Character over Gifts

Fame isn’t bad.

How do Christians handle platforms?

Be impressed with God

Otherwise the praise will mean more to you than what God says about you

Be Honest with God

Tell Him how much you love praise, let Him fill those spaces

Be invested in your community

There will be no better place for you to work out these things.

Share your platform

It helps you not make things about you.

Giftedness does not always equate to a person’s character

The Lord and the local community are vital. Be encouraged, but they aren’t Jesus.

Fame isn’t Bad.

Luke 5:15-16 “But the news about him spread even more, and large crowds would come together to hear him and to be healed of their sicknesses. Yet he often withdrew to deserted places and prayed.”

When Jesus’ fame grew, He constantly disappeared to be with God.
