Have you ever pondered what truly defines your worth? This episode invites you on a heartfelt journey to explore the essence of personal value, especially in moments when societal pressures seem overwhelming. Through the lens of the holiday season and the feelings it evokes, we engage in a rich discussion that challenges the notion of equating value with material success. Our conversation is not merely philosophical, but deeply rooted in spiritual teachings, emphasizing the importance of surrounding ourselves with those who inspire authentic growth and highlight our inherent worth.
As we navigate through the tapestry of societal expectations, we take a critical look at how cultural shifts and financial challenges can skew our perception of self-worth. Together, we unravel the truth that being created in God's image bestows an intrinsic value far beyond worldly achievements. The pressures of living paycheck to paycheck and the ensuing sense of inadequacy are tackled head-on, offering listeners practical insights into maintaining self-awareness and resilience amidst a rapidly changing world. This exploration urges a return to core values, both personally and within the community, pushing against the tide of superficial success.
The personal journey of faith and redemption is at the heart of our conversation, shedding light on the transformative power of understanding one's value in Christ. Reflecting on personal experiences of doubt and struggle, we affirm that true forgiveness and purpose are not earned but freely given through a relationship with God. Critiquing modern church practices, we call for a renewed focus on genuine spiritual growth and discipleship, encouraging listeners to embrace the unwavering love and grace offered by God. This episode is a profound reminder of the intrinsic value placed upon each individual, inspired by scripture and personal testimony, leaving you with a sense of hope and empowerment as you navigate your own journey.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
What is up?
Faith in Failures.
We are going to dive intoanother topic today, and we're
coming up on the holiday seasonat the time of this recording,
and even if we're not in theholiday season by the time you
view this, I want you tounderstand something very simple
that you should know whetheryou know God or whether you
(00:26):
don't, you have value.
Say it again you have value.
There is a value system thatwas put on your life.
Whether you believe in God orwhether you don't, the fact
still remains that Jesus Christcame and that was the worth of
(00:49):
your life.
So hold on to that.
As we go through whether you'rewatching this, through the
Christmas season, you may be byyourself, maybe having a first
time where you don't have peopleyou loved and cared about, that
.
Maybe it's the first timeyou're going through a season of
not having them around, and itcould be very tough, very hard.
(01:09):
Maybe someone divorced, maybeyou've lost parents that have
been divorced, or whatever.
There's a lot of differentscenarios.
Fill in the blank with whateveryour little heart desires, but
I want to tell you that, eventhrough how it feels and what
you're suffering through in thisseason right now, where
everybody else seems to becelebrating.
Everybody else is happy.
You got all the little littlegushy, mushy video or like
(01:34):
terrible Hallmark films that arecoming out right now with with
actors that I guess have justgiven up, I don't know, with all
the love stories surroundingthe Christmas holiday spirit.
With all the love storiessurrounding the Christmas
holiday spirit.
Remember that, even though youfeel like you're left behind or
you're left out, that you dohave value and we can get
sidetracked.
People can get distracted withthe, with the Christmas season,
(01:57):
with the holiday season with,and then we got the one a couple
months after that's now it'sthe love month and everybody's
talking about uh, everybody'sjust doing what I do year round.
Come on, somebody trying to buyflowers, trying to get
chocolates, trying to do thisand that my favorite chocolate
is peanut butter cups, by theway, if you're wondering.
And it seems that we get sowrapped up in these moments and
(02:18):
these seasons and these timeswhere celebrating is good, but
then we end up leaving out orleaving behind the people that
are really quietly suffering andforget that, whatever they're
going through or whoever left,or whoever left them behind,
it's very easy, especiallyspending years with somebody.
(02:39):
You feel like your identity hasbeen ripped from you, and I
just want to tell you that thatis not the case.
Even though that may be how itfeels, that is not the case.
You have value and people inyour life bring great value to
the table for your life, butthat is not how you measure your
(03:02):
value, and we're going to talkabout that today.
So stick with me.
Before we get into today's video, I just wanted to say thank you
to all of the new subscribers.
If you haven't yet, considersubscribing, hit that bell
notification so that you can seeevery time I put out a new

It's free.

Anything, great or small, isappreciated.
Now let's get into the video.
So let's dive into somescripture.
Today, let's read Psalm 139, 17and 18.
(03:44):
It says how precious are yourthoughts about me.
Oh God, they cannot be numbered.
That's a lot.
I can't even count them.
They outnumber the grains ofsand, and when I wake, you are
still with me.
So, through this Christmasseason right now, through this
holiday season through the newbeginning of 2025, there are a
(04:09):
lot of people that get to aplace where and I've been there
myself get to a place to whereyou can feel so secluded and
alone that it feels like you arejust on this journey by
yourself.
But, like we started off thispodcast talking about, I want to
tell you something very seriousand important that I want you
to internalize, I want you torepeat to yourself over and over
(04:31):
again, is that you have value.
You have value.
We live in a world that oftenmeasures our worth by the things
that we have, our worth by thethings that we have, the things
we obtain, like our jobs, ourstatus, economic status, our
possessions, how other peoplesee us.
(04:51):
There's a saying that is very Ilike it.
It makes sense, it's so factual, it's so true.
It says if you show I tell myteenager this, talking about
getting good friends, havinghealthy people around you you
want to see where you are infive to 10 years.
Show me your three to fiveclosest friends and that is
where you're going to go oryou're going to be.
(05:16):
Some of us need to pay attentionto whether people are pulling
us down, pulling us back, or ifthey're actually spurring us,
like the Bible says, and pushingus in a direction that will
help us become better in allareas of our life.
And specifically, if you are aChristian, do you have people
around you that are kind of eh,or do you have people that
actually read the Word?
Do you have people thatactually pray, people that
actually fast, people thatactually enjoy going to church,
(05:38):
actually enjoy and know how toworship?
If you don't get people aroundyou that are slightly, or even
sometimes a lot better thanyourself, you will never get
better.
You have to have someonepulling you or pushing you into
a new place in your life, into abetter place, into a stronger,
more refined Christian than justthe blah that just sits around
(06:03):
and does whatever and kind ofhaphazardly or half-heartedly
does Christianity and lives forGod.
