Understanding the Powers | Approval

from Sunday Encouragement · host Second Baptist Waycross

Approval is one of the most subtle powers we face because it often disguises itself as something good. In this devotion, Pastor Daniel Harding explores Jesus’ warning in Matthew 6 about performing righteousness to be seen by others and how the pursuit of praise can quietly replace trust in God. Looking at Ephesians 6 and Proverbs 27:21, this episode challenges us to ask whether approval has become a power shaping our identity more than the faithfulness of Christ.
