SERMON SERIES: IDENTITY THEFT! - Reg Cox
Someone stole my passion for truth!
Philippians 4:8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things.
Who am I? I don’t know anymore. I can remember being excited to find out what God wanted for my life. I used to surround myself with faith friends who spoke the truth and called me to be who I was made to be. I want my true identity as a lover of the truth to recapture my life, heart and desires!