And if you have that in yourlife, you need to re-check your
um, what you what you callquality, because quality bad or
good will contaminate your bador good, if that makes sense,
(06:26):
just like one bad apple can ruinthe bushel.
It's the same thing asspiritual walk.
It's the same thing in yourfinances If you always hang out
with people who never have anymoney.
If you always hang out withpeople, and I'm not talking
about if you're the person thatnever has money or whatever like
that.
You would be that person toother people.
There are different types ofless than people.
(06:48):
There are the type the lessthan people.
And when I say less than, I'mnot saying you're less of a
person.
I'm saying maybe you don't havethe nice job or the good job,
maybe you don't have the nicecar, maybe you don't have the
nice home, excuse me, maybeyou're always struggling.
You're always you know paycheckto paycheck.
Maybe you're always struggling.
You're always you know paycheckto paycheck.
That's a major portion ofAmerica.
(07:08):
The banks are in big, huge, niceplaces because we like credit
cards and they charge interestand that's how they make their
living.
That's how they.
If you go to a little bittybank, it ain't got a whole lot.
They ain't charging a whole lotof interest.
They ain't out there trying tonickel and dime everybody but
the major banks.
That's what they do.
That's how they make theirliving.
(07:29):
That's how they can buildskyscrapers in large cities
because of us.
They're feeding off the bloodof us and we're giving it to
them for free.
It ain't free, but that beingsaid, so if you're that person
that doesn't have all the stuffthat you once desire to be, say
I'm me.
I have three guys, three, threepeople around me that are that
(07:51):
they got nice jobs, they'resuccessful, they're organized um
, and that doesn't mean theyalways obtain things, but
they're not living paycheck,paycheck to paycheck.
They understand that, that thelender is slave, or the borrower
is slave to the lender, as theword says.
They're not suffering andfighting and clawing their way
(08:12):
out of debt.
Okay, there's a big difference.
But then you have the one personover here that maybe is trying
to get better.
Here comes two people trying toget better and they are trying
to surround themselves withpeople who are healthy, quality
people so that they can getbetter.
That is a person worthy ofholding onto.
(08:32):
That is a person who you canpour into, who you can take your
time with, who you can discipleand show them how to do life
better, show them how to nothave to struggle.
But then you have the other flipside of that coin, to where
they never want to do anything.
They don't want.
They're they're.
They just work to maintain.
They're not trying to besuccessful, they're not trying
to to ever go up in the nextlevel in any way in life and
(08:54):
these people are people that Idon't want around me.
I separate myself from thosepeople because bad company
corrupts good character.
Like someone who is that badand doesn't care that they're
that bad, doesn't haveself-awareness, doesn't care,
doesn't want to do better,always is buying on someone
else's dime and always doingthis and they never can get
(09:15):
ahead.
They are going to stay in thatcycle for the rest of their
lives and they can easily twistthings and make it look better
than it appears and you can doin that you can go in that same
direction.
So that's usually how life ismeasured in society, at least
here in America.
It's by the possessions you have.
A lot of times it's by thepeople you know I got, I got a
(09:37):
guy I love the guy to death, buthe name drops like a crazy
person.
Like he's a little bit older,he lived a life around a lot of
famous people and it was he'sbetter about it now, but it was
the main topic of conversationalways when I would meet him
like and talk to him alwaysabout who he, what he'd done,
who he was around and thingslike that, and it was just like
(09:59):
that's he, but his value iswrapped up in what he had done
in his life and that can be verydistracting and it also can be
very damaging.
If you're supposed to be livingfor Christ, christ should be
who you're wrapped up in.
How Christ did things, whatChrist did, how he lived, how he
portrayed himself, how he hadcompassion for people that is
something to name drop about.
(10:21):
But a lot of times, with theaccolades of living out in the
world, it's very hard to getthose roots out of your life.
So we chase guilty as chargedas well.
I'm pastor of a church and I dothis and I have to stop myself
(10:49):
and recheck my mind and my heartbecause we chase around for,
sometimes, the approval of otherpeople.
But I want to remind you todaythat the value on your life does
not come from this world.
They can try to sell youwhatever they want, but you have
the option to resist thetemptation of that and using
that as the excuse me as thedefining characteristic of you.
(11:13):
God has called you to more thanthat.
God has defined us.
So point number one is you arecreated in God's image.
The foundation of our valuebegins with understanding that
we are created in the image ofGod.
The truth is not just a poeticthought, it is a reality that
(11:37):
should shape the way we viewourselves.
So Genesis 1, 27,.
It says so.
God created human beings in hisown image.
In the image of God, he createdthem, male and female.
He created them.
And this is why it's so damagingin our society, where young
(11:57):
people, and some older peopletoo, are trying to, in a way,
play God.
When they're switching upgenders, they're trying to say
what God did is not good enoughor he did it wrong.
And this is why it's sodamaging to our culture, because
now we're taking the truth ofGod and we're trying to twist it
to fit the mold that we wanthim to fit into, and it becomes
(12:19):
damaging to culture, becomesdamaging to society, to the
churches.
It has infiltrated the churchesin such a way they've had drag
queens come and be in thechurches and put on shows in
front of people that claim Jesus, in front of children.
It is getting disgusting andpathetic.
That being said, what are you,as Christians, standing up and
doing something about it?
(12:39):
Like?
Are we allowing this to becomeand doing something about it?
Like are we allowing this tobecome and just like?
Oh, they're just going to dowhat they're going to do, which
is true.
Sinners are going to be sinners.
Just like when I was a sinnerand I didn't care anything about
God, didn't care about livingholy, didn't care about living
righteous before a holy God.
I lived however I wanted tolive.
It was just a thing that I did.
It was just another way.
It was just a thing that I did.
It was just another way.
It was my way of life.
But now that I've given my lifeover to God, everything about
(13:03):
me should be wrapped up andstart from Christ, start from
the word and then go do in theworld.
So Christ is the foundation andwe can go in the world and be
on solid rock and we won'tfalter or get blown over.
So we are not accidents.
(13:23):
You are not an accident orrandom beings.
From the earth's very beginning,god stamped his image on us.
This means we have an intrinsicworth, not because of what we
do or achieve, but because ofwho made us.
The Ford vehicle was one of thefirst manufactured vehicles
(13:49):
that was motorized.
