10/26/25: Rooted In The Rock

In this powerful message, we confront one of the deepest struggles of our generation — the identity crisis that leaves so many chasing temporary validation instead of resting in their eternal worth. 💭

What happens when your wealth, health, or reputation are stripped away — who are you then? This sermon dives deep into the traps of worldly identity: the pursuit of material possessions that never satisfy, the corporate ladder that leads nowhere, the social media validation that leaves us empty, and the obsession with appearances that inevitably fade.

Drawing from 1 Samuel 16:7, we’re reminded that “Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” Through real-life stories and eye-opening statistics, we see how culture has elevated money above family, faith, and truth — but God calls us back to something greater.

When we accept Christ, we’re no longer defined by what we do, own, or achieve. We’re new creations, children of God, and citizens of heaven. 🙌

🔥 Key Takeaways:

Your true identity is found in Christ, not in culture.

Loss doesn’t destroy you, success doesn’t inflate you, and failure doesn’t define you.

Renew your mind daily in Scripture and serve others with a heart anchored in God’s love.

This message will challenge you to step off the treadmill of worldly validation and plant your identity firmly on the Rock.
