Falling Short

Faithfulness Over Success

J.R. Briggs

·

In this thought-provoking message, Pastor J.R. Briggs invites us to take an honest look at the metrics we use to measure our worth. In a culture obsessed with external achievements, it’s easy to feel like we are constantly falling short.

Drawing from the Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25, J.R. challenges us to shift our focus from societal definitions of success, like money and prestige, to a deeper understanding of stewardship and grace. He unpacks the truth that spiritual maturity isn’t about what we accomplish, but about the posture of our hearts.

Join us as we explore how to release the pressure of performance and embrace our true identity: one that is received, not achieved.

Scripture: Matthew 25