It can do something that nobodyhad ever seen before, and so
when a Ford name is stamped on avehicle now, it means something
because of the creator thatmade it.
The very DNA of mankind isstamped with the creator's stamp
(14:10):
because we're made in his imageand so you in your DNA, you in
your makeup and the way that youare and don't try that bull in
the comment section about well,what about homosexuality?
They were born that way.
No, they ain't.
That is a taught thing.
Homosexuality is not in the DNAmakeup.
So just putting that out thereright now.
(14:32):
We are created in the image ofGod.
Now, what happens after birthis that, for instance you've
probably seen this meme too, andthis is a very good example of
I was born this way is a bunchof junk and nonsense.
It's ideology.
Political junk is all it is.
You have a little white boy anda little black boy and they're
(14:52):
hugging a little tiny, likemaybe one year old, two year old
, and it shows, and itdemonstrates very early on that
racism is something that istaught over time, just like this
gender confusion and dysphoriastuff.
It is a a encouraged mentalillness that has happened over
time, of where I believe now youcan say sinners are sinners and
(15:16):
evil is going to be evil.
Very true, but Christians havestopped stepping up to the plate
and calling out sin as sin.
And so now we live in a worldthat is the fruit of our not
labor, like we haven't beendoing anything, we haven't been
saying anything.
The churches are just oh, comeon, everybody, come on in, which
(15:37):
is true, we want to invite thesinners in, but in reality, it
should not be the sinnersinfiltrating the church, it
should be the churchinfiltrating the centers out in
the public area.
It shouldn't be that they haveto come to us to find God or, if
they're only coming to us tofind God, this is why God now
becomes us, because they havebrought their sin into the
church and the church, being thechurch, the body of believers,
(16:00):
has been infiltrated by diseaseand corruption.
And then we're like well, Idon't know what happened.
The church is so progressivetoday.
It's because the church hasstopped going out to the sinners
and we wonder what has happened.
We've lost that sense ofcompassion and urgency that
people need to know Christ.
(16:22):
We're so concerned about themcoming to us looking good Like,
and I'm not.
Oh man, this is frustrating.
I'm not trying to like, I'm notgoing to say names, but if you
ask a pastor today, I've donethis and I have been guilty of
doing this, like it just comesout.
People say and I have beenguilty of doing this, like it
just comes out.
People say so how's the churchdoing?
(16:42):
Well, we had 120 last week inservice.
Like, bro, that is not what Iasked you.
How is the church doing?
Like, are we making disciples?
Are we reaching the lost?
Are we chasing after God?
Are we being generous?
Like, how is the church and wetalk about how many people are
in the seats?
And this is, I believe, thebiggest trick of the enemy how
(17:04):
he has gotten into the church isthat he's gotten into the
leaders to think that this issuccess.
A number system is success, andthat's not accurate.
Let's go to point number two.
Your value is proven by Jesus'sacrifice.
So listen to this.
God's love for you and yourvalue to him is demonstrated by
(17:29):
the ultimate sacrifice thatJesus made on the cross.
Jesus Christ laid down his lifeto redeem you, showing you that
your worth is more thananything in this world.
And we see in John 3, 16, forGod so loved the world that he
(17:50):
gave his one and only son sothat everyone who believes in
him will not perish but haveeverlasting life.
That is how much God loves thisworld.
That is how much God loved you.
That's how much God loves me.
That's how much God loves thecenter, that's how much God
loves the person that is in thechurch sitting or the person
serving in the church.
That is how much God loves us.
(18:12):
He sent his son for us, and Ipreached at the time of
recording this.
Yesterday was Sunday.
I preached a message aboutbeing entitled and how the
church has has become anentitled Pharisee church, to
where we act like we have donesomething to earn our salvation,
like we've been living thisfull, this good, foolproof,
(18:32):
perfect life.
And we've done it.
And, and that's why we're saved, that's why God sent his, sent
his spirit to give us all thesegifts.
And the church of Corinth wasthe same type of way.
They took everything God gavethem, perverted it and made it
into their own selfish gain.
And it had to be put down,because that's why Paul wrote
the letters, because they wereperverting a blessing that God
(18:57):
had sent by the way of theSpirit.
And I believe I'm a part ofwhat's called a Pentecostal
denomination, which they believein power the day of Pentecost,
but sometimes we and I say we wetake the gift of tongues and
(19:17):
the infilling and the indwellingof tongues are two separate
things.
The gift of tongues is acorporate setting that is given
out and then there's aninterpretation.
That is a proper corporatesetting of tongues out loud in
church.
But then there's also otherthings that Paul writes about.
He says that he speaks intongues more than all of you and
(19:38):
if he does that, that's that isa kind of a phrasing that says
it is more of a private thingbetween him and God.
And I'm more of a privatetongues person, like I'm not out
loud about it because I want tobe so sensitive to those who
don't understand.
I would rather them hear, likePaul says, I would rather them
(19:58):
hear prophecy and be encouragedor be corrected than I would for
them to hear tongues andglorify me.
And that's what I think a lotof Pentecostal people have done
to tongues.
They have perverted it.
Paul will be sending us aletter today.
We're Pentecostal but we havemade tongues into a almost like
a rite of passage to where, ifyou don't do it now, you're like
(20:20):
a JV Christian and that's wrongof us, because the Spirit gives
the utterance, the Spirit givesthat and the gifts.
So it's not about us.
So we should not be able toboast.
And just like the value of aperson, like God sent, he said
(20:41):
Jesus is what you are worth.
So the cross was not anafterthought, it was a.
It was God's intentional planto show the depth of his love
for you and me.
If you ever doubted your worthor maybe you're doubting your
worth right now remember thatJesus thought you were worth
dying for.
He saw the brokenness ofhumanity and he still said you
(21:09):
are worth saving.
Now, the value of something.
Think about this the value ofsomething is determined by what
the buyer is willing to pay.
The value of something isdetermined by the price someone
is willing to pay for it.
Jesus paid the highest pricefor you, and that was his life.
That means your worth is beyondmeasure.
(21:29):
Never let the world or your owninsecurities convince you
otherwise.
The cross stands as a permanentreminder of your value, that
Jesus paid it all.
Look over in Ephesians, chapter10.
