CHARACTER: The new self. "Destiny of the Republic." Simone Biles. Lords of Waterdeep.

Citizen of Heaven

Character is more than what you do. It is who you are on the inside—your true identity. It’s a tough concept. We struggle to judge others. We struggle to judge ourselves. In the end for Christians, it all boils down to the same thing: Adopt the character of Jesus.

This week we will discuss the person Jesus is trying to turn us into, the blind eye the world turns to Jesus’ impact, yet another ready-fire-aim moment from the world of sports, and the blessings corruption brings (such as they are).
