There is a lot of cultural pressure today to conform to the latest majority opinion. Groupthink can be intimidating, and the “majority consensus” often causes people to either go silent in order to avoid ridicule, or to conform in order to fit in. But Paul said in Galatians 1:10, “If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.” In other words, we can’t be a God-pleaser and a man-pleaser at the same time. Godly men and women in the Bible have always been willing to stand alone when necessary. Join today’s Bible study as Pastor Gary encourages us to stop listening to the majority and to start honoring God.
00:00 - Stop Listening to the Majority
10:33 - Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect” - Mark Twain
11:50 - Dr. Solomon Ash Study on conformity
16:23 - Galatians 1:10
17:38 - “ A lie doesn't become truth, wrong doesn’t become good, just because it’s accepted by a majority” - Booker T. Washington
23:40 - Picture illustration of needing to be willing to stand alone when necessary.
24:47 - Religious leaders in Jesus’ day were condemned because: “They loved the praise of men more than the praise of God” (john 12:43)
25:01 - Peter and the other apostles were commended because they said “…We ought to obey God rather than men.” (Acts 5:29)
25:28 - Proverbs 29:25 - “The fear of man brings a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord shall be safe.”

Tuning in from England. We are in a very dark time here - i didn't think i'd witness the fall of the UK in my life time. Thank God for preachers like Pastor Gary, his teaching is outstanding.
Youre right, the world has gone its own way and they revel in the insanity.
2Tim.3&4 - ‘itching ears’ seems so relevant for England / UK at the moment, but … challenge creates opportunity so we’ve just got to keep sowing God’s word in season and out of season because one day, someone will thank us for having done so 😊
Love Ps Gary’s teaching
It's all just further evidence that we're heading the end.
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Jesus never said the time leading up to the end was gonna be a picnic.
@@someguy9519 In 2005, a Harvard doctor (Dr Christian Smith), who now teaches at Notre Dame coined the term " Moralistic therapeutic deism" to describe the young adult generation that is making a God out of humanitarian causes. "I want to do good(moral). It makes me feel good (therapeutic). They jump on the bandwagon of the latest cause, the latest humanitarian thing (make a God out of it) without doing their homework. They don't know their facts, can't defend it and come off looking like a fool.
Same here in America! I don’t recognize her anymore. 😢😢
I am a Chinese Christian, have been listening to Pastor Gary's preaches for two years. Praise the Lord who give Pastor the courage to speak God's words.
This is so appropriate of what is happening today. Stand up. Have integrity. Stand in your Truth.
I’m standing in HIS Truth because there truly is only ONE Truth.
@@cathyjackson9845Amen!
Plus Go Red in 2024. Spread the Gospel too!! Death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ paid for are sins that we may be righteous enough to be in the presence of God thru faith alone not of works. John3;16 Eph.2;8,9 Harpoza soon. God bless in Jesus Christ Name 🙏
THANK YOU PASTOR GARY HAMRICK YOU ARE JUST WHAT WE NEED TO HEAR TO PREPARE FOR OUR LAST DAYS.
Thank you for encouraging us to get over being disliked. This is essential to being an authentic Christian. The word tells us that those who want to live a godly life WILL be persecuted. Lord, help us to stand completely alone if need be. Holy Spirit, fill us with boldness and courage for the sake of Christ. God bless Gary Hamrick for speaking truth unashamedly and unapologetically.
Amen 🙏
❤
Thank You Lord for revealing those who dislike the Christian message as they obvi need prayer for their souls, and praying for those who dislike us is very Godly, following Jesus’s Command to pray for our enemies and for those who spitefully use us, gaining spiritual treasure. As He said, even the Heathen do good to those who do good to them, but we are to do good to our enemies ( with God’s help).
Amen. Very simple and to the point. Sadly many churches won’t preach this simple truth.
Maga MAKE aamerica Godly AGAIN
I will pray every morning to be pleasing my Lord first and foremost ❤
Thank you for preaching.Preachers today do not preach.And you are not afraid to step on toes.Keep on preaching we the people need to hear the word of god. Thank you may God Bless you and the church.
Acceptance and approval by man always leads to compromise of truth😢
AMEN 🙏 🙏 🙏 KEEP OUR EYES ON JESUS..
GOD BLESS PASTOR GARY 🙏 🙌 ❤️
We all need to pray for this country and ask God for mercy.What is happening in Israel is coming here soon.
A logical conclusion that many people refuse to face.
You are so right! We’ll need to ensure our Armor of God is on and continually in prayer❤ God bless you and yours!
I live in South Africa and I thank God for Pastor Gary. You are truly blessed. God has chosen you to connect with millions of people all around the world. Thank you for your obedience 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I found you early this morning and here it is after 1:pm and I'm still listening to your Bible teachings. Thank you pastor for your wonderful descriptive Bible brought to life teachings.
Same here!
This message was FANTASTIC!!
