Nothing to Prove

January 13, 2019 Speaker: Chris Francis Series: Fighting For Rest

The world tells us we have something to prove, that we have to justify our existence.

To God. To others. And even to ourselves.

We try to prove ourselves through accomplishments and achievements; through the acceptance and approval of others; through our possessions; and even through living a moral life. 

But this is a very restless, angst-ridden way to live because we end up constantly wondering how we are doing and comparing ourselves to others. 

Thankfully, Jesus invites us into a different way of life. 

A life where we can be ambitious but not filled with angst.

A life where we can run hard but still have rest in our souls.

A life where we can not get everything done, not meet goals, make mistakes, and yet not wallow in shame or beat ourselves up. 

A life where we can live like Jesus - and also fail to live like Jesus -  while still feeling loved by him.
