VERY PUBLIC PRAISE Matthew 10:27
SHOULD IT BE PUBLIC? • Consider Matthew 6:5-6 • Consider also John 11:38-42 • Our focus should be on God and His approval not on man’s • Be honest! What is your focus?
VERY PUBLIC PRAISE • Acts 12:20-23 – not giving public praise • Luke 13:10-13 • Luke 17:11-16 • Luke 18:35-43 • Acts 3:1-12 • Acts 16:16-25
Conclusion • Are we too ashamed and embarrassed? • Are we too concerned about what others will think? • Give God the glory and the credit (be more purposeful and meaningful than just “Thank God”) • Beyond God deserving such glory… we will also bring others too Him (Acts 16:25ff)
Lk. 19:35-40 Must the stones cry out today?