Point number three is you areGod's masterpiece.
(21:51):
I'm sorry.
Ephesians, chapter two, verse10.
For we are God's masterpiece.
He has created us anew inChrist Jesus so we can do good
things.
He planned for us long ago.
You and I are not just anordinary creation.
We are God's masterpiece and,just like any artist takes pride
(22:14):
in their work, god takes pridein you.
He didn't just create you andleave you to figure things out
on your own.
He didn't just create you andleave you to figure things out
on your own.
He has a plan and he has apurpose for you that he has
formulated long ago.
This verse reminds us that weare not accidents, but we are
made with intention.
(22:35):
Even in our struggles andimperfections, god is shaping
you into the person he createdyou to be.
You are valuable not just forwhat you do, but for who you are
a masterpiece in the making.
Let's go to point number four,and this is one that blows my
(22:58):
mind.
God knows you intimately.
In a world where we can feeloverlooked, we can feel
forgotten, god wants you to knowthat he knows you intimately.
You are never out of His sightor thoughts.
Psalm 139, 1 through 2,.
It says O Lord, you haveexamined my heart and you know
(23:21):
everything about me.
You know when I sit down orstand up, and that's a pretty,
it's pretty mundane thing tocare about.
But he's making a point herethat it doesn't matter the
mundane or the crazy.
God wants to be a part.
He knows, he sees and he cares,cares.
You know when I sit down or Istand up.
(23:41):
You know my thoughts, even whenI far away.
There is nothing about us thatis hidden from God.
He knows your strengths, yourweaknesses, your victories, your
losses.
Yet he loves you deeply.
(24:02):
He sees you not just as you are, but the person that you are
becoming and that he is shapingyou to be.
God's intimate knowledge of youmeans that you are not
forgotten and that you arealways On his mind.
His love for you is personal.
(24:30):
It's not distant.
I know sometimes we can feel MeSpecifically.
Most people don't Because Iseem very confident.
Most people don't know thisabout me, but I'm one of the the
biggest doubting Thomas's of myown personal abilities, my
(24:51):
value.
Like I, I have went throughseasons of just like why God did
you even pick me?
Like what, why Doesn't evenmake sense, does not add up to
me.
Lord, you had to have made amistake.
But in reality, even when I wasout there in the world, being
(25:14):
stupid and on drugs and livingon the streets and just trying
to make it from day to day andgot arrested and all the other
stupid stuff that I did multipletimes.
He was shaping me and he wascaring for me, even when I
didn't care for him, like he wasstill loving me even though I
(25:36):
wanted nothing to do with him,even though I wanted nothing to
do with him, and so that showedme something very real is that,
even though I turned from Godand was running from God, I was
still for some reason.
I can't give you a good reasonwhy, I can't give you a good
answer why but for some reason Iwas still on his mind and he
(25:58):
cared for me still, even thoughI would try my best to push him
away, to run from a call that Ihad in my life long ago.
I didn't want anything to dowith God, but yet, in the times
where I didn't want anything todo with him, he was over here
(26:21):
preparing something that at themoment, because he knows all, at
the moment I was going to givein and give up Because I had
nothing left to turn to In mydarkest hour.
At the same time, my purposeand my mission collided In that
moment of decision.
His love for you is personal.
(26:42):
He is far away, but he is alsoso close.
He is not a distant God.
Sometimes we feel, like me,unworthy of the attention, but
the truth is God delights inknowing us.
Your value isn't based on whatyou say or do, isn't just based
on what you say or do.
(27:03):
It isn't just based on what yousay or do.
It's rooted in the fact thatGod knows and God loves you
completely.
Point number five your valuecomes from God, not the world.
Matthew 10, 29.
(27:23):
What is the price of twosparrows?
One copper coin?
But not a single sparrow canfall to the ground without your
father knowing it, and the veryhairs on your head are all
numbers.
So don't be afraid, you aremore valuable to God than a
whole flock of sparrows.
The world tries to tell us anddefine us of what our worth is,
(27:52):
but this example, right here inthe Word in Matthew 10, shows
that God cares so deeply aboutthe sparrows and not one falls
to the ground without himknowing.
And yet we are worth more thanthat to him.
You don't have to earn God'slove.
You don't have to try to do theright thing or go to the right
(28:16):
church or say Hail Marys orwhatever it is that you feel
like you have to do to get inGod's good graces.
That's actually against theWord of God.
You don't have to do anythingto earn His grace, his mercy,
his love or His forgiveness,except for saying yes to Jesus.
And when you say yes to Jesus,this then produces out of you
(28:39):
good works.
Good works does not producesalvation.
There are many denominationsand other sects of religious
belief that try to tell you youhave to do a certain thing a
certain amount of times and dothis and do that to pay for what
you have done and to beforgiven from God.
That's not true at all.
Now there's a process to helpother people forgive you If
(29:02):
you've hurt people.
I've had to go through thatmyself, but it was after I was
forgiven from Christ that I hadthe courage and the strength to
even do that and know how to doit properly, because the world
cannot teach you how to trulyforgive because they themselves
have not been forgiven, have notbeen forgiven Now.
Think about the one who createdus, loved us and gave his son
(29:25):
for us.
We start with the firmfoundation God first and then
build from there.
Our worth is not defined by theworld, but by God, who calls us
his masterpiece, he knows usintimately and who thinks of us
constantly.
When you feel insignificant,defeated, unworthy alone,
(29:47):
remember that God sees you as aprecious and priceless child.
You are his, and your value isbeyond measure Romans 8, verse
38.
Is beyond measure Romans,chapter 8, verse 38,.
And I'm convinced that nothingcan ever separate us from God's
(30:08):
love.
Neither death nor life, angelsnor demons, neither our fears
for today nor our worries abouttomorrow, not even the powers of
hell can separate us from God'slove.
And God's love and God'ssalvation are not the same thing
.
But because of his love, hesent a way for salvation.
So I don't know who you arewatching this.
(30:33):
I don't know what is going tocome of this, but I do know this
Whether it was just 100,000people to watch this video, this
, whether it was just 100,000people to watch this video or if
it was just for one, I want youto know and understand that you
have value and that God doeslove you.
(30:54):
Did you hear me?
You have value and God lovesyou.
You can never run too far tooutrun his love.
