Do you feel like you are too much or not enough? This insecurity compels us to compare ourselves with others as we spend countless hours on a works treadmill running ourselves weary as we try to measure up. The truth is we will never find the acceptance and worth our hearts yearn for by comparing ourselves to or competing with others because the unending approval that God offers us in Jesus is beyond compare. 

This 2023 Women's Fall Gathering from Central Bible Church includes a talk from Jenny Black, showing from Scripture the value we have in Christ and how it frees us from comparison.
