You Are More Than Your Background: Your New Identity in Christ

In this week's continuation of the NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) series, Pastor Rick Vannoy explores what it means to be adopted into God’s family as sons and heirs. Drawing from Galatians and Romans, Pastor Rick unpacks the significance of being a “son of God” and why this title goes beyond gender—it’s about having a special position of privilege and responsibility in God’s eternal family. Through vivid examples and historical context, Pastor Rick emphasizes that our identity in Christ isn’t tied to our earthly background or family. It’s rooted in our adoption by God, who makes us His own and promises us an inheritance beyond what we can imagine. If you’ve ever struggled with your self-worth, identity, or relationship with God, this message offers powerful encouragement and perspective. 🎯 Discussion Questions for Small Groups: 1) How does knowing you are adopted into God’s family as a “son” impact your understanding of your identity? 2) Pastor Rick talked about how our backgrounds don’t define us in Christ.