You can never run too far tooutrun his love.
You can never do too much toobad to never be forgiven.
God, god's value system on youwas worth his one and only son.
(31:16):
That's how much he thought hislife and blood was worth.
And Jesus thought the samething, or he wouldn't have laid
down his life.
So thank y'all for watchingtoday.
If you know somebody who may bebeing down this season, or
(31:38):
maybe it's this next year, orwhenever you find this video,
and they are feeling down aboutthemselves and not understanding
who they are or rememberingtheir worth, send this video to
them so that they can rememberthat God sent His Son to die on
the cross.
I love you and I'm praying foryou, and I hope you have a great
rest of your week.
What is up?
Faith in Failures.
We are going to dive intoanother topic today, and we're
coming up on the holiday seasonat the time of this recording,
and even if we're not in theholiday season by the time you
view this, I want you tounderstand something very simple
that you should know whetheryou know God or whether you
(00:26):
don't, you have value.
Say it again you have value.
There is a value system thatwas put on your life.
Whether you believe in God orwhether you don't, the fact
still remains that Jesus Christcame and that was the worth of
(00:49):
your life.
So hold on to that.
As we go through whether you'rewatching this, through the
Christmas season, you may be byyourself, maybe having a first
time where you don't have peopleyou loved and cared about, that
.
Maybe it's the first timeyou're going through a season of
not having them around, and itcould be very tough, very hard.
(01:09):
Maybe someone divorced, maybeyou've lost parents that have
been divorced, or whatever.
There's a lot of differentscenarios.
Fill in the blank with whateveryour little heart desires, but
I want to tell you that, eventhrough how it feels and what
you're suffering through in thisseason right now, where
everybody else seems to becelebrating.
Everybody else is happy.
You got all the little littlegushy, mushy video or like
(01:34):
terrible Hallmark films that arecoming out right now with with
actors that I guess have justgiven up, I don't know, with all
the love stories surroundingthe Christmas holiday spirit.
With all the love storiessurrounding the Christmas
holiday spirit.
Remember that, even though youfeel like you're left behind or
you're left out, that you dohave value and we can get
sidetracked.
People can get distracted withthe, with the Christmas season,
(01:57):
with the holiday season with,and then we got the one a couple
months after that's now it'sthe love month and everybody's
talking about uh, everybody'sjust doing what I do year round.
Come on, somebody trying to buyflowers, trying to get
chocolates, trying to do thisand that my favorite chocolate
is peanut butter cups, by theway, if you're wondering.
And it seems that we get sowrapped up in these moments and
(02:18):
these seasons and these timeswhere celebrating is good, but
then we end up leaving out orleaving behind the people that
are really quietly suffering andforget that, whatever they're
going through or whoever left,or whoever left them behind,
it's very easy, especiallyspending years with somebody.
(02:39):
You feel like your identity hasbeen ripped from you, and I
just want to tell you that thatis not the case.
Even though that may be how itfeels, that is not the case.
You have value and people inyour life bring great value to
the table for your life, butthat is not how you measure your
(03:02):
value, and we're going to talkabout that today.
So stick with me.
Before we get into today's video, I just wanted to say thank you
to all of the new subscribers.
If you haven't yet, considersubscribing, hit that bell
notification so that you can seeevery time I put out a new
video.
A major portion of you thatwatch my videos haven't
subscribed yet, so why not?
(03:22):
It's free.
You can also find a PayPal linkbelow if you want to give a
one-time or give a monthly tosupport the channel.
Anything, great or small, isappreciated.
Now let's get into the video.
So let's dive into somescripture.
Today, let's read Psalm 139, 17and 18.
(03:44):
It says how precious are yourthoughts about me.
Oh God, they cannot be numbered.
That's a lot.
I can't even count them.
They outnumber the grains ofsand, and when I wake, you are
still with me.
So, through this Christmasseason right now, through this
holiday season through the newbeginning of 2025, there are a
(04:09):
lot of people that get to aplace where and I've been there
myself get to a place to whereyou can feel so secluded and
alone that it feels like you arejust on this journey by
yourself.
But, like we started off thispodcast talking about, I want to
tell you something very seriousand important that I want you
to internalize, I want you torepeat to yourself over and over
(04:31):
again, is that you have value.
You have value.
We live in a world that oftenmeasures our worth by the things
that we have, our worth by thethings that we have, the things
we obtain, like our jobs, ourstatus, economic status, our
possessions, how other peoplesee us.
(04:51):
There's a saying that is very Ilike it.
It makes sense, it's so factual, it's so true.
It says if you show I tell myteenager this, talking about
getting good friends, havinghealthy people around you you
want to see where you are infive to 10 years.
Show me your three to fiveclosest friends and that is
where you're going to go oryou're going to be.
(05:16):
Some of us need to pay attentionto whether people are pulling
us down, pulling us back, or ifthey're actually spurring us,
like the Bible says, and pushingus in a direction that will
help us become better in allareas of our life.
And specifically, if you are aChristian, do you have people
around you that are kind of eh,or do you have people that
actually read the Word?
Do you have people thatactually pray, people that
actually fast, people thatactually enjoy going to church,
(05:38):
actually enjoy and know how toworship?
If you don't get people aroundyou that are slightly, or even
sometimes a lot better thanyourself, you will never get
better.
You have to have someonepulling you or pushing you into
a new place in your life, into abetter place, into a stronger,
more refined Christian than justthe blah that just sits around
(06:03):
and does whatever and kind ofhaphazardly or half-heartedly
does Christianity and lives forGod.
And if you have that in yourlife, you need to re-check your
um, what you what you callquality, because quality bad or
good will contaminate your bador good, if that makes sense,
(06:26):
just like one bad apple can ruinthe bushel.
It's the same thing asspiritual walk.
It's the same thing in yourfinances If you always hang out
with people who never have anymoney.
If you always hang out withpeople, and I'm not talking
about if you're the person thatnever has money or whatever like
that.
You would be that person toother people.
There are different types ofless than people.
(06:48):
There are the type the lessthan people.
And when I say less than, I'mnot saying you're less of a
person.
I'm saying maybe you don't havethe nice job or the good job,
maybe you don't have the nicecar, maybe you don't have the
nice home, excuse me, maybeyou're always struggling.
