We must know our own worth
Our worth is found in God’s perspective
We are called “more than conquerors”
We are called sons of God

appreciation of our own uniqueness
and self worth. Each of us has
something to give that no one else has.

as sheep to be slaughtered.

conquerors through him who loved us.

mighty power. Put on the full armor of God
so that you can take your stand against the
devil's schemes. For our struggle is not
against flesh and blood, but against the
rulers, against the authorities, against the
powers of this dark world and against the
spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
– Ephesians 6:10-12 –
