How Do You See Yourself? (01/04/2026)

This sermon challenges believers to examine how they view themselves in relation to God as they enter the new year. Using Luke 17:7-10, Pastor Gambrill emphasizes that salvation is not a reward for the righteous but a gift for the guilty. Christians should see themselves as privileged yet unworthy servants who have received God's mercy through Christ's sacrifice. The message confronts the tendency to negotiate obedience and service to God, reminding believers that their lives should be expressions of gratitude for salvation. When Christians forget their former lost condition and fail to comprehend God's forgiveness, they become frustrated and may withdraw from service. The sermon calls for a renewed commitment to serve God with humility, understanding that being called by the Master is the highest privilege, and that faith is strong enough to handle life's difficulties when properly grounded in Christ.