You're always you know paycheckto paycheck.
Maybe you're always struggling.
You're always you know paycheckto paycheck.
That's a major portion ofAmerica.
(07:08):
The banks are in big, huge, niceplaces because we like credit
cards and they charge interestand that's how they make their
living.
That's how they.
If you go to a little bittybank, it ain't got a whole lot.
They ain't charging a whole lotof interest.
They ain't out there trying tonickel and dime everybody but
the major banks.
That's what they do.
That's how they make theirliving.
(07:29):
That's how they can buildskyscrapers in large cities
because of us.
They're feeding off the bloodof us and we're giving it to
them for free.
It ain't free, but that beingsaid, so if you're that person
that doesn't have all the stuffthat you once desire to be, say
I'm me.
I have three guys, three, threepeople around me that are that
(07:51):
they got nice jobs, they'resuccessful, they're organized um
, and that doesn't mean theyalways obtain things, but
they're not living paycheck,paycheck to paycheck.
They understand that, that thelender is slave, or the borrower
is slave to the lender, as theword says.
They're not suffering andfighting and clawing their way
(08:12):
out of debt.
Okay, there's a big difference.
But then you have the one personover here that maybe is trying
to get better.
Here comes two people trying toget better and they are trying
to surround themselves withpeople who are healthy, quality
people so that they can getbetter.
That is a person worthy ofholding onto.
(08:32):
That is a person who you canpour into, who you can take your
time with, who you can discipleand show them how to do life
better, show them how to nothave to struggle.
But then you have the other flipside of that coin, to where
they never want to do anything.
They don't want.
They're they're.
They just work to maintain.
They're not trying to besuccessful, they're not trying
to to ever go up in the nextlevel in any way in life and
(08:54):
these people are people that Idon't want around me.
I separate myself from thosepeople because bad company
corrupts good character.
Like someone who is that badand doesn't care that they're
that bad, doesn't haveself-awareness, doesn't care,
doesn't want to do better,always is buying on someone
else's dime and always doingthis and they never can get
(09:15):
ahead.
They are going to stay in thatcycle for the rest of their
lives and they can easily twistthings and make it look better
than it appears and you can doin that you can go in that same
direction.
So that's usually how life ismeasured in society, at least
here in America.
It's by the possessions you have.
A lot of times it's by thepeople you know I got, I got a
(09:37):
guy I love the guy to death, buthe name drops like a crazy
person.
Like he's a little bit older,he lived a life around a lot of
famous people and it was he'sbetter about it now, but it was
the main topic of conversationalways when I would meet him
like and talk to him alwaysabout who he, what he'd done,
who he was around and thingslike that, and it was just like
(09:59):
that's he, but his value iswrapped up in what he had done
in his life and that can be verydistracting and it also can be
very damaging.
If you're supposed to be livingfor Christ, christ should be
who you're wrapped up in.
How Christ did things, whatChrist did, how he lived, how he
portrayed himself, how he hadcompassion for people that is
something to name drop about.
(10:21):
But a lot of times, with theaccolades of living out in the
world, it's very hard to getthose roots out of your life.
So we chase guilty as chargedas well.
I'm pastor of a church and I dothis and I have to stop myself
(10:49):
and recheck my mind and my heartbecause we chase around for,
sometimes, the approval of otherpeople.
But I want to remind you todaythat the value on your life does
not come from this world.
They can try to sell youwhatever they want, but you have
the option to resist thetemptation of that and using
that as the excuse me as thedefining characteristic of you.
(11:13):
God has called you to more thanthat.
God has defined us.
So point number one is you arecreated in God's image.
The foundation of our valuebegins with understanding that
we are created in the image ofGod.
The truth is not just a poeticthought, it is a reality that
(11:37):
should shape the way we viewourselves.
So Genesis 1, 27,.
It says so.
God created human beings in hisown image.
In the image of God, he createdthem, male and female.
He created them.
And this is why it's so damagingin our society, where young
(11:57):
people, and some older peopletoo, are trying to, in a way,
play God.
When they're switching upgenders, they're trying to say
what God did is not good enoughor he did it wrong.
And this is why it's sodamaging to our culture, because
now we're taking the truth ofGod and we're trying to twist it
to fit the mold that we wanthim to fit into, and it becomes
(12:19):
damaging to culture, becomesdamaging to society, to the
churches.
It has infiltrated the churchesin such a way they've had drag
queens come and be in thechurches and put on shows in
front of people that claim Jesus, in front of children.
It is getting disgusting andpathetic.
That being said, what are you,as Christians, standing up and
doing something about it?
(12:39):
Like?
Are we allowing this to becomeand doing something about it?
Like are we allowing this tobecome and just like?
Oh, they're just going to dowhat they're going to do, which
is true.
Sinners are going to be sinners.
Just like when I was a sinnerand I didn't care anything about
God, didn't care about livingholy, didn't care about living
righteous before a holy God.
I lived however I wanted tolive.
It was just a thing that I did.
It was just another way.
It was just a thing that I did.
It was just another way.
It was my way of life.
But now that I've given my lifeover to God, everything about
(13:03):
me should be wrapped up andstart from Christ, start from
the word and then go do in theworld.
So Christ is the foundation andwe can go in the world and be
on solid rock and we won'tfalter or get blown over.
So we are not accidents.
(13:23):
You are not an accident orrandom beings.
From the earth's very beginning,god stamped his image on us.
This means we have an intrinsicworth, not because of what we
do or achieve, but because ofwho made us.
The Ford vehicle was one of thefirst manufactured vehicles
(13:49):
that was motorized.
It can do something that nobodyhad ever seen before, and so
when a Ford name is stamped on avehicle now, it means something
because of the creator thatmade it.
The very DNA of mankind isstamped with the creator's stamp
(14:10):
because we're made in his imageand so you in your DNA, you in
your makeup and the way that youare and don't try that bull in
the comment section about well,what about homosexuality?
They were born that way.
No, they ain't.
That is a taught thing.
Homosexuality is not in the DNAmakeup.
So just putting that out thereright now.
(14:32):
We are created in the image ofGod.
Now, what happens after birthis that, for instance you've
probably seen this meme too, andthis is a very good example of
I was born this way is a bunchof junk and nonsense.
