The Path to Consistency

Pastor Devin Webb

March 9, 2025

Main Idea

The central theme of Pastor Devin's sermon was the importance of consistency in our Christian walk. He taught us that our true identity is found in being created in God's image and being His children, which is a gift received, not achieved. Our purpose is to be God's instruments and to proclaim His works, a calling that is higher than any earthly offense. Lastly, our assignment is to serve God's kingdom with responsibility, letting go of our need for control. By doing so, we reflect the unchanging nature of Christ in our lives.
