Week 1:
"The Approval Monster Pt. 1"
Why do we seek the approval of others?
"Our problem isn't that we love ourselves too little; it is that we love ourselves too much and it has made us insecure."
From whom should we seek approval?
Matthew 22:34-40 NKJV
I John 4:7-11, 18-19 NKJV
I John 3:20 NKJV
I Corinthians 4:3-4 NKJV
Why is accepting/embracing God's approval so important?
1. It is based on His love, character, and efforts, not ours!
2. It allows us to love others without reservation or expectations.
3. It keeps us from waffling when others disagree with our beliefs.
4. It keeps us from needing it or demanding it from others.
Psalms 63:1-5 NKJV
