333 – God still uses ordinary people to accomplish His purpose

Christmas is just a few weeks away, and a lot of people I know are busy getting ready for this special time of year when we celebrate Christ’s coming. And I don’t just mean making all the preparations for holiday meals, gifts, and seasonal activities.

A lot of people take very seriously getting ready spiritually to be more receptive to the spirit of Christmas, the appearing of Jesus here on earth and the significance of that event, not just 2,000 years ago, but today as well.

Think of all the different sorts of people who will celebrate Christmas and the many different ways they’ll go about it.

Most of these folks, I would imagine, are just regular, ordinary people, and by ordinary, I do not mean insignificant, making room in their hearts for Christ’s coming.

And when you think about it, God has always used, “ordinary” people to accomplish His purposes, especially at Christmas.

And that’s what we’re talking about in today’s episode.

How will God use you to share the spirit of Christmas?

332 – FREEDOM FRIDAY

You are made in the image and likeness of God. The Bible makes this clear in the very first chapter of Genesis.

But then the Bible tells story after story of how people have sinned and not been true to the way God created them.

Someone asked the other day: If I’m really made in the image and likeness of God, why do I keep sinning?

That’s a pretty deep question and that's what this episode of Freedom Friday is all about.

It has a LOT to do with how you see yourself.

331 – What gives you a sense of self-worth?

Over the years, I've met some people who are very, very wealthy.

I've also met people who probably didn’t have $20 to their name. And lots of people in between.

Some of these very wealthy people, even though they have been incredibly successful in many areas of their life, have a very low sense of self-worth.

And a few of the homeless people I’ve met, who don’t have enough money to get a good meal, have a remarkable sense of their own value as a human being.

Of course, this isn’t always the case, but it’s kind of the opposite of what you might expect.

So I’ve been thinking about self-worth:

• What is self-worth?
• Where does it comes from?
• How do you find your own-self-worth?

Your self-worth is rooted and grounded in your relationship to God as His image and likeness.

You may not always see it, but your self-worth is always here because it’s part of your identity as a child of God.
