The Identity Culture War

This sermon explores the importance of rooting one's identity in God's truth rather than cultural definitions or personal achievements. Pastor James emphasizes that a biblical worldview sees all aspects of life through the unchanging truth of God's Word. He contrasts this with a Christian worldview, which can be shaped by tradition or culture. The sermon encourages believers to reject counterfeit identities, root themselves in Scripture, and remember their worth as defined by God.

Key Points:

Everyone has a worldview, but a biblical worldview is based on God's Word, not cultural norms

Our identity is not self-made, but God-given

We must reject counterfeit identities and root our identity in Scripture

Renewing our mind is crucial for maintaining a biblical worldview

Remember your worth is fixed in the finished work of Jesus, not others' opinions

God defines our worth, gender, and calling
