Your True Identity (Sunday Gathering Sermon)

Your True Identity (Sunday Gathering Sermon)

Author: Circle of Atonement November 19, 2025 Duration: 30:41

In this Sunday Gathering sermon, Emily Perry explores one of A Course in Miracles' most beautiful and foundational teachings: your true identity as God created you. Not the self defined by the ego, the world, or the body—but the self that is holy, boundless, joyful, and eternally one with God.

Drawing on powerful passages from the Workbook and Text, you will learn: 

• Where we currently seek our identity (and why it never satisfies) 

• What the Course says is actually true about us

• The subtle ways we lose sight of who we are

• The practices that help restore our awareness of our holiness

• How knowing our true identity naturally leads to healing, forgiveness, and miracles

If you've ever struggled with doubt or self-judgment, this sermon will help you reclaim a vision of yourself grounded in God's love, not the ego's limitations. Watch now to reconnect with the Self that is complete, healed, whole—and forever held.
