Identity Crisis - For Ministry Resources Youth Series curriculum

Lessons

According to Paul, you are God’s masterpiece—created with purpose and designed by the greatest Creator, giving you true identity and worth. In a world obsessed with labels, Paul reminds us that the only label that truly matters is being found in Christ. Through the story of a woman in Mark’s gospel, we learn that while culture may define us by our struggles, Jesus calls us His own, revealing that our true identity is rooted in His love and not our circumstances.

Lesson 1

YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD

How do you describe yourself, distinguish yourself, and define your worth? We want to help you discover your true identity. It may seem simple, but few people truly grapple with life’s most important question: “Who am I?” Let’s start by exploring a powerful story in Mark’s gospel about a woman who saw her issue as her identity. As we read, we will see that culture defined her by her desperation, but Jesus defined her as His daughter.

Lesson 2

YOU ARE GOD’S MASTERPIECE

According to the Apostle Paul in Ephesians chapter two, you are God's artwork. You are the custom creation of the greatest Creator in history. Your identity and intrinsic value comes from your designer. This study answers two significant questions. First, how does God see you? Second, why did God create you? Every single one of us are a masterpiece with a mission.

Lesson 3

YOUR NEW IDENTITY IN CHRIST

Everyone seems to have a label these days. Don't believe me? Look at the brands on our shirts, cups in our hands, and bios on our Instagram's. The Apostle Paul has some thoughts on this topic. He wants his friends in Corinth to know that there is only one supreme label, and it’s not the clothing brand either. There is only one label that's worth your attention and it's found in Christ.
