Yesterday was an incredibly moving and powerful day as we celebrated the baptism service, witnessing eight individuals take a profound step in their faith journey.

Who Am I?
I’ve always been somewhat perplexed when people ask me the question “And what do you do?”. Personally, I work to live, not live to work. My job takes up a large proportion of my week, but it doesn’t define who I am. God designed us to be so much more than what we do in life.
In the Christian movie Overcomer, there is a scene where Thomas, a dying man in hospital, asks John, a basketball coach: “If I ask you who you are, what’s the first thing that comes to mind”. John rattles through a list of activities “I’m a basketball coach, a history teacher, a husband, a father...” before, identifying as a “white, American male”. It is only when pressed further that John states ”I’m a Christian, a follower of Christ”. In response Thomas asks how important it is to him to be a Christian - and why it was so far down his list in the first place!
As we start the Year 2022, many people are making New Year’s resolutions. New Year’s Day is seen by many cultures around the world (indeed the tradition can be linked back as far as ancient Babylon) as a chance to hit the proverbial reset button, to start over. For some it is to budget better, for others it is lose weight, to learn a new topic or to cease an irritating habit.
As Christians we may set goals to pray more, to read our bibles more. As Brother James so eloquently put it during our Praise & Worship prior to service on Sunday, if we attempt change in our own strength we fail. It is only when we seek God’s strength we can succeed.
As a child, for many years I was determined to start the New Year by no longer biting my finger nails, a habit I have barely kicked today if I be honest! Regardless of the resolution, their purpose is simply an attempt to redefine who we are. It is an attempt to start doing something good, or to stop doing something bad to change the very character of who we are.
In our Sermon on Sunday 2nd January, the first of 2022, Pastor Courtney introduced our new sermon series “New Year, New You” based on the book of Ephesians. This series will look at where we should seek our identity from.
The sermon began with the story of a man who was suffering from amnesia after being found by an ambulance group. The man had all his skills and talents, he simply did not know who he was any more. He had lost his identity.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ
Ephesians 1:3
As we read earlier, the world tells us our identity is based in what we do in this life. For this reason, we spend our lives seeking to be something “better” than we are. We seek secure jobs, more money, we follow fashion and the latest trends. If we are single, we may seek to be married. We kid ourselves that if we could only do or have this, then life will be better for us. We do this, because the world says “You are what you do”, that we are defined by what we do or what we have.
Our scripture tells us something very different, it tells us “In Christ, you do what you are”. As Christians, we are not sinners because we sin, we sin because we are born as sinners. All of us. As Pastor explained, children do not need to be taught how to misbehave, they must be taught how to behave. We are born into a life of sin and we instinctively revert to the bad behaviours we know, based on what we’ve observed in life - unless we change our identity - and this is why New Year’s resolutions fail.
If the bible tells us our identify flows out of who we are, where do we get our identity from? Our identity comes from Jesus Christ. New life, real change, comes from obtaining a new identity in Jesus.
When Adam and Eve were created they were created in the image of God (Genesis 1:26). However, in Genesis 3:5, the devil sows doubt in Eve’s mind. The devil tells Eve “you will be” like God, if you eat the fruit. Eve was already like God so the devil attacks her identity, to cast doubt in her mind over who she truly was:
For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.
Genesis 3:5
The devil constantly attacks our identity. Even Jesus was prone to attack when the devil asked Him “if you are the son of God” (Luke 4), even though God has already said to Jesus “You are my beloved Son”. If Jesus was attacked, we most definitely will be. Don’t let the devil try to make you doubt who you are in Christ!
As a Christian, we must know who we are in Christ. Our Christian identity must be based on two things. Knowing who God is and knowing who God says you are. We must win the battle to keep our identity in Christ.
This is why reading our bibles is so important. As a church, we have just started reading the Bible together in a One Year plan (contact your Host for details – click here). By reading our bibles, we learn more about who God truly is and we can learn who God says we are.
In the second Sermon in this series, on the 9th January, Pastor Courtney looked further into our identity, again following the book of Ephesians, by presenting how we can obtain a new identity. We also heard how when we base our identity on things we have done in life we become either arrogant or prideful as a result, alternatively, we can feel shame or hopeless if we have not achieved what the world tells us we should have achieved. Our identity, how we see ourselves, follows us wherever we go - into work, church and even into marriage. However, once we understand God chose us in Christ, through His grace, we find acceptance in our identity as a child of God.
