Main Idea

The main idea of Pastor Brad's sermon was that our true identity is found in Christ, not in the false personas we create. He emphasized that the fake identity is self-serving, fragile in adversity, and performance-based, whereas our spiritual identity is Christ-centered, resilient, and rooted in grace. Pastor Brad urged us to let go of our fake selves and live out the new creation we become in Christ, which is a transformation that impacts every aspect of our lives.

Scripture References

2 Corinthians 5:17, Mark 1:16-20, Matthew 16:13-19, John 21:3, Romans 8:5, Galatians 6:9, James 1:2-4, 2 Corinthians 12:9-10, Ephesians 2:8-10

How has following Jesus changed the way you live your life?

When the enemy reminds you of your past, remind him of the greatest transaction in history: Christ's sacrifice for you.

In what ways have you struggled with a 'fake' identity, and how can you overcome it?

Discussion Questions:

How can we remind ourselves of our true identity in Christ when faced with challenges?

What does it mean to you that our identity in Christ is built on grace, not achievements?

How can embracing our Christian identity bring peace into our lives and the lives of others?

If the grace you've received isn't changing you, it's at risk of being wasted on you.

Summary

In 'UNFOLLOW THE FAKE YOU: LIVE IN YOUR NEW IDENTITY,' Pastor Brad Livingston encouraged us to embrace our true identity in Christ, rather than the false selves we often present. He reminded us that everything changes when we follow Jesus, as seen in the lives of the disciples who left their nets to follow Him. Pastor Brad highlighted the faults of our fake identity, which focuses on self-pleasure, retreats in hardship, and tries to earn approval. In contrast, our identity in Christ is about pleasing Him, leaning on His strength, and recognizing that we are saved by grace, not by works.
