FACING CRITICISM

Gal. 2:11-14

Pastor Rick Jackson

 We all face criticism at one time or another... and another and another, etc. What do we do with criticism? What if its constructive criticism? What if it’s true? What do we do with criticism? How do we face it?

I. EVALUATE

1. Consider the Source! (Gal. 2:11-14, Jn. 12:1-8)

2. Consider the Seriousness! (Gal. 2:11-14, 2 Corinthians 13:5) Paul had to criticize Peter's actions. Is it valid?

3. Consider the Scriptures! (Gal. 1:10, Acts 4:19, 17:11, Jn. 5:39)

II. EVICT

1. Do away with Vengeance (Rm. 12:18-21)

2. Do away with Vanity (I Co. 15:31, Jn. 12:24) No pity parties allowed!

3. Do away with Values of the world (Jm. 3:13-4:10)

III. INVOLVE

1. The Saviour in Prayer (Acts 9:6, Lk. 22:42, 1 Jn. 1:9)

2. The Spirit in Performance (Gal. 5:16-26)

3. The Scriptures in Preparation (Psalm 119:1-16)
