Settling Our Identity Crisis | Psalm 8 & Romans

In this post-Christmas "bridge" Sunday, we explore the modern struggle for identity in a technological age. Many feel we are losing our humanity to screen addiction, social media algorithms, and the creeping influence of AI. But as Christians, we have a settled identity that dates back to creation itself. Drawing from Genesis 1, Psalm 8, Romans 11-12, and the Westminster Shorter Catechism, we discuss why the body is a gift to be consecrated rather than a limit to be broken. Learn how to live as a "living sacrifice" in 2026 by prioritizing local relationships over digital ones and accepting our creaturely limits as a gift from God.
