Introduction: Do you like to receive gifts? Most people do. Some can’t hold back their excitement; they rip off the wrapping as fast as they can. Others like to play with the package and try to guess what’s inside. They shake it to see if it rattles; they sniff it; they try to figure out…

Who We Are In Christ Part I
Introduction: “Nobody likes me.” “I keep making the same mistakes over and over again.” “I’m a lousy mother, housekeeper, friend, … (you fill in the blank).” “If people knew what I’m really like, they wouldn’t have anything to do with me.” “I never do anything right.” Do you ever berate yourself like this? Do you…
