I Don’t Care What People Think - Day 3 of 5

Five-day devotional based on the message, "I Don't Care What People Think" by Discipleship Pastor Ryan Akers on June 8, 2025. Click here to watch the video.

Devotional
When we understand that we already have God's approval through Christ, we can embrace a life of freedom and peace. Paul assured the Thessalonians that they were approved by God to carry the Good News, reminding us that our worth is not based on what others think but on what God says about us. By living from God's approval, we can confidently fulfill our mission to share the gospel without fear of rejection. We are called to honor God with our lives, trusting in His approval and love.

Bible Verse
"For we speak as messengers approved by God to be entrusted with the Good News. Our purpose is to please God, not people. He alone examines the motives of our hearts."
— 1 Thessalonians 2:4

Reflection Question
How does knowing you are approved by God change the way you approach your daily interactions and responsibilities?

Sermon Quote
"If you live for people’s praise, you’ll be exhausted and ineffective. But if you live from God’s approval, you’ll walk in freedom, courage, and clarity."

Prayer
Gracious Father, thank You for Your approval. Help me to live from this truth and to boldly share Your message with those around me. Amen.