It's ideology.
Political junk is all it is.
You have a little white boy anda little black boy and they're
(14:52):
hugging a little tiny, likemaybe one year old, two year old
, and it shows, and itdemonstrates very early on that
racism is something that istaught over time, just like this
gender confusion and dysphoriastuff.
It is a a encouraged mentalillness that has happened over
time, of where I believe now youcan say sinners are sinners and
(15:16):
evil is going to be evil.
Very true, but Christians havestopped stepping up to the plate
and calling out sin as sin.
And so now we live in a worldthat is the fruit of our not
labor, like we haven't beendoing anything, we haven't been
saying anything.
The churches are just oh, comeon, everybody, come on in, which
(15:37):
is true, we want to invite thesinners in, but in reality, it
should not be the sinnersinfiltrating the church, it
should be the churchinfiltrating the centers out in
the public area.
It shouldn't be that they haveto come to us to find God or, if
they're only coming to us tofind God, this is why God now
becomes us, because they havebrought their sin into the
church and the church, being thechurch, the body of believers,
(16:00):
has been infiltrated by diseaseand corruption.
And then we're like well, Idon't know what happened.
The church is so progressivetoday.
It's because the church hasstopped going out to the sinners
and we wonder what has happened.
We've lost that sense ofcompassion and urgency that
people need to know Christ.
(16:22):
We're so concerned about themcoming to us looking good Like,
and I'm not.
Oh man, this is frustrating.
I'm not trying to like, I'm notgoing to say names, but if you
ask a pastor today, I've donethis and I have been guilty of
doing this, like it just comesout.
People say and I have beenguilty of doing this, like it
just comes out.
People say so how's the churchdoing?
(16:42):
Well, we had 120 last week inservice.
Like, bro, that is not what Iasked you.
How is the church doing?
Like, are we making disciples?
Are we reaching the lost?
Are we chasing after God?
Are we being generous?
Like, how is the church and wetalk about how many people are
in the seats?
And this is, I believe, thebiggest trick of the enemy how
(17:04):
he has gotten into the church isthat he's gotten into the
leaders to think that this issuccess.
A number system is success, andthat's not accurate.
Let's go to point number two.
Your value is proven by Jesus'sacrifice.
So listen to this.
God's love for you and yourvalue to him is demonstrated by
(17:29):
the ultimate sacrifice thatJesus made on the cross.
Jesus Christ laid down his lifeto redeem you, showing you that
your worth is more thananything in this world.
And we see in John 3, 16, forGod so loved the world that he
(17:50):
gave his one and only son sothat everyone who believes in
him will not perish but haveeverlasting life.
That is how much God loves thisworld.
That is how much God loved you.
That's how much God loves me.
That's how much God loves thecenter, that's how much God
loves the person that is in thechurch sitting or the person
serving in the church.
That is how much God loves us.
(18:12):
He sent his son for us, and Ipreached at the time of
recording this.
Yesterday was Sunday.
I preached a message aboutbeing entitled and how the
church has has become anentitled Pharisee church, to
where we act like we have donesomething to earn our salvation,
like we've been living thisfull, this good, foolproof,
(18:32):
perfect life.
And we've done it.
And, and that's why we're saved, that's why God sent his, sent
his spirit to give us all thesegifts.
And the church of Corinth wasthe same type of way.
They took everything God gavethem, perverted it and made it
into their own selfish gain.
And it had to be put down,because that's why Paul wrote
the letters, because they wereperverting a blessing that God
(18:57):
had sent by the way of theSpirit.
And I believe I'm a part ofwhat's called a Pentecostal
denomination, which they believein power the day of Pentecost,
but sometimes we and I say we wetake the gift of tongues and
(19:17):
the infilling and the indwellingof tongues are two separate
things.
The gift of tongues is acorporate setting that is given
out and then there's aninterpretation.
That is a proper corporatesetting of tongues out loud in
church.
But then there's also otherthings that Paul writes about.
He says that he speaks intongues more than all of you and
(19:38):
if he does that, that's that isa kind of a phrasing that says
it is more of a private thingbetween him and God.
And I'm more of a privatetongues person, like I'm not out
loud about it because I want tobe so sensitive to those who
don't understand.
I would rather them hear, likePaul says, I would rather them
(19:58):
hear prophecy and be encouragedor be corrected than I would for
them to hear tongues andglorify me.
And that's what I think a lotof Pentecostal people have done
to tongues.
They have perverted it.
Paul will be sending us aletter today.
We're Pentecostal but we havemade tongues into a almost like
a rite of passage to where, ifyou don't do it now, you're like
(20:20):
a JV Christian and that's wrongof us, because the Spirit gives
the utterance, the Spirit givesthat and the gifts.
So it's not about us.
So we should not be able toboast.
And just like the value of aperson, like God sent, he said
(20:41):
Jesus is what you are worth.
So the cross was not anafterthought, it was a.
It was God's intentional planto show the depth of his love
for you and me.
If you ever doubted your worthor maybe you're doubting your
worth right now remember thatJesus thought you were worth
dying for.
He saw the brokenness ofhumanity and he still said you
(21:09):
are worth saving.
Now, the value of something.
Think about this the value ofsomething is determined by what
the buyer is willing to pay.
The value of something isdetermined by the price someone
is willing to pay for it.
Jesus paid the highest pricefor you, and that was his life.
That means your worth is beyondmeasure.
(21:29):
Never let the world or your owninsecurities convince you
otherwise.
The cross stands as a permanentreminder of your value, that
Jesus paid it all.
Look over in Ephesians, chapter10.
Point number three is you areGod's masterpiece.
(21:51):
I'm sorry.
Ephesians, chapter two, verse10.
For we are God's masterpiece.
He has created us anew inChrist Jesus so we can do good
things.
He planned for us long ago.
You and I are not just anordinary creation.
We are God's masterpiece and,just like any artist takes pride
(22:14):
in their work, god takes pridein you.
He didn't just create you andleave you to figure things out
on your own.
He didn't just create you andleave you to figure things out
on your own.
He has a plan and he has apurpose for you that he has
formulated long ago.
This verse reminds us that weare not accidents, but we are
made with intention.
(22:35):
Even in our struggles andimperfections, god is shaping
you into the person he createdyou to be.
