When you think of “sinners” who might be excluded from God’s kingdom, does anyone come to mind? If so, you may be entering dangerous territory. The Pharisees were certain of their own seat at God’s table, convinced that the tax collectors and prostitutes had no such place. But Jesus came precisely for the people the religious crowd wrote off. He welcomes the broken, the fallen, the forgotten with open arms the moment they repent and turn to Him. God’s grace reaches farther than our judgments, and we may be surprised by those who are on heaven’s guest list!

Identity
Imagine waking up tomorrow and not remembering who you are, and then having to live that way for the next 20 or 30 years. What an awful existence that would be! But the truth is, many Christians live with a similar condition. They’ve never been told who they are in Christ, and so they live their entire Christian life without ever knowing their true identity as a child of God; unsure of why they even exist at all. In this series, we will expose the lies Satan uses to keep us trapped in that prison, and we will discover the truth of what the Bible says about who we really are in Christ.
