Identity at the Table

In week four of The Table, Pastor Adam stresses that often there is a gap between who we think we are and who we really are, which can lead to dissatisfaction and pain. Drawing from the biblical story of Mary and Martha, the sermon explores how our actions are deeply influenced by our perceived identities. Martha, distracted and stressed over her duties, contrasts with Mary, who is commended for choosing to listen to Jesus, representing the peace that comes from knowing one’s true identity in Christ. The sermon concludes by encouraging the congregation to embrace their identity as defined by God, not by societal standards or personal achievements, highlighting the freedom and stability that comes from this understanding.
