This Sunday we will continue with our sermon series “Diving Deeper.” We’re currently on the second part of the series which focuses on knowing and loving self. Loving ourselves requires self-awareness, and an important perspective of self-awareness is understanding our family history. We all have ties that connect us across generations. And these ties shape our lives and actions. Remember that family history doesn’t guarantee outcomes, but it empowers us to make informed choices about our health, finances and lifestyle. In Genesis 20 the story of Abraham's deception to Abimelech is seen playing out in Isaac's life too (Genesis 26). Jacob, Isaac's son also lives a life filled with deception, which is seen in his sons. We can clearly see a web of lies trickling down from one generation to the next. This clearly reveals the power of inherited identity! The good news is that God's work is not limited by the flaws in our family history. Through faith in Jesus, we are made into a new creation. Self-awareness in Christ allows us to identify the inherited identity that we are unconsciously living so that we can be set free to be who God created us to be.
