At The Movies Part 5: Playing Dress Up // Pastor Amy Indovino

Who are you trying to impress? We all have a tendency to want to "dress up" as more successful or put together than we actually are. Aladdin was a street rat. He believed the only way to be accepted was to become Prince Ali. Jacob, like Aladdin, was born worthless. His name meant deceiver, worthless, second-best. God met Jacob, and in His goodness, He changed his identity. We discover that we don't have to dress up and try to impress God. The gospel declares that we aren't good enough; but God loves us! You are invited to throw away our pretending and lying, and embrace the new nature Jesus has given us.
