We cannot embrace a new life if we are trying to hold onto our old life.
- We are called to embrace our God ordained purpose.
- God’s calling reshapes our identity.
- Purpose is discovered through surrender, not self-definition.
- We are called to a life of faith.
- Faith trusts God’s promises over visible circumstances.
- Obedience often comes before understanding.
- There’s is a cost to serving the Lord; there is a greater cost to not serving Him.
- Following Christ may involve loss or hardship.
- Rejecting Christ leads to spiritual emptiness and separation from God.
- Jesus alone is worthy.
- Christ alone deserves our full allegiance.
- True worship places Him above every competing priority.
It takes faith to trust what God says over what you see.
Insight

- God’s purpose cannot be fulfilled while clinging to former identities.
