Snitches Get Stitches // Damaged But Not Destroyed (Part 1) // Michael Todd

About this sermon

In Week 1 of the Damaged but Not Destroyed Series, Pastor Mike challenges a common cultural belief that discourages honesty, suggesting that those who speak the truth might suffer harm. Drawing on the childhood saying, "Snitches get stitches," he encourages a different perspective. This message will cause you to reframe this idea, emphasizing that when we are honest and transparent about our shortcomings, it allows God to bring healing to the areas where we've fallen apart. He reminds us that God doesn't bless who we pretend to be but who we really are. We pray this message gives you the courage you need to honestly share where you are so that Jesus can come and make you whole.
