We must each decide if we are going to live to please God or live to please people.

John 12:42-43 (NKJV)- Nevertheless even among the rulers many believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue; 43 for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God

The Mind of People Pleasers

1. They want the approval of man more than the approval of God.
2. They fear the displeasure of man more than the displeasure of God.
3. They use flattery to manipulate others.
4. They choose the easy way rather than the right way.
5. They are willing to compromise truth for convenience.
6. They push difficult responsibilities on others.
7. They seek to make friends with important People.

People Pleasers have a vision Problem.

1. We need a big vision of God
2. We need to view ourselves in light of Christ.
3. Get your identity from Christ, not people.

Text: Acts 24

Theme:  Enemy of the Bible: The Procrastinator

Notes:

The Gospel demands urgent action because time is limited, and the enemy is fighting against us

The Mind of a procrastinator

1. They are curious but not serious.
2. They are spiritual but not Biblical.
3. They choose convenience over expedience.
4. They are more concerned about the sensual and temporal than the spiritual and eternal things.
5. They Avoid conviction whenever possible.

Why you shouldn’t procrastinate

1. You don’t know when the moment of opportunity will pass.
2. You don’t know when you will die.
3. You don’t know when Christ will return.
4. The more you know, the more you are responsible for.
5. Now is the time to respond to God’s goodness.

Theme: Freedom that Lasts

Text: Mark 5:1-20

Notes:

Jesus Christ delivers desperate sinners who will declare His salvation to others.

1. We see a slave who is desperate
2. We see a savior who delivers.
3. We see a servant who declares.

Live it out

1. Remember our Savior suffered to serve.
2. Remember that God uses imperfect servants.
3. Remember that we are most like Jesus when we bring gospel hope to desperate people.
4. Remember we were delivered to declare.
