Listen "November 9 - WHO Before the DO – 2 Corinthians 5 | Guest Speaker Ben Baber"
Episode Synopsis
What if mission doesn’t start with doing more—but with being someone new?This week, guest speaker Ben Baber, lead pastor of The Fields Church in State College, unpacks 2 Corinthians 5:17–21 and challenges us to see our identity in Christ as the fuel for our mission in the world.In a culture obsessed with productivity, Paul reminds us: the who comes before the do. You are not defined by what you accomplish, but by what Christ has done for you. If you’re in Christ, you’re a new creation, given a ministry of reconciliation, and sent as an ambassador of the King—right where your feet are planted.In this message, you’ll learn:👤 Why identity must precede activity in the Christian life🌉 What it really means to be reconciled to God (and why that changes everything)📣 That every believer is called to represent Jesus in everyday spaces🔥 How the Holy Spirit gives you confidence to speak with gospel clarityYou weren’t just saved from something—you were saved for something. This isn’t just a message for missionaries. It’s a mission for anyone who’s been reconciled by grace.⸻📖 Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:17–21🎙 Speaker: Ben Baber🕊 Church: Steel City Church📌 Series: Grow
