In our current Sermon Series Out of the Shadows, we are stepping out of old mindsets, false identities, and worldly lenses—and into the light of who we truly are in Christ.

This week, Tabitha unpacks Jesus’ question to His disciples: “Who do you say I am?” When Peter declares, “You are the Christ,” it becomes a powerful teaching moment about identity, humility, and the authority given to those who walk in dependence on God.
We explore the tension between our old nature and our new identity in Christ, how pride isolates but humility connects, and how kingdom revelation leads to responsibility. The “keys of the kingdom” are entrusted to humble hearts, not the self-assured.

KEY THEMES: 🗝 Identity is received, not achieved 🗝 Humility leads to blessing and authority, 🗝 Beware of pride that shifts our focus to man’s interests over God’s

HOMEWORK:
Read: Isaiah 22, Psalm 18, 1 Corinthians 10, Matthew 5 (Beatitudes)

Reflection Questions: Father God, in the last 24 hours…..
1. Did I avoid something I should’ve done?
2. Did I misrepresent God  in my personal conduct?
3. Did I walk in honesty with God and others and myself?
4.  Did I lean on your understanding or did I lean on mine?
