In this teaching, we explore the core message of the movie Hook: a man who misplaced his identity and lost his purpose, leaving him hollow, empty, and powerless. Pastor JB argues that this is a timely word for us today, as much of the suffering we experience is the result of misplaced identity in things like career, relationships, and politics. Biblically, this misplaced identity is a form of idolatry that leads to anger, apathy, or aimlessness.
The good news is that salvation isn't just forgiveness—it's an identity transformation. When you surrender to Jesus, he redefines you as a new creation and an ambassador for Christ, breaking the cycle of brokenness.
This sermon speaks to two groups: those who need boldness in their identity as a Christ-follower and those who need to bow to Jesus for the first time to find their true identity and purpose.
