Week 1: Who Are You Trying to Please?
8/30/2026
Main Passage: 2 Corinthians 5:14-15
Who are we trying to please in life? We all start by trying to please ourselves by default. But paradoxically this doesn’t actually lead to a joyful life. Instead, we should learn to live for the One who made us, loves us, and saves us. Living to please the Lord actually gives us the life we were created for.
