Who are you… really?
Is your identity defined by a birth certificate, a driver’s license, or a passport—something that can be copied, lost, or changed? In this message, Pastor Ollin Collins reminds us that the most important “identification” a person can have is a new birth in Christ.
Using 2 Corinthians 5:14–17 as our foundation, we explore what it means to be a new creation—how Christ’s love compels us, how we no longer live for ourselves, and how our relationship with Jesus changes the way we see God, ourselves, and other people.
This sermon is part of Stewardship Month at The Bay, focusing on being faithful stewards of what God has entrusted to us—including our identity as children of the King.
In this message you’ll learn:
Why the Bible—not feelings, opinions, or behavior—defines truth
How Christ’s sacrificial love changes everything (Romans 5:6–10)
What it means to “die to sin” and “live a new life” (Romans 6:1–7)
Why your life may be the only “Bible” some people will ever read
How being in Christ changes the way you view people and purpose
Key Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:14–17
“For Christ’s love compels us…”
“If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation…”
Question to reflect on:
When people look at your life… what do they read? Do they see someone living like everybody else, or do they see a child of the King?
