We started a new series at Cedarcrest Church called Behind the Curtain. Below I have typed out some of my notes from George’s message on Character…
Series: Behind the Curtain
Message: Character (Week 1)
Character-Doing what God says is right regardless of the cost. (Andy Stanley)
What does a life of Character look like? (Proverbs 11:1-3)
v1-A life of Character delights in honesty
v2-A life of Character walks in humility (wisdom)
v3-A life of Character is guided by integrity
2 common reasons why people lack Character:
We value achievement over character (Proverbs 28:6)
We value fulfillment over character (Proverbs 20:17)
Where character is lacking relationships suffer.
3 ways to develop good Character:
1. Trust the Word of God (Proverbs 3:5-6)
2. Spend time with people of character (Psalm 1:1)
3. Find your hope in Christ (Romans 5:3-5)
Where do you turn when life gets hard?
Lack of integrity leads to destruction.
