In this message, we explore the deep and pressing question: How do we measure our self-worth? Drawing from personal reflection, cultural insights, and biblical truth, we are led on a transformative journey through the Lord’s Prayer in Matthew 6:5–14, revealing that our true value lies not in worldly status, achievements, or possessions, but in our unshakeable identity as sons and daughters of the King.

This sermon offers hope, freedom, and clarity to anyone struggling with self-image, insecurity, or a sense of insignificance. Be encouraged as you rediscover who you are in Christ — loved, known, and called to make a difference, right where you are.
