What Makes You Tick

Aug 28, 2005Dr. John KingMotivation and StressPeaceful Living in a Stressful World

This message discusses the internal motivations that drive our actions and responses to stress. The speaker contrasts two biblical figures, Saul, who represents a driven life, and John the Baptist, who embodies a called life. Saul's drivenness leads to his downfall, characterized by a focus on achievement, status, and a disregard for integrity. In contrast, John the Baptist exemplifies a life of purpose, stewardship, and submission to Christ, leading to peace and joy. The message encourages listeners to reflect on their motivations and consider how they can shift from a driven to a called life.

1 Samuel 9:11 Samuel 9:21 Samuel 11:11 Samuel 13:81 Samuel 15:3Luke 1:11-19John 3:27John 3:28John 3:29John 3:30
