Do you know the difference between your feelings and the facts? In this powerful message, we dive deep into one of the most challenging aspects of spiritual maturity—learning to distinguish between emotional responses and objective truth.

Our world increasingly elevates personal feelings to the status of truth, creating a culture where "my truth" replaces "the truth." This shift has profound implications for how we understand ourselves, relate to others, and most importantly, how we connect with God. With refreshing candor, the pastor shares his own struggle with imposter syndrome—feeling undeserving of his position and blessings despite God's clear calling—and how God's truth statements about our identity serve as the antidote to these deceptive feelings.

We explore how modern media ecosystems feed us content that reinforces what we already want to believe, creating echo chambers that strengthen our emotional attachments while shielding us from contrary perspectives. This pattern makes it even harder to separate feelings from facts. Yet Scripture declares truths about who we are that don't depend on our emotional state: we are justified, redeemed, at peace with God, standing in grace, and filled with hope.

The path forward requires intentional practices that align our hearts with God's perspective. Through prayer, Bible reading, and worship, we "rewrite on our hearts who God says we are." This process isn't about denying our feelings but recognizing their proper place. The sermon concludes with practical homework: writing down how you feel about yourself versus what God says about you—and extending this exercise to include those you struggle to love.

Ready to break free from the tyranny of feelings-based living? Join us as we discover how to stand firmly on the unshakable facts of God's word rather than the shifting sands of our emotions. Your journey toward seeing yourself through God's eyes starts here.
