Approval Rating

Whose approval are you living for?

In this sermon from our Gospel of John series, we dive into John 12:37–50 to discover how the approval we seek shapes the life we live. Jesus performed undeniable miracles, yet many still refused to believe. Others believed in Him privately but were afraid to follow Him publicly because they valued the approval of people more than the approval of God.

This Bible teaching challenges us to examine where fear may be keeping us from wholehearted faith. If you've ever struggled with **overcoming fear of people**, standing firm in your beliefs, or fully **following Jesus**, this message is for you.

Big Idea:
*The approval you seek becomes the authority you obey.*

In this message, you'll discover:
• Why a resistant heart can see God's work and still refuse to respond.
• The difference between private belief and public allegiance to Jesus.
• What it means to receive Jesus not only as Savior, but also as Lord.
• How to overcome the fear of people's opinions and follow Christ with confidence.

Whether you're exploring Christianity, growing in your faith, or studying the **Gospel of John**, we pray this **Bible teaching** encourages you to seek God's approval above all else and follow Jesus with courage.
