You Were Never a Mistake | Pastor Kris Segrest | The Truth About Your Identity

This powerful message takes us into the origin story of Moses, revealing a profound truth that echoes through eternity: our value is determined not by what we accomplish, but by whose we are. Through the dramatic account of a Hebrew baby hidden in a basket among the reeds, we discover that before Moses ever parted the Red Sea or led a nation, his worth was already settled in the eyes of his parents and ultimately in God's design. The sermon draws stunning parallels between Moses and Jesus—both targets of murderous kings, both preserved through divine intervention, both deliverers of God's people. We're challenged to see ourselves in this narrative: like Moses floating in that tar-covered basket, we too are protected by something far greater than our circumstances. The blood of Christ covers us just as that pitch sealed the basket against the dangerous waters. This isn't just ancient history; it's a direct confrontation with the lies many of us believe about ourselves—that we're mistakes, that we lack value, that our past defines our future. The message calls us to embrace our true identity as masterpieces created by God, protected by His hand, and destined for purposes beyond our imagination. When we understand our origin in Christ, everything changes—our self-perception, our mission, and our eternal significance.Learn more about us at thecross.comWatch more messages at thecross.com/watch
