The Christian’s Identity

Jan 4, 2026    Pastor Marc Williamson

Today we begin a brand new series for the New Year: Back to the Basics. In this first sermon, The Christian’s Identity, Pastor Marc Williamson takes us to Matthew 5:13–16 to rediscover who we are in Christ.


Most people spend their lives asking, “Who am I?” But identity is not something we achieve—it’s something we receive in Christ. Jesus tells us, “Ye are the salt of the earth… Ye are the light of the world.”


In this message, we’ll explore:

The transformation that happens at salvation

The purpose and power of being salt and light

Why your identity shapes your behavior and mission

The caution Jesus gives against losing our influence


In a decaying and dark world, believers are called to be a preserving and illuminating presence. Are you living out who God has already declared you to be?
