For youth Sunday at Colony Christian Church, Ethan Prasko gave the Communion Meditation over Philippians 4:8, which tells us to “Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable.”
Ben Prasko was the guest speaker, and his sermon was “Finding identity.”
Our identity is reflected in everything we do, how we dress, speak and act, he noted.
But when what becomes your identity fails, your self-worth becomes nothing. We often define our identity as what people say we are (dumb, ugly, etc.). We look to others for approval, attention or love. When we do this, we’ll do whatever it takes to be accepted by others. But we can’t focus on pleasing people. God’s plan is much bigger than that, and we don’t have to be who the world says we should be.
