Expect Perfection, but Celebrate Progress

Do you ever feel like no matter how hard you try, it’s never enough? In a world that celebrates growth everywhere else, many of us hold our faith to a different standard, expecting perfection and feeling like failures when we fall short. But what if that’s not how God sees you at all? This message dives into the tension between God’s perfect standard and His incredible grace. You’ll discover that while God calls us higher, He’s not waiting for perfection to be proud of you, He’s already working in your progress. You are not who you used to be. And you’re not done yet. God isn’t disappointed in you, He’s committed to you.
