I Give Up: Trying to Please Everyone (Sermon)

   Life lessons from the wilderness. 

Where Is It Written:

Read Matthew 3:1-12.

What was John's central message? (Compare this with Jesus' message in Matthew 4:17.)

What did John eat and wear? What did John do?

As you read his words, what tone do you imagine for his voice?


Read Matthew 11:1-11.

Why do you think John was looking for additional clarification or assurance about Jesus?

What does Jesus tell us about John's life?


Read Galatians 1:10 and 1 Corinthians 10:24.

How does living to please God help us better love and serve people?


How Goes Your Walk:

Do you struggle with "people-pleasing?" Why or why not?

How does anchoring your life in God help you love others better?

How are you most wanting to grow in emotional health?
