What is the foundation of your approval before God? Is it based on how your most recent sermon went; or is it based upon the once and for all work of Jesus on your behalf? Since we are justified by faith it means that we are accepted, loved and approved by God entirely on the basis of Christ’s work on our behalf.Pete Nelson speaks on the importance of knowing our identity in Christ, and how that impacts our public ministry and allows us to find our own voice and be comfortable in our own skin.This was recorded in Bradenton Florida on December 1 2018.As a pastor, musician and evangelist, Pete Nelson’s worldwide travels have given him a unique perspective on the church as well as the global need for the gospel.