If we truly seek change and growth in 2022, we need to ensure our identity is based in Jesus Christ. Only by trusting in Jesus, basing our identity on Him and His teachings can we truly bring change to our lives.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever.
Psalm 23:6
Base your identity on Christ, abide with Him and truly be blessed, not just in 2022, but forever.

Shame Remover
If you’ve spent any time at all watching TV advertisements or listening to the radio, you will doubtless have heard one of a proliferation of adverts for the latest cleaning products that “loves the jobs you hate”, “shines umpteen things clean” or “puts the freshness back”. Whilst the Marketing agencies that produced these slogans we remember so well clearly did their jobs, the products rarely lived up to their hype.
Little mistakes happen to us all. We’ve all spilt a drink on the couch, dropped food on the carpet and let a saucepan boil over. But it often seems that no matter how many cleaning products we use, how hard we scrub, how much elbow grease we use, there is always a slight residue left behind and our couch or carpet never quite looks the same again. Certainly they never have that brand new shine!
We all make mistakes in our lives too. We’ve all messed up in one way or another. How many times have we all strayed from what we know to be right? Perhaps you’ve told a lie, made selfish decisions, lived a gluttonous life, stolen from someone, committed adultery, carried out a crime or even blasphemed against God. When we make a mistake, no matter how hard we try to brush it under the carpet, we cannot by ourselves remove the shame we feel. Like the tea stain on the new couch, sin leaves a stain of shame on our lives.
A feeling of shame can dominate our thoughts and our lives. We can feel embarrassed, guilty and, if we are keeping these feelings to ourselves they can overwhelm us. Shame is like a spotlight on our lives pointing directly at our mistakes and the feelings it produces can hold us back and stop us reaching our full potential.
The bible is littered with people who have made mistakes. In our sermon last Sunday, we looked at the mistakes of Adam and Eve (Genesis 2:25): And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
As I write this piece, I look out the window in front of me and am surrounded by Autumn colours, the bright and golden colours on the trees are breathtaking. How much more must Adam and Eve have enjoyed the garden of Eden? They lived a perfect, idyllic and sin free life in the Garden. So much so, they didn’t even need clothes. Their lives were so perfect, they didn’t even notice they were naked. Yet still they made a mistake. Eve disobeyed God and ate fruit from the one tree God asked them not to and shared the fruit with Adam.
Instantly, they knew they had messed up, and, in their shame, their nakedness was revealed to them for the first time. Rather than immediately confess their mistake to God, they turned to the world for an answer and tried to hide their shame under fig leaves.
When God comes looking for them, Adam, to whom Eve had turned, tries to shift the blame for his mistake on to Eve who in turn blames the serpent. Their shame is leading them to make more and more bad decisions. In their confusion, neither Adam or Eve knew how to handle their shameful feelings.
When we make mistakes, we often panic too. In our haste, we too attempt to hide our sin, by covering it up and turning to our friends and loved ones for help. As Eve found out to her cost, Adam didn’t exactly help her out of her situation!
I often think, the bible would’ve been a rather short book if rather than try to hide from God, they had turned to him instantly and confessed their mistakes. They would, I am sure, have gone on to enjoy life in the garden.
God placed the feelings of shame in our lives for a reason. Feelings of shame will not go away by themselves. The feelings of shame are designed to return us to God.
Let us not try to hide our own mistakes from God. Let us not turn to the world in an attempt to cover up or hide our mistakes. Instead, let us humble ourselves and turn to God.
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1 John 1:9
When we confess, God forgives us of our sins and restores our lives. God gives us a fresh opportunity to rebuild, to start a new life in Him, a life guided by Him.
Like the cleaning products listed at the start, that never truly remove the stains from our homes (even when we follow the instructions on the back to the letter!), there is nothing in this world that can completely remove our feelings of shame for our past sins.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.2 Cor 5:17
Only our Father in Heaven is able to truly remove the feelings of shame and build us into a new creation. God offers us the opportunity of a fresh start and His word provides the instructions how. Join us for the rest of our Shame Remover series to find how you can apply His word to your lives, restore your life, shine and excel. God is the one true Shame Remover. Guaranteed!
