In today’s episode, we look into the timeless truth that Christ calls us beyond the familiar, inviting us to embrace a fresh sense of identity. This narrative illuminates the essence of following Christ – an intentional shedding of our former selves, allowing Him to redefine the very core of our being.

The pastors look at the transformative narrative of Peter leaving everything behind for the sake of following the Messiah. Jesus will strip away Peter’s lifelong identity as a fisherman, compelling him to relinquish his trade and embrace an all-encompassing ministry – a decision carrying profound personal sacrifice. With a willing heart, Peter bids farewell to his former life, thus paving the way for a pivotal moment: the revelation of his new identity through Jesus’ celebrated Sermon on the Mount.
