You Don't Have the Right to Label Yourself

Who has the authority to define who you are? In this sermon, Pastor Doug explores the growing cultural belief that identity is something we create entirely for ourselves—and contrasts it with the biblical understanding that our identity is ultimately given by God.

When we become the sole source of our identity, confusion, instability, and emptiness often follow. But Scripture points us toward a deeper foundation: we are created with purpose, value, and meaning by the One who made us. This message challenges listeners to rethink where identity comes from and why truth matters when defining ourselves.
