Loved and Chosen by God
Who are we beneath the labels and expectations of the world? Through Jesus’ teaching to render to God what belongs to God and Paul’s encouragement to the Thessalonians, this sermon reminds us that our true identity is found not in worldly success or status, but in being loved and chosen by God. Rooted in this truth and empowered by the Holy Spirit, we can live with a joy that remains steadfast even through life’s challenges.
