In this powerful episode of our Christian sermon podcast, join CJ Muston as he shares an inspiring message on Graduation Sunday that speaks to everyone, regardless of age or stage in life. Whether you're a recent graduate or someone who graduated years ago, this sermon titled "Know Your True Value: God's Perspective on Graduation Sunday" is for you.
CJ, the youth minister at FCC, dives into the concept of true value and how understanding this can transform your life. He uses the analogy of a $20 bill to illustrate that our value is not determined by the labels the world places on us but by the intrinsic worth assigned by our Creator.
Drawing from Ephesians 2:4-9, CJ explains how God's rich mercy, grace, and love define our true value. He discusses the common labels we give ourselves—such as failure, unloveable, or worthless—and contrasts them with the life-giving labels God places on us. These divine labels elevate us, much like a valuable painting or trophy is raised up for all to see.
In this episode, you'll learn practical steps to live in the truth of your God-given value, including the powerful technique of "shrinking down" negative labels and expanding the positive ones placed by God. CJ challenges listeners to identify one negative label in their life this week and work on shrinking it, while simultaneously embracing the immense value God has placed on them.
Tune in to be reminded of your worth and to discover how living in the truth of your God-given value changes everything. Don’t miss this heartwarming and life-changing message that will encourage you to see yourself through God’s eyes.
Listen now to "Know Your True Value: God's Perspective on Graduation Sunday" and take a step closer to understanding your divine worth.
