Pressure From The Crowd

Episode 206

Angus Buchan

Uncle Angus encourages us to not give in to peer pressure but rather to stand up for righteousness.

Luke 23:22-25
"Then he said to them the third time, 'Why, what evil has He done? I have found no reason for death in Him. I will therefore chastise Him and let Him go.' But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices that He be crucified. And the voices of these men and of the chief priests prevailed. So Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they requested. And he released to them the one they requested, who for rebellion and murder had been thrown into prison; but he delivered Jesus to their will."

Wisdom

Jeremiah 9:23–24, Matthew 6:33, Zechariah 4:6

Jeremiah 9:23-24. If God has blessed us with a good IQ, wealth or strength, we must not glory in it, but know that it is by God's grace and blessing alone. The only thing we can glory in is that we understand and know the Lord. Matthew 6:33. Zachariah 4:6. All Glory be to God.

Time is up

Jeremiah 8:20

Jeremiah 8:20. If you have not given your life to Jesus Christ, please do it. A farmer understands about seasons, you cannot be too slow to harvest a crop when it is ready to be harvested. If you have drifted from the Lord, then you need to repent, because Jesus is coming back soon.

Remember His favour

1 Samuel 7:12, Luke 9:62

Samuel 7:12. Luke 9:62. It is good to remember the things we have been through and that the Lord has been with us all the way through the past. It encourages us as we think about how far we have come because of God's hand on us. He will also be with us right through to the end.
