The theme of Sundays\u2019 message was \u201cTrue to Who You Are\u201d.<\/p>\n
Your Identity, Who are you? How would you answer that question? As you listen to the passage Mark 8:27-38, think about what it has to say about Jesus\u2019 self-understanding, his own sense of his identity \u2013 and what the ramifications of his identity are for him and those who follow him. Jesus asked his disciples \u201c Who do people say that I am?\u201d\u00a0 And they answered. \u201cJohn the Baptist, and others Elijah, and still others, one of the prophets\u201d. He asked them, \u201cBut who do you say that I am?\u201d Peter answered him,\u201d You are the Messiah.\u201d<\/p>\n
Who are You? In the fall of 2000, a 17 year old country singer named Jessica Andrews recorded a song that rose to the top of the Billboard country charts.<\/p>\n
It started:\u201d If I live to be a hundred and never see the seven wonders. That\u2019ll be alright. If I don\u2019t make it to the big leagues, if I never win a Grammy I\u2019m gonna be just fine; Cause I know exactly who I am, I am Rosemary\u2019s granddaughter, The spitting image of my father and when the day is done,\u00a0 my momma\u2019s still my biggest fan, Sometimes I\u2019m clueless and I\u2019m clumsy But I\u2019ve got friends who love me.\u00a0 And they know just where I stand. It\u2019s all a part of me, And that\u2019s who I am.\u201d So Who are You?\u00a0 Be a Blessing to all you meet.<\/p>\n
