Dealing with Criticism

Sometimes we allow things in this world to become so important to us that they begin to become a part of our very identity. Sadly, whenever something becomes a part of our identity we often find it very difficult to listen to feedback in that area. In Mark 11 Jesus challenges the religious leaders about something that was very important to them and we find that they were unable to genuinely consider his critique. By watching how the religious leaders respond to Jesus challenge we can learn a lot about ourselves and the ways we often respond to criticism. The message concludes by seeing how Jesus continues to challenge us even today whenever we allow anything other than his glory to become preeminent in our lives.
