Yet it is all too easy for us to press into the idea that we can, in a sense, be our own gods. In order to combat this temptation, we must recognize: Your God complex There can be only one Only God can rule: rightly, effectively, and justly Crossroads – about heaven, earth, and...

Judges 6:11-16
We all like to give ourselves different identifiers. Whether we identify with a hobby we enjoy, or something we spend too much time thinking about, or sometimes even our weaknesses that we think define us. That doesn’t necessarily go along with our identity as set by God. So how should we determine our true identity?
- You are who God says you are.
- Often finding our true identity requires shedding a false one.
- Who you really are is only discovered/revealed/achieved in a walk with God.
