Examining Yourself: Finding Jesus, Not Shame

We often hear Paul’s call to “examine yourselves” as an invitation to be harder on ourselves— to dig deeper into our failures and shortcomings. But what if that’s not what he meant at all? In this powerful sermon from 2 Corinthians 13:5–10, Pastor Tim reminds us that self- examination isn’t about seeing how sinful we are, but about seeing who is in us — Jesus Christ. When we learn to look inward and find Christ instead of condemnation, shame loses its power, and the gospel takes its rightful place at the center of our hearts. Come be reminded that in Christ, your sin no longer defines you — your Savior does.
