<div class="SSN_title">"WHO AM I?"</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_intro">Intro: We hear much talk today of "identity crisis." There is a great attempt to bring people to a consciousness of themselves as persons rather than a role player. You are not a wife or mother first, you are a person first. Any self-centered concept will lead you to emptiness and frustration. We need a God-centered personality and life.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">I. "WHO AM I?"</div>

|
<div class="SSN_level5">2. He could not successfully bury one Egyptian. God desired to bury their whole army.</div>

<div class="SSN_level4">c. He had committed himself to a task, not to God.</div>

|
<div class="SSN_level5">1. I am leary of these calls to commitment to church, programs.</div>

|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">d. He went from a self-centered, self-sufficient person to a "Who Am I?"</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. His self-image pretty shattered.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. No ability vs. 11.</div>
