    When the disciples approach Jesus about spots in his Kingdom, he turns things upside down

    The Source Of Self-Worth

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Nov 4, 2017
    based on 3 ratings
     | 17,756 views

    Jesus teaches three ways NOT to go after self-worth, and then concludes with the only truly lasting and meaningful way to find one's worth. Not only that, but he models that true way for us.

And yet, behind the facade of the bully lies a deep insecurity, a fear of rejection. Our bookstores are full of books about self-worth. I did a quick search on ...read more
