Your Circumstances Don't Define You

Chicago Fellowship Talks

About

In the first of three messages based on the Apostle Paul's view of circumcision, we look at the common problem of defining our value and spirituality based upon our life circumstances. Too often, we think our relationship or vocational status must change in order to truly experience the Christian life. In 1 Corinthians 7, Paul argues strongly that the fullness of the Christian life is available to anyone, anywhere. Therefore, when we think certain circumstances are more sacred or valuable to God, we are missing the gospel and drifting into a dangerous form of idolatry.
