Do you like who you are? When you look in the mirror do you like what you see? When you think about you, do you like yourself or do you struggle with feelings of inferiority? Join Chip as he shares how you can rise above those feelings of inferiority and a low self-esteem to experience God’s love for you like never before.
Distorted mirrors destroy our lives:
- The Appearance Mirror
- The Performance Mirror
- The Status Mirror
Thesis – Until we see ourselves as God sees us, we are destined to FEEL INFERIOR.
3 keys to a Biblical self-image:
1. Get God’s View of You = KNOWLEDGE
You are significant because:
- You're UNIQUE -Gen 1:27, Ps 139:13-14
- You're LOVED -1 Sam 16:7, Jer 31:3
- You're VALUABLE -1 Cor 6:19-20
- You're SECURE -Eph 1:13
- You're INDISPENSIBLE -Eph 2:10, 4:15-16
2. Believe God’s View is True = FAITH
- Faith is built on God’s Word -Rom 10:17
- Faith grows through mind renewal -Rom 12:2
- Develop a plan to remove the distorted mirrors of the world with the mirror of God’s Word -Jam 1:22-24
3. Discover the “You” that’s True = EXPERIENCE
- Unwrap your SPIRITUAL GIFTS -1 Cor 12, Rom 12
- Unleash your SPIRITUAL PASSION -Ps 37:4
- Use your God-given TALENTS -Ex 31:3
- Embrace your God-given PERSONALITY -1 Cor 2:11
- Leverage your past EXPERIENCE -Rom 8:28
Ministry is how God makes what’s true “of” us, true “in” us. Sometimes it’s only in the act of “loving others: that we can fathom that we ourselves are loved!
