In this message we're challenged to examine the true source of our identity. The central theme revolves around the parable of the Prodigal Son from Luke 15, illustrating how we often build our identities on shaky foundations like shame, striving, stuff, and status. But our real identity lies in being children of God. The father's response in the parable - offering a robe, ring, sandals, and a feast - symbolizes honor, authority, freedom, and celebration that come with embracing our true identity in Christ.
