In this powerful message from the Tell Me Who I Am series, Pastor Patrick Keller challenges believers to rethink how they see themselves and others through the lens of the gospel.

Using 2 Corinthians 5:16–17, Pastor Patrick explains that once a person is in Christ, the old ways of evaluating people—by appearance, background, success, failure, or social status—no longer apply. The apostle Paul teaches that believers must stop judging “according to the flesh” and instead recognize the deeper spiritual reality: anyone in Christ is a new creation.

Through biblical insight, personal testimony, and practical examples, this sermon explores how identity shifts when we see life from God’s perspective. Your past mistakes, circumstances, labels, and experiences do not define you. What defines you is what Jesus accomplished through His death and resurrection.

In this episode you’ll discover:

• Why Christians must stop evaluating people by worldly standards

• How your identity changes the moment you are in Christ

• Why circumstances and past failures cannot determine who you are

• The power of speaking and believing what God says about you

• How a new-creation mindset produces strength, victory, and purpose

From Gideon being called a mighty man of valor while hiding in fear, to the bold declarations of Scripture that call the weak strong and the defeated victorious, this message calls believers to reject limiting labels and embrace their true identity in Christ.

You are not your past. You are not your circumstances. You are not the names the world gives you.

You are a new creation in Christ.

Listen now and discover why it’s time to say: “Don’t call me that anymore.

In a world marked by chaos, anxiety, and uncertainty, true rest feels rare. The world does not have rest because it does not have Jesus or lasting hope. But as believers, rest is not optional—it is our inheritance.

In this powerful message, Pastor Maurice Johnson teaches that rest is more than a feeling; it is a declaration. It signals to God, to the world, to yourself, and even to the enemy that you trust the Father and are secure in Christ.

Through biblical examples—Job, the Passover in Exodus, Rahab in Jericho, and Noah in the ark—we see a consistent pattern: protection and preservation were connected to a place of rest. While judgment and chaos unfolded around them, those who trusted God remained covered.

Rest is not passivity. It is spiritual confidence rooted in the love of God.

Pastor Maurice outlines three decisions that position believers to enter into God’s rest:

First, I will not fear. Perfect love casts out fear (1 John 4:18). Fear torments, but trust in God’s love produces stability. Many identify with Job’s suffering but forget the finished work of Jesus. Fear opens the door to torment; rest closes it.

Second, I will not doubt. When Peter walked on water, he succeeded while focused on Jesus but began to sink when he shifted his attention to the wind and waves (Matthew 14:25–32). Doubt begins when we forget the Word spoken over us. Rest comes when we fix our eyes on Christ and hold firmly to what He has said.

Third, I will not worry. Jesus commanded believers not to worry about life’s needs (Matthew 6:25–34). Worry adds nothing, solves nothing, and reflects misplaced trust. Faith acts as a shield, guarding the heart and mind. When you worry, you diminish your confidence in God’s care. When you rest, you affirm your value and His faithfulness.

Rest is spiritual warfare. Rest is trust in action. Rest is rooted in the unshakable love of God.

This episode will challenge you to examine where fear, doubt, or worry may be disrupting your peace—and call you back to the finished work of Christ.

When you understand how deeply you are loved, you can live cool, calm, and confident—regardless of the economy, global conflict, or personal storms.

Enter His rest. Feed on His faithfulness. Stand secure in His love

I’m Loved by God – Part 4

Speaker: Pastor Maurice Johnson

In Part 4 of I’m Loved by God, Pastor Maurice Johnson calls you to move beyond hoping God loves you—and step into confident certainty that He does.

This message unpacks seven specific ways the Father loves you, revealed through how He loved Jesus—and how that same love now rests on you.

God celebrated the birth of Jesus. He celebrates your birth and your new birth.

God provided for Jesus. He provides for you.

God placed all things into Jesus’ hands. According to 1 Corinthians 3:21–23, all things are already yours. Stop chasing what has already been given. Matthew 6:33 isn’t about striving—it’s about receiving. Through faith and patience, you inherit the promises. There is never a problem on the giving end with God. If there’s a blockage, it’s on the receiving end—and that’s your responsibility.

The Father called Jesus His Son. He calls you His son. Romans 9:25–26 reminds us that identity is given, not earned. Some struggles persist because believers think beneath their sonship. Be alert to thoughts that produce spiritual inertia. Your default thinking matters. Feeling good is not a bonus—it’s baseline for someone who knows they are loved.

The Father heard Jesus—and He hears you (John 11:41–42; John 16:23–27). The foundation of answered prayer is not performance, but love. God answers because He loves.

The Father gave angels charge over Jesus, and He gives angels charge over you. Protection is not wishful thinking—it’s covenant reality.

And just as Jesus was given a new identity after the cross—High Priest, Captain and Bishop of our souls—you too have been given a new identity. You are not who you were.

This episode dismantles comparison, striving, and fear. It confronts the lie that things are escaping you. What God has declared yours cannot outrun you.

The devil is not your equal. Circumstances are not your master.

What you want, wants you.

It’s time to receive what has already been given
