Leave False Reality | Pastor John Eaton |Living the New You| 02/15/2026

What if your entire life was shaped by something that wasn’t even true?

In this eye-opening message, we explore how false beliefs become false realities—and how those realities quietly shape our identity, our choices, and even our understanding of God.

From the powerful psychological lessons of the Milgram experiment to Jesus’ parable of the prodigal son in Gospel of Luke 15, this sermon challenges us to examine the narratives we’ve built in our own minds.

The younger son believed:

Freedom meant leaving his father

Satisfaction meant spending everything

Identity meant defining life on his own

But sin always sells a dream and delivers a nightmare.

When he “came to his senses,” everything changed.

This message will challenge you to:

Stop believing your own press

Question the false narratives excusing sin or fear

Refuse to let feelings become your authority

Embrace your restored identity in Christ

You are not still condemned.
You are not still defined by your worst moment.
You are not still wearing a scar God has already removed.

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” — Second Epistle to the Corinthians 5:17

God is calling you to leave false reality and step into the new and true reality He has prepared for you.
