Series Information

Our identity in Jesus Christ is paramount. Rather than trying to be "good enough" on our own, we find our purpose and meaning as individuals saved through the work of Jesus Christ and created in the Image of God, or Imago Dei. How might the Lord minister to you and through you to live out your purpose for Him?
