Identity Formation w/ Peter McHugh

November 9, 2024

Are you living from a place of belief or just managing your behaviour?

Journey with us as we dive into the heart of belief management and how it transforms your identity in Christ. This message challenges you to recognise and explore how deeply being chosen, holy, and loved by God can change your responses to life's pressures. Break free from behaviour-driven living and embrace the liberating power of grace through reflection with the Spirit.

Colossians 3:12-14

So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so must you do also. In addition to all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity.

Reflection Questions:

1. In what ways does your current identity shape how you handle daily challenges?

2. How can your belief of being 'chosen and beloved' shift your perspective on failure?

3. Are there areas in your life where you feel more sin-conscious than son-conscious? How can you change that?
