Power over Pressure

John 8:12-19, 23-31

Jesus was familiar with pressure!

Proclaim "the promise"(John 8:12)

Rely on God, not man(John 5:30)

When you try to please everyone Three things cause us to crumble:

criticism, competition, conflict

Evaluate and organize(John 8:14)

See the plan(Luke 4:43)

Discovering the best plan:

What do I have to do?

What are my strengths?

What is the most fullfilling?

Seek help(Mark 6:7)

Two things stifle delegation: Perfectionism and Insecurity

Unify your thoughts(Mark 1:35)

Recreate(Matthew 19:14)

Enjoy life(Matthew 11:28-30)
