Season 4 WHO ARE YOU? Series | KNOWN Chapter | E5 Fearfully & Wonderfully Made

Knowing and being known are two of our deepest needs as relational beings to know and be known. And in this fast-paced, disconnected digital world we live in, it's easy to have all the followers, connections, and fans but still feel completely alone. In the Chameleon Chapter, we were fighting the urge to "FIT IN" with the world, and now we desire to be more connected digitally...and more lonely physically than ever before. Digital personas are as showy as they are shallow. You see, we are made for more than relational conflict. We are the image & likeness of the triune God; for the community, fellowship, and kingdom-centered relationships.

When was the last time you were called wonderful?

When was the last time you felt deeply - personally known by another?

"You are fully known, loved, and forgiven" can quickly become distorted as it makes its way through life's chaos and distortion. Every day is another opportunity to hear mixed, destructive, and confusing messaging about who you are. There is a genuine enemy who wants nothing more than to steal, kill, and destroy every good thing God has placed in your life. I'd venture to guess that it's been a long time since someone called you extraordinary. It's probably been an even longer time since someone's called you marvelous. These words matter and are worth listening to and believing today because of Jehovah God's sources. Despite anything else you may have heard or come to believe, you are wonderful, marvelous, and beautiful. I love these words because when David wrote Psalm 139, he understood God enough to recognize how God sees His creation. And David further understood that this applied to him personally.
