Tapestry Community Church

It is so easy to be defined by the roles we play; a mother, a father, a husband, a wife, a doctor, a nurse, a pastor, a student, etc. Paul challenges us here to allow Jesus and Jesus alone to be the defining influence in our lives regardless of the roles we're in.

As new creations, our focus and priorities shift from the old to the new. This message walks us through how to put off the old and embrace your new identity as a child of God.

Jesus gives us the freedom to rest in our relationship with Him and not live under the tyranny of other's expectations. Religious systems that lift rules above relationship foster guilt, create shame and diminish true freedom. This message reminds us that when Jesus sets us free we are free indeed!

Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. There is no other path to God. Any teaching, philosophy or tradition that makes man's effort greater than Christ's atonement is a dead end. Only one path leads to the Father and it must pass through the cross.

There is no endeavor, no pursuit in life greater than the pursuit of Christ. This message challenges us to labor for that which is greater; to become wholehearted followers of Jesus and sharers of the Gospel He brings for the sake of those who are yet to know Him.
