Bible Verse:
From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard Him thus no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
Big Ideas:
- The gospel gives us new eyes to see the world.
- The gospel doesn’t make bad people better; it makes us new.

Bible Passage:
2 Corinthians 5:16-17Identity:
FOCUS – I AM AN AMBASSADOR
SERIES: GOD IS THE KING – I AM HIS AMBASSADOR
The Kneel Year is an exploration of what it means to worship God with our all (Luke 10:26-28). Worship is not something that is limited to a service once a week, but instead occurs every day, in all of life. We are unceasing worshipers. Worship never stops, it only changes directions. In order to worship God with all of our heart, soul, strength, and mind, we must embrace our identity as image bearers. It is out of that identity that we can begin to live for God’s glory in all of life (Colossians 3:17).