Grateful to have found your church and watch online every week from WA state. Thank you for speaking the word and truth!
pastor GARY HAMRICK...WE ARE SO BLESSED TO HAVE COME UPON YOUR teaching .. I'm so blessed i come upon you on that pandemic moment of 2020.,.♥️♥️♥️🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Preach it!!! I never been one to follow the masses! Thank God fir that 🙏
Brilliant message! I don't need to say any more.
SOOOOOOOO good. I bow my knee. Where are You going, Lord? What are You doing, Lord? Can I come? Can You use me? I want to be in step with You. Can You trust me to take me into battle with You? Make me more like You❤
Amen Pastor Gary. I have been telling my family in these trying times that the mob will always choose Barabbus over Jesus.
So very true
Fun fact, Barabbus means son of the Father (bar Abba). So they chose one son of the Father over another son of the Father
It's called Fear!
Fear God Not what other people think.
A very powerful message from the servant of God!!Thank you, from Philippines.
So very true and beautiful. Thank you Pastor Gary. God bless you! Watching from south africa
Thank you pastor Gary for bringing the Word of God to my understanding May God Bless your Work. Amen ! South Africa
This is such an encouraging, uplifting, and timely message! Praise the Lord!😊🕊🙌
I'm blessed to hear this today as it is one of my favorite chapters of the Bible.
I found this channel about 2 weeks ago and I am so glad I did! Pastor GaryH 28:56 is amazing and he always has an excellent word for his followers. Thank you for sharing him with me. I am from New Mexico. Hugs❤️
😊
Thank you. I have been condemned and alone since I worked for those now, causing all the trouble. I could not go along. For questioning, I was threatened I would never have anything again. My character was questioned, my car was vandalized and 8 year later, I am still alone. I help every one God puts before me. I am tired now. I hope I have a home soon. In Jesus name. Amen
@michelle
Don't give up. Nothing takes God by surprise.🙏💕
Praying for you! May God pour out blessings on you for your stand! Please be encouraged.
You're not alone. God is with you. 🙏🙏🙏
A much needed sermon.
What an insightful sermon. Thank you past. Hamrick. Watching from South 🇿🇦 🇿🇦 ❤❤
Thank you Pastor Gary! For always standing for and teaching the truth! God Bless you and your family!
In GB the majority have not lost their moral compass,but are overwhelmed by the woke evil minority and are scared to speak up because it will cost everything!! But as individuals believers in Yeshua we have to make a choice, Yeshua or the world, its that simple. LORD please give us the courage to trust You more than we fear the majority!!! Amen.
We have just discovered your channel on you tube and ritual at night is to binge watch your services . We so enjoy it. Thank you and God bless
Thankyou pastor for being bold and explaining the word in all truth.from South Africa.
The enemy uses your weakness to attack We don't like attacks but if it's for Christ - stand alone on the word of God
Boy the intro, in the shadow of Election Day, is quite on point for relating to Paul’s circumstances after being subject to the consequences of the majority’s decision.
What a blessing these teachings are!❤
God I praise you❤❤❤❤ thank you GOD for pastor Gary❤❤❤
Ty pastor. The Lord was moving in u thru this message. Direct. Truth. Comfort. Call to action kinda. Ty brother
Thanks you so much for your teaching on Acts. I am listening from California. 😎❤️🙏
Great teaching, worth accepting.
Don't ever water yourself down ...stay 100 proof
AMEN.🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️
Thankyou Lord for annointing Gary Hamrich and inspired him to present this message of standing alone from the crowd or majority backing up with expository Bibilical individual experiences. He truly confirms my personal experiences growing up in faith is to hear God through His Word encouraged by the Holy Spirit who dwelled in me and totally agree and validate his teachings. Lord continue to annoint him with appropriate messages in these troublesome times we are in. No wonder your parable of the Seed Sower in Luke 8 resulting in 100, 60 and 30 folds is verified here in Gary's Teachings. Bless him indeed. Amen.
Tun ing in from WI. Pastor Gary is an excellent Pastor/ Teacher. Love his sermons.

Pastor Gary, how may obtain a copy of the Bible you teach us from ? I found You & Corner Stone Church here on UA-cam & I’ve been binge watching you for months. You way of breaking down the Bible verse by verse is so easy to understand & I hunger for more knowledge as a Believer in Our LORD & Saviour Jesus Christ. Thank you for your Guidance of Gods WORDs & promise of Grace through Repentance
Gary hamrick ❤
Great message Amen
Do not be afraid Jesus is with you. Seek approval of God. Expect mans attack. You don't need anyone on your side but Jesus.
Help me Lord not to care if I know I'm doing what you want. Amen

MIND SET: IF WE SET OUR MIND TO JESUS OUR LORD.. THERE'S NO MAJORITY RULE.
Thank you, Pastor Gary. A great reminder!
You are so right! Look what has happened in the last 3 years!! Praying for this country!! Pray for Israel!❤❤❤
lgbtqia is the best example of majority adjustment to what God considers abomination.
