Connect with self—Tim Chilvers (15 March 2026)

About this episode

Tim Chilvers discusses self-perception and God's grace in relation to Romans 12:3.

Tim Chilvers speaks on Romans 12:3. as part of our Life series. How do you really see yourself? In the second talk of our Connected Life series, we explore Romans 12:3 and the challenge to think of ourselves with “sober judgment.” In a culture where we are so often dominated by pride or insecurity, this message shows how God’s grace frees us from both. When we begin to see ourselves through the lens of God’s mercy, it changes not only how we view ourselves, but how we live and relate to others. At Riverside we are on a journey together to help people get to know Jesus and grow as his followers across Birmingham and beyond. Whoever you are, whatever you believe, you're so welcome in this community. Find out more about Riverside Church & plan your visit: riverside-church.org.uk
