“It is not who you are, but how you see yourself, that determines what you do!”
In the third sermon of this series, Pastor Pekka speaks on how to be an Ambassador for Christ.
2 Corinthians 5:17-21 (NIV)
17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! 18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 20 We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. 21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

“It is not who you are, but how you see yourself, that determines what you do!”
In the second sermon of this series, Pastor Pekka asks the question: “How do you see yourself?”
Life is determined not by who we are, but how we see ourselves. The people of Israel saw themselves as grasshoppers and ended up missing out on the promised land. How we see ourselves matters more than we think. How do you see yourself? And more importantly, how does God see you?

Pekka Perho – Who Am I pt.1 – “Are you ready to be who you really are”
September 18, 2011 by Saalem

2 Corinthians 5:17 (NIV)
17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come; The old has gone, the new is here!
Life is determined not by who we are, but how we see ourselves. American Idol has proven this principle time and again: Seeing myself as a great singer does not make me a great singer… More often than not, we see ourselves as less than what we actually are.
How do you see yourself? And more importantly, how does God see you?
This sermon series will help you form a firm foundation for your identity and cause you see who you really are as a follower of Christ.
