About this episode

Pastor Marcus Lane discusses the dangers of jealousy and people-pleasing while highlighting the joy of faithfulness in his sermon on Acts.

Pastor Marcus Lane continues our series on Acts, Vol. 1 with a message titled The Gospel Arrested . In this sermon, Pastor Marcus has us consider the danger of jealousy, the danger of people-pleasing, and the joy of faithfulness. Scripture Reading: Acts 5:17-42 Digging Deeper Questions: Notice how the fruit of the Sadducess jealousy causes them to act unjustly in arresting the apostles. Have you ever similarly seen the painful fruit of jealousy in your own life? What is the antidote to jealousy? How does the example of the apostles give us a template for how we can resist the temptation to give in to people-pleasing? When you compare the fruit of jealousy and people-pleasing to the fruit of faithfulness, how does the path of faithfulness begin to look more like freedom and joy? Where have you seen the fruit of faithfulness in your own life and relationships?
