Your True Identity is Not on the Line This Sunday

It's SO EASY to tie our identity to how people respond to our sermons.

Before Sunday arrives, here's a quick dose of gospel truth to anchor your pastoral heart.

⚓️ YOU ARE A SON BEFORE YOU ARE A SERVANT. Jesus doesn't love you because you preach well. He loves you because you are his.

⚓️ YOUR IDENTITY IS SECURE. Your worth is rooted in the finished work of the cross, not how many stars your sermon gets.

⚓️ THE PRESSURE IS OFF. The Holy Spirit changes hearts. You simply deliver the message.

Which of those three truths is the hardest for you to hold onto when Saturday night rolls around?
What is a specific practice or reminder you use to tether your identity to Jesus BEFORE AND AFTER you preach?

This Sunday, you get to preach from a place of Fatherly approval. The same gospel you're preparing to share with your people is the gospel that covers and sustains you right now.

Have a restful Saturday, and preach grace with freedom on Sunday.
