Are you struggling with feelings of inferiority? Has your self-esteem been crushed by a soured relationship or job loss? Chip 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!
