On Peoples’ Opinions

​This sermon titled "On Peoples’ Opinions" addresses the anxiety stemming from concerns about others' perceptions. It emphasizes that while some fears are valid, many anxieties arise from undue emphasis on others' approval. Drawing from scriptures like 1 Thessalonians 2:4, which states, "We aren’t trying to please people, but... God," this sermon encourages believers to prioritize God's approval over human validation. It highlights that societal norms often mislead individuals into seeking fulfillment through others' acceptance, a pursuit that leaves one perpetually unsatisfied. By examining Jesus' example, who remained steadfast in His mission despite external pressures, the sermon urges believers to align their actions with God's will, finding identity and peace in divine purpose rather than in fluctuating human opinions.
