Resisting the Assault on Identity, part 1 - Norman Hurlow

As 2025 kicks off, we’re bombarded with pressure to become a “new you.” But what if the real invitation is to remember who you already are in Christ?

In this message from Luke 4, we explore Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness and what it reveals about identity, struggle, and victory. We also reflect on Ephesians 1–3, where Paul lays out 21 truth-filled declarations of who we are in Christ.

This message is a timely reminder: Your worth isn’t tied to your performance—it’s anchored in your relationship with God.

Start the year grounded, not striving.
