Identity in Jesus
In this week's sermon, Pastor Tommy Hutchison discusses a story from Luke 2 about 12-year-old Jesus being accidentally left behind in Jerusalem by Mary and Joseph after Passover. After searching for three days, they find Jesus in the temple discussing scripture with religious teachers who were amazed by His understanding. When questioned by His worried parents, Jesus responded that "I must be in my father's house," demonstrating that even as a pre-teen, He knew His true identity was rooted in God the Father. Pastor Tommy uses this story to explore how Christians should similarly find their identity in God rather than in worldly things, explaining that humans were originally created to be "God's skyscrapers"—designed to display His glory to the world. The sermon concludes with three practical ways to develop this identity: spending time with God in prayer, being obedient to God's commands, and studying scripture.