Amen 🙏.
The narrow road is a lonely one.
I’m prepared to walk alone.
Keep speaking truth pastor !!!!!
Thank you for a great word❤❤❤
Pastor Gary, My pastor is reluctant to take a public position on the Israel/ Gaza war. We have Arab Christians, Arab MBB ( Muslim background believers and Messianic Jews, from USA and from Israel.
He admittedly is afraid of inviting the wrath of the liberal left who will ridicule us. RI is technically a mission field with fewer than 4% evangelicals.
I contacted him with a request to gather churches in our community for prayer for the Lord to turn hearts toward HIM (Prince of Peace). Our community has a high enough concentration of Jews that the schools are closed for the Jewish holidays. I knew that many of them are afraid and are removing mezuzah.
If you get this message, I’d be grateful for a reply. Blessings, Cathy
We also have a Coptic Christian church nearby that may or may not be willing to participate in such a prayer gathering.
I'm having the same problem with my church. I'm devastated.
@@kellypatton1220 What area is your church in? I’ll pray for you and your brothers and sisters in Christ.
Move to a bible based church or home group Australia 🙏🙏🙏
Rhode Island
GREAT SERMON!!! 😊
Amen
Thank you such a great word
Thomas Jefferson in our declaration of independence says, Its well known that people will suffer wrongs as long as they are sufferable rather than to abolish those wrongs. mj Alpine OR
Thank you Lord for such a timely and pertinent message.! God bless our pastor for allowing You to speak through him.
Bless him for sharing wisdom from the Word and inspired by the Holy Spirit! We obey God not man. We trust in the Lord!!!We want to always honor You Lord, not man. Help us Father, motivate and inspire us to honor and please Jesus and Him alone! Thank you Lord🙌🔥
Watching from South Africa and I must say I love the way you explain kingdom principles through the aid of the holyspirit never seen anything like it before. May God grant you more grace sir
Powerful message, maybe your best,God Bless you Preacher.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Amen Amen❤ Thank you Pastor!!!
What a gifted teacher😮
Thank you. From Kenya
Excellent video and teaching dear Pastor.
Another powerful message. Thank u❤
This is such an amazing and motivational sermon. Really liked Joshua 5: 13-15 where we find Lord asking Joshua to remove his sandals. Otherwise we only know about Moses when he was asked by God to remove his sandals.
Amen Amen
Amen 🙏
This is awesome. So well done. Easy to follow and understand.. inspiring. Thank you Pastor. Would love to worship at Cornerstone…..too far away. Thanks for sharing on You-Tube.
its so difficult to compare our individual walk of life vs what the majority, when looking at the democracy of our country. Especially after these past 5 years between MAGA Trump stuff vs Biden stuff, i have seen families divide and refuse talking to each other and/or not respect either's opinion or positions. I see clarity in both parties in parties in things they each bring to the table that each other sees as cons, but when you talk supporters of Trump or Biden, the view points are so extreme and they tear down either leader of our country. I am constantly praying for clarity and I agree with Gary in that we need to pray to God in finding that clarity.

It's not about "man or God" its truths or lies violation or individuality respected to the core... . If there is "truth" that's God if not its "not God's" ever. It never was too...
i've has some say, oh, you're too good for us now.....i'd say..yeah, kinda
Help! I have been trying to find in the Bible where it says that I will go to heaven but I haven't had any luck. Does anybody know where I can find that?
Hi! Give a look at the following: Genesis 1:1, John 14:2, 2 Corinthians 5-8, Luke 23:39, Phillipians 3:20-21, John 3:15, 1 Peter 1:3-5, 2 Peter 3:13. God bless you!
@@hikerhobby1204 Thank you for sharing those citations, H. H. What I am trying to find is a Scripture which says something along the lines of _"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt go to heaven."_ Unfortunately, none of the citations (as far as I could tell) say that I, a Christian, will go to heaven (explanations, below).
*Genesis 1: 1* -- no mention of heaven.
*John 14: 2* -- does not say if I will go to my "mansion" or if it will come to me here on Earth.
*2 Corinthians 5: 8* -- no mention of my going to heaven; the entire passage (vs. 1-8), as far as I can tell, is talking about the body I will get when I am resurrected here on Earth (especially vs. 2 & 4).
*Luke 23: 39* -- I suspect you meant to refer me to vs. 43; it talks about what will happen to the thief but I could find no mention of what will happen to me.
*Philippians 3: 20-21* -- says that we are looking for a Savior "from" heaven; no mention, as far as I can tell, of my going to heaven.
*John 3: 15* -- mentions eternal life but did not see any mention of my going to heaven.
*1 Peter 1: 3-5* -- does not tell me if I will go to my "inheritance" or if it will come to me here on Earth.
*2 Peter 3: 13* -- mentions the new heaven but, once again, I did not see any promise that I would go there
Pastor. Please give me email I need to talk to you. PLEASE!!!!!
