LIFE SENTENCE | David Arcos - Mosaic

About this sermon

Pastor David Arcos delivers a powerful new message, challenging our foundational beliefs. He asks us to consider the negative life sentences we’ve given ourselves and how they may be in disagreement with God’s empowering thoughts toward us. Pastor David shows us that it is detrimental when we only build our lives around what we have, what we do, what we feel, and what others say about us. In Judges chapter 7, God steps into the story of Gideon when he least expects it. Where Gideon is in a place of overwhelming doubt and confusion around his identity, God invites him to see himself differently. Gideon is invited out of his self-loathing through his conversation with God. First, he must climb out of his negative ways of thinking about himself and agree with God’s perspective. Then, he must go with the strength he has and trust that God will provide what he needs on the journey. Lastly, Gideon must take responsibility for himself and others through service. Instead of trying to prove himself, God invites him to serve others selflessly. If you’ve been struggling with confusion about who you are and what you offer, this message will give you the confidence to trust who God says you are and move forward with everything He has already provided for you.
