Description

If others—and even your own memories—try to label you by your darkest struggles, will you believe God’s word: “That’s what you were, but you have been washed, sanctified, justified” in Christ?


Are the regrets and old labels of your past defining your daily mindset and actions, or do you truly believe the gospel when it says, “That is not who you are anymore” in Jesus?


Rooted in Romans 1 and 1 Corinthians 6, this message boldly declares that sin—whether sexual immorality, idolatry, greed, or deception—need not define anyone’s present or future if they belong to Christ. The emphasis is on the hope of deliverance and transformation: through Christ, believers are no longer defined by what they were, but by what He has made them—new, clean, and called to live for God in every area, including the public square.


We are transforming our hearts so we can shape the public square. If you're interested in starting a public square ministry, check out these free resources - https://fpiw.org/public-square-ministry
