Trailblazers – Walking the Path of Commitment
In our Trailblazers series, we’re exploring what it means to go “all in” for Jesus and His mission. Just like trailblazers forge paths for others, we’re called to commit fully to following Christ, serving others, and building His Kingdom. This series serves as the foundation for our membership class, and we’d love for all our regular attenders to join us each week as we take this important journey together. Let’s walk the path of faith, purpose, and commitment as a church family!
Day 2: Embracing Our New Identity in Christ
Onesimus’s journey from a runaway slave to a brother in Christ illustrates the profound change that occurs when we embrace our identity in Christ. His story shows that our past does not define our future, and in Christ, we find a new identity and purpose. Onesimus, whose name means “useful,” became truly useful in God’s kingdom, demonstrating that God can repurpose our lives for His glory. This encourages us to embrace our identity in Christ and live out our calling, knowing that we are valued and have a purpose in His kingdom.
2 Corinthians 5:17 (ESV): “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.”
Reflection: What aspects of your past do you struggle to let go of? How can you embrace your new identity in Christ and live out your purpose today?