You are valuable not just forwhat you do, but for who you are
a masterpiece in the making.
Let's go to point number four,and this is one that blows my
(22:58):
mind.
God knows you intimately.
In a world where we can feeloverlooked, we can feel
forgotten, god wants you to knowthat he knows you intimately.
You are never out of His sightor thoughts.
Psalm 139, 1 through 2,.
It says O Lord, you haveexamined my heart and you know
(23:21):
everything about me.
You know when I sit down orstand up, and that's a pretty,
it's pretty mundane thing tocare about.
But he's making a point herethat it doesn't matter the
mundane or the crazy.
God wants to be a part.
He knows, he sees and he cares,cares.
You know when I sit down or Istand up.
(23:41):
You know my thoughts, even whenI far away.
There is nothing about us thatis hidden from God.
He knows your strengths, yourweaknesses, your victories, your
losses.
Yet he loves you deeply.
(24:02):
He sees you not just as you are, but the person that you are
becoming and that he is shapingyou to be.
God's intimate knowledge of youmeans that you are not
forgotten and that you arealways On his mind.
His love for you is personal.
(24:30):
It's not distant.
I know sometimes we can feel MeSpecifically.
Most people don't Because Iseem very confident.
Most people don't know thisabout me, but I'm one of the the
biggest doubting Thomas's of myown personal abilities, my
(24:51):
value.
Like I, I have went throughseasons of just like why God did
you even pick me?
Like what, why Doesn't evenmake sense, does not add up to
me.
Lord, you had to have made amistake.
But in reality, even when I wasout there in the world, being
(25:14):
stupid and on drugs and livingon the streets and just trying
to make it from day to day andgot arrested and all the other
stupid stuff that I did multipletimes.
He was shaping me and he wascaring for me, even when I
didn't care for him, like he wasstill loving me even though I
(25:36):
wanted nothing to do with him,even though I wanted nothing to
do with him, and so that showedme something very real is that,
even though I turned from Godand was running from God, I was
still for some reason.
I can't give you a good reasonwhy, I can't give you a good
answer why but for some reason Iwas still on his mind and he
(25:58):
cared for me still, even thoughI would try my best to push him
away, to run from a call that Ihad in my life long ago.
I didn't want anything to dowith God, but yet, in the times
where I didn't want anything todo with him, he was over here
(26:21):
preparing something that at themoment, because he knows all, at
the moment I was going to givein and give up Because I had
nothing left to turn to In mydarkest hour.
At the same time, my purposeand my mission collided In that
moment of decision.
His love for you is personal.
(26:42):
He is far away, but he is alsoso close.
He is not a distant God.
Sometimes we feel, like me,unworthy of the attention, but
the truth is God delights inknowing us.
Your value isn't based on whatyou say or do, isn't just based
on what you say or do.
(27:03):
It isn't just based on what yousay or do.
It's rooted in the fact thatGod knows and God loves you
completely.
Point number five your valuecomes from God, not the world.
Matthew 10, 29.
(27:23):
What is the price of twosparrows?
One copper coin?
But not a single sparrow canfall to the ground without your
father knowing it, and the veryhairs on your head are all
numbers.
So don't be afraid, you aremore valuable to God than a
whole flock of sparrows.
The world tries to tell us anddefine us of what our worth is,
(27:52):
but this example, right here inthe Word in Matthew 10, shows
that God cares so deeply aboutthe sparrows and not one falls
to the ground without himknowing.
And yet we are worth more thanthat to him.
You don't have to earn God'slove.
You don't have to try to do theright thing or go to the right
(28:16):
church or say Hail Marys orwhatever it is that you feel
like you have to do to get inGod's good graces.
That's actually against theWord of God.
You don't have to do anythingto earn His grace, his mercy,
his love or His forgiveness,except for saying yes to Jesus.
And when you say yes to Jesus,this then produces out of you
(28:39):
good works.
Good works does not producesalvation.
There are many denominationsand other sects of religious
belief that try to tell you youhave to do a certain thing a
certain amount of times and dothis and do that to pay for what
you have done and to beforgiven from God.
That's not true at all.
Now there's a process to helpother people forgive you If
(29:02):
you've hurt people.
I've had to go through thatmyself, but it was after I was
forgiven from Christ that I hadthe courage and the strength to
even do that and know how to doit properly, because the world
cannot teach you how to trulyforgive because they themselves
have not been forgiven, have notbeen forgiven Now.
Think about the one who createdus, loved us and gave his son
(29:25):
for us.
We start with the firmfoundation God first and then
build from there.
Our worth is not defined by theworld, but by God, who calls us
his masterpiece, he knows usintimately and who thinks of us
constantly.
When you feel insignificant,defeated, unworthy alone,
(29:47):
remember that God sees you as aprecious and priceless child.
You are his, and your value isbeyond measure Romans 8, verse
38.
Is beyond measure Romans,chapter 8, verse 38,.
And I'm convinced that nothingcan ever separate us from God's
(30:08):
love.
Neither death nor life, angelsnor demons, neither our fears
for today nor our worries abouttomorrow, not even the powers of
hell can separate us from God'slove.
And God's love and God'ssalvation are not the same thing
.
But because of his love, hesent a way for salvation.
So I don't know who you arewatching this.
(30:33):
I don't know what is going tocome of this, but I do know this
Whether it was just 100,000people to watch this video, this
, whether it was just 100,000people to watch this video or if
it was just for one, I want youto know and understand that you
have value and that God doeslove you.
(30:54):
Did you hear me?
You have value and God lovesyou.
You can never run too far tooutrun his love.
You can never run too far tooutrun his love.
You can never do too much toobad to never be forgiven.
God, god's value system on youwas worth his one and only son.
(31:16):
That's how much he thought hislife and blood was worth.
And Jesus thought the samething, or he wouldn't have laid
down his life.
So thank y'all for watchingtoday.
If you know somebody who may bebeing down this season, or
(31:38):
maybe it's this next year, orwhenever you find this video,
and they are feeling down aboutthemselves and not understanding
who they are or rememberingtheir worth, send this video to
them so that they can rememberthat God sent His Son to die on
the cross.
I love you and I'm praying foryou, and I hope you have a great
rest of your week.
