of truth to bring you what we’ve got!
Now, MORE THAN EVER, the world, the enemy, the culture is trying to confuse, contradict and create who we are based on lies and made up words.
We have to know who we are in Christ and because of Christ to know who we are in this world. Because though we are in this world, we are not of this world. And to live as Christ, we will be left out, we will not fit in, we will not look like the world around us.
Your relationship with yourself cannot come from the world or anything of it. Your relationship with you comes from our relationship with Jesus.

I can, by Holy Spirit, be strengthened against this sin. 8:37 It’s not that it’s not hard, it is still a fight against our flesh, but you are not alone.
