Overview

Gospel Identity, created by missions-focused ministry Serge, focuses on the changing of Christians by the power of the gospel.

In this life-transforming resource, small groups seeking to grow and be on mission with the gospel will discover their need for Jesus, examine the blessings of their new identity in Christ, and learn how those gifts move us outward to love others.

With user-friendly small group activities and questions rooted in Scripture, this study resource includes a leader’s guide and is suitable for small groups and individual mentoring. The series offers many other helpful and theologically rich small group resources, such as Gospel Growth and Gospel Love.

Gospel Identity works at the very heart of the Christian faith: it presents a theological framework for understanding our shared identity in Christ but also focuses on tangible ways Christians can live out these foundational truths.

Many small group guides either focus heavily on biblical study without a personal life connection or they don’t rely on Scripture enough. Gospel Identity doesn’t neglect deep personal transformation, and it doesn’t water down the good news. Serge offers readers an opportunity for rich, grace-based training on the specific and meaningful topic of identity, which is woven into the fabric of our being.

Come and explore how a firmly rooted knowledge of gospel identity leads to renewal and a radical, missional mindset for your community.

Praise for Gospel Identity

I love the series of small group resources, Gospel Identity, Gospel Growth, and Gospel Love. They are theologically rich, but not stuffy; practical, but not pragmatic. They are life-transforming resources that will be used to transform communities on mission with the gospel.

—Scott Thomas, Pastor of Pastoral Development, The Journey Church

This study is unique in that it works at the very heart of our faith. It is a marriage course, a discipleship course, and a Bible study, but it is so much more. It is all about getting the central passion of Christianity—the cross of Jesus Christ—at the center of your life. And not just your thinking life, but your doing and experiencing life. So it is good theology and good practice combined. If you get the cross right, then everything else works.

—Paul Miller, Director of SeeJesus; author of A Praying Life

Many Christian resources focus either on biblical study to the neglect of deep personal life transformation or on life application based on a very flattened understanding of the gospel. Serge has drawn upon their history of rich gospel-based training to produce a series that targets real-life transformation grounded in a robust, grace-based theology. Only a resource saturated in the gospel can lead to the kind of meaningful life change promised to us in the Bible, and I am thrilled to see such a resource now available.

—David H. Kim, Director of the Gotham Initiative, Redeemer Presbyterian Church, NYC
