Love changes our identity (pt 3)
• Series: Renovate: How Jesus teaches us to love
How does real love change our identity? 1.) Building on sand 2.) Building on stone 3.) Kneeling before Jesus Matthew 15:21-28 Matthew 7:24-27 Questions: 1.) Read Matthew 7:24-27. According to this Scripture, what is the difference between those who build on sand vs. stone? How do you know if your identity is being built on sand or stone? 2.) Read Matthew 15:21-27. Notice the persistence of this woman, the offensive words of Jesus, and her response in verse 27. Now compare this with Matthew 15:12. The Pharisees couldn't get past the offense of Jesus, but this woman did. What is the difference between them? 3.) Read Matthew 15:28. This woman received some incredible words from Jesus Christ, the King of all creation: "Your faith is great." Why are we tempted to settle for fragile worldly identities instead of pressing in to find our true identity in Christ like this woman did?
