Lessons from Sunday Sermons - July 9, 2025

’ve always been hard on myself, probably because as a child, I was repeatedly made to feel as if I wasn’t good enough. Every victory came with a, “Good job, but how much better would it have been if you’d worked a little harder.” Every failure came with a disappointed look and an I-told-you-so statement.

God doesn’t work that way. He knows exactly how He created us, and He loves us more than we can ever hope to understand.

That’s the whole message of the Cross. To do for us what we COULDN’T do for ourselves, and to bring us into a relationship with the Father we AREN’T worthy of on our own.
