Take this message with you through a journey of Scripture, reflection, and prayer.
Summary
Themes
Key Points
- 1.The kingdom of God is voice activated, and speaking declarations out loud interrupts ruminating thought patterns and breaks cycles of doubt or depression.
- 2.A simple illustration demonstrates how spoken words interrupt thought life: you cannot count to 10 silently while simultaneously speaking your name out loud.
- 3.God places progress before believers as a choice rather than forcing it upon them, inviting us to choose life and move forward by faith.
- 4.In Christ, believers receive a completely brand new identity rather than an updated version of their past, just as getting a new passport requires taking a whole new picture.
- 5.Past sins, mistakes, and habits do not dictate a believer's true identity, and believers must disattach from any label that does not line up with God's word.
- 6.As God's chosen people, royal priesthood, and holy nation, believers are called out of secret darkness into God's light, where identity is formed in truth rather than secret shame.
- 7.Adoption into God's family replaces a spirit of fear and slavery with the Spirit of adoption, enabling believers to reflect their Heavenly Father's character like children reflecting their earthly father.
- 8.Sharing in Christ's glory also means sharing in His suffering, which means believers are built to endure hardship with confidence because valleys become platforms for God's glory.
Sermon Moments
“The kingdom of God is voice activated.”
“When you actually said your name out of your mouth, it interrupted the thoughts that were happening in your head.”
“The thing about a new ID is they don't use an old picture for a new ID... The old doesn't work anymore, but the new is the thing that I will be defined by.”
“God decides to give us choice in the matter because He wants us to love Him. And it cannot be love if there is no choice.”
“You may have done it, but you are not it.”
“The reason why so many people struggle with identity is because your identity was given to you in the dark... Today we turn the light on.”
“There is no way that any Todd boy can deny our father... A big piece of Him showed up in all of us. So our identity's foundation was not our own.”
“Part of our identity is that we can go through hard things... The valleys actually become the platforms that God uses to give Himself more glory.”
