Fear of God vs. Fear of Man
Feb 22, 2026 • Ted Rastatter
MP: The fear of God produces freedom -- but the fear of people enslaves us to them.
A few questions-
- What controls my emotional highs and lows?
- Does criticism crush me and praise inflate me?
- Does someone’s disapproval linger longer than God’s promises?
- Are we more concerned with looking stupid in front of people or acting sinfully before God?
- Am I a chameleon? Do I change to fit my surroundings?
Three Points:
- Stop performing for people
- Love people enough to risk losing them
- Give Jesus the glory we've wanted for ourselves
