Finding Your True Self: Pastor Tony Chick on Identity in Christ

As followers of Jesus, to know who we are and where we stand in this world... to preach to us about these words I just read, and that's a long passage of scripture and we're not going to focus on all of it, but we're going to focus on the identity promises that god has given us in his word.
Ever felt lost or unsure about who you really are? In this heartfelt episode of Benchmark Church's podcast, Lead Pastor Tony Chick tackles the big question of identity, but with a twist – it's all about discovering your true self in Christ. Pastor Tony starts with a powerful scripture that reminds us of the fullness we have in Christ, who reigns over all powers and authorities.
He dives into the idea that as followers of Jesus, knowing who we are is crucial. This isn't just about titles or roles; it's about understanding that we're adopted children of Christ and joint heirs with Him. One of the standout points in this episode is the importance of living a life filled with the Holy Spirit. Pastor Tony paints a vivid picture of what it means to walk with God, see through His eyes, and minister with His power.
It's not just a spiritual checklist but a call to live with gratitude and obedience. The episode also redefines our understanding of the kingdom of heaven. Pastor Tony challenges the notion that it's a far-off place we go to after death. Instead, he brings it down to earth, showing how living in the kingdom means embracing love, humility, and blessings right here and now. Throughout the episode, Pastor Tony shares personal stories that add depth and authenticity to his message.
He opens up about his own battles with addiction and how those experiences fuel his passion for ministering to others facing similar struggles. He also touches on the sacrifices and challenges that come with adoption, making his message relatable to anyone who's faced tough choices. This episode is more than just inspiring; it's a call to action. Pastor Tony urges listeners to discover their identity in Christ, live a spirit-filled life, and trust in God's promises.
