How Do You Feel About Yourself?
What does it truly mean to love yourself? It might sound like a strange question for a sermon, but Scripture makes it clear that loving ourselves is not vanity or selfishness -- it is actually a command from God. In Matthew 22, when Jesus is asked to name the greatest commandment, He gives two answers that are inseparable: love God with everything you have, and love your neighbor as yourself. That phrase -- as yourself -- is the key we often overlook. If we struggle to love, forgive, or extend grace to ourselves, that same struggle will show up in how we treat the people around us. This message challenges us to examine the inner voices that tell us we are not enough, not holy enough, not worthy enough, and to recognize those voices for what they are. The enemy uses shame and self-condemnation as tools to keep us stuck, but Romans 8:1 reminds us that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ. When we begin to understand our worth through God's eyes rather than through our failures, everything changes -- how we worship, how we relate to others, and how we walk out our calling.
