2. Your Past Defines You

6. What You Have Defines Your Worth
Contributed on Jul 14, 2025
The world says your value is measured by what you own—status, wealth, and accomplishments. But God says your worth is found in who you are (your character) and whose you are (your identity in Christ). We are not defined by what we accumulate, but by our foundation in Him.
### **Introduction:*** This morning, we are continuing our series “Lies the World Tells,” and today we are going after a big one.
