Big idea: How do we break the scorecard


Main Point- Letting God level the playing field ( God’s not fair, he's final)


Prophetic Thought: Life can seem unfair at times. We are sold a picture of "happily ever after"—a world of accurate love matches and perfect endings. Yet, every day paints a different picture. We find ourselves trapped in a scorecard of comparison, measuring our worth by what we lack and what others have. When we live by the scorecard, we invite hatred, indifference, resentment, and bitterness to take root in our hearts. These shadows slowly erode our self-worth, leading us to ask the soul's deepest question: "Am I truly worthy of love?" This is precisely where the Advent message of Love meets us. It doesn't meet us where we should be; it meets us exactly where we are. God’s love levels the playing field. It is not a prize for the "winners" or a reward for the perfect, but a gift given for all to receive.
