About This Message
Tracing Pilate's handling of Jesus's trial across John 18-19, Pastor Addison identifies people-pleasing as Pilate's core sin: a man who repeatedly declared Jesus innocent yet still had Him beaten and handed over rather than face the crowd's anger. He warns that people-pleasing can even keep someone from truly trusting Christ, and urges believers to care only about pleasing God.
Key Takeaways
- Pilate repeatedly found no fault in Jesus but condemned Him anyway.
- People-pleasing can lead to harming others just to keep peace.
- The cure for people-pleasing is caring only what God says.
