[Claiming Your Identity] A Freed Person Among Slaves (New Beginnings UMC)

Series: Claiming Your Identity Scripture: Genesis 37:1-11 People, groups & ideologies try to squeeze you into who and what they believe is acceptable. Jesus, however, invites us to claim our identity in and through him. The identity he offers runs deeper than politics, nationality, ethnicity and even sexuality. The Identity he offers goes to the very core of our being. That identity is what we're exploring in this series. This sermon was originally preached to New Beginnings UMC on 6/7/26. It is substantially similar to "[Claiming Your Identity] A Freed Person Among Slaves (Rock Springs UMC)" and "[Claiming Your Identity] A Freed Person Among Slaves (Chester UMC)."
