Almost True

Why Don’t I Feel Like Enough?

Message Summary

You have likely heard the saying, “You are enough.” But without Christ, we are not enough. The issue with this lie is that when we believe we’re enough, we won’t seek the One who is.

The good news is that with Jesus, we have everything we need.

Key Scripture

Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God. Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God ...
2 Corinthians 3:4-5 ESV
