DENNIS

Good morning everyone. I am Dennis Gossett with Central United Methodist Church. In a 2013 article, it was told that actor and comedian, Peter Sellers, played so many roles that sometimes he was not sure of his own identity. Approached once by a fan who asked him, "Are you Peter Sellers?" Sellers answered briskly, "Not today," and walked on.

Even though Sellers was joking, his remark is probably the way many people are feeling in our day. There is a lot of confusion about who we are. Modern trends suggest that your identity is found in whatever you desire it to be suggesting that somehow you are naturally flawed. This concept is confusing a lot of people. It is important to remember that each one of us was perfectly made in the image of the Father.

The Apostle Paul warns that humanity has a tendency to forego the image of God for something much lesser. Such confusion is unsettling. However, peace comes when we realize that we are a part of a bigger story. God’s story you were made at the right time, under the right circumstances, and perfect in his eyes.
