YOU Are Gods VIP!

At the heart of this message lies a profound question that echoes through Psalm 8—a question David himself wrestled with as he gazed at the heavens: Why do we matter? Why does God care about human beings when the universe is so vast and magnificent? This isn't just ancient poetry; it's the cry of every heart that has ever felt ordinary, overlooked, or invisible. We live in a world that constantly measures our worth by achievements, appearances, and social status, yet this message reminds us of a radical truth: we are VIPs in God's eyes not because of what we've done, but because of who created us.

This sermon walks us through powerful biblical accounts where people were brought to Jesus—by friends who tore through a roof, by parents who pushed past disciples, by a Samaritan woman whose testimony transformed a town, and even by enemies who intended harm. Each story reveals the same truth: it doesn't matter how we get to Jesus, only that we get there. The crumpled fifty-dollar bill illustration drives this home beautifully—no matter how life has wrinkled, stomped on, or damaged us, our value remains intact because it was placed there by the One with ultimate authority. We are chosen, not forsaken. We are children of God, crowned with glory and honor, put in charge of His creation. When we truly grasp this identity, it transforms not just how we see ourselves, but how we see others and how we live out our faith in a world desperate to know they matter too.
