Declaration of Dependence

What if God loves you just as much as Jesus?

Imagine this: The Father loves you just as deeply as He loves Jesus. That’s not wishful thinking—it’s the truth behind Jesus’ prayer for you in John 17. And that prayer? It’s already been answered.

This message invites you into a fresh understanding of what it means to be truly one with Jesus—not trying to get closer but resting in the reality that you already are. Your dependence on Him isn’t about lack or failure. It’s the overflow of a righteous, secure identity in Christ. You don’t have to earn His love or prove your worth. You’re embraced fully—just as you are.

Get ready to be encouraged, lifted, and reminded of your place in God’s heart. Watch now and discover your perfect union with Him—empowering you to depend on Christ to be Christ, in and through you!
