What Difference Does It Make? | NIL Week 2

In this week's message, Pastor Rick Vannoy continues his thought-provoking series, NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness). Drawing from the book of Galatians, Pastor Rick explores how we, as followers of Jesus, are called to reflect Christ’s name, image, and likeness in our daily lives. As the world offers distorted versions of the gospel, Paul’s passionate plea to the Galatians challenges us to hold fast to the truth.

Are you living out your true identity in Christ, or have you been caught up in the false messages of the world? Dive deep with us as we explore what it means to carry the name, image, and likeness of Christ and live with purpose, power, and joy.

Whether you’re new to the faith or a seasoned believer, this message will encourage you to embrace your true identity and run the race set before you with confidence in God’s grace. Listen, reflect, and share this life-changing message with those around you!
