MAN-PLEASER OR GOD-PLEASER?
Galatians 1:10-24
June 21, 2026
Sermon by Kevin Pitts
Opener: What are some worldly definitions of manhood that you see?
A REAL MAN DOESN'T SEEK POPULARITY. What are some ways you are tempted by popularity? What are some specific things you've been tempted to compromise on so that you would be (or remain) "popular"?A REAL MAN SUBMITS HIMSELF TO GOD: What is the hardest thing about submission for you? A REAL MAN REFUSES TO COMPROMISE ON GOD'S WORD. What are some ways you have learned to refuse compromise yet do so lovingly and graciously?A REAL MAN IS NOT SELF-PROMOTING. What are some ways people tend to promote themselves? In what ways do you know you seek positive attention, yet have felt convicted to stop doing so? A REAL MAN BOWS TO THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD AND FIXATES ON THE GRACE OF GOD. How can we do this in our prayer life? In our worship? A REAL MAN DEVOTES HIS LIFE TO GOD'S MISSION. Who are some people that God has uniquely called YOU to share Jesus with? (Add them to your CG prayer list this week.)A REAL MAN'S MOST IMPORTANT RELATIONSHIP IS WITH GOD. In what ways do we sinfully elevate other human relationships above our relationship with God? A REAL MAN SPENDS TIME WITH JESUS. How do you do this? In what ways do you want to grow?A REAL MAN GIVES GOD GLORY. What are some practical ways we can bring attention to God rather than ourselves? Who is someone that exemplifies this to you and how? What has God revealed to you about your own man-pleasing ways? How can we pray for you?
