Audience of One

Last week we focused on magnifying God through our weaknesses. 1 Cor This week, we focus on the purpose of our service to God: to magnify and rejoice in His name, and to please Him through our thoughts, words, and actions… in everything! Introduction

Everything I Do I Do it For God

Everything I Do I Do it For God Why is it we do what we do? To gain recognition or compliments? To make or win over friends? To uphold a reputation or simply “look good” before others? In these instances our main audience is men. Everything I Do I Do it For God

Everything I Do I Do it For God Is pleasing men wrong? No. cp. 1 Cor. 11:31-33; Rom. 15:1-2 Our focus, however, is to ultimately do everything to please our God. With this motivation, we will actually “please men” in a manner that ultimately pleases God. Everything I Do I Do it For God

From Closet to Street Corner

From Closet to Street Corner No Better Example Than Jesus He perfectly exampled a life where everything He did was with God in mind. Practically: fear no man (Matt. 10:24-31); live and teach a life in full service to God (Matt. 6:5-6). Matthew 14:22-23 From Closet to Street Corner

From Closet to Street Corner Our worship (pray and praise) is to Him. We worship none other than Him. Matt. 4:10 We joyfully teach and admonish one another to give thanks to and exalt in Him alone. Eph. 5:19 From Closet to Street Corner

From Closet to Street Corner Our service is to God. 1 Cor. 6:20 We work for Him… no matter who we work for. Eph. 6:5-7 We serve Him when no one is looking. And, when we serve others “as unto the Lord” God blesses us beyond measure. cp. Eph. 6:8; 1 Pet. 3:1-2 From Closet to Street Corner
