- SUMMARY
Has there ever been a time in your life when you were frustrated or complained because something didn’t make sense to you? Because you didn’t get what you wanted? As we continue our series, 7 Deadly Sins of Suburbia, JP teaches us about the sin of entitlement by studying Luke 14:1-14.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
-What are things we feel entitled to? Comfort, health, time, food, money, safety, salvation, love…what is it for you?
-Want to know a sure fire way to know what you feel entitled to? What do you complain about? Whatever you complain about, that’s what you are entitled about.
-Don’t fall victim to a counterfeit version of Christianity and be OK with it.
-Should Christians ever take the best seat?
-Entitlement is focusing on what you deserve.
-As Christians, we are to use whatever God has entrusted us with to serve others.
-Discomfort kills entitlement. There is no comfortable solution to entitlement.
-Entitlement is the air we breathe. It impacts everything about us.
-For entitled people, it rarely feels like things are going their way.
-Entitlement leads to disappointment.
-Every disappointment you’ve ever experienced comes from your expectations.
-Entitled people are perpetually frustrated.
-You cannot be thankful for what you feel entitled to.
-Christians in America have a lot to be thankful for, and on the whole, we are terrible at being grateful for most of it.
-Want to grow in gratitude? Ask God to take away anything you aren’t grateful for.
-Grateful people always win. Entitled people always lose.
-We change entitlement by changing our perspective.
-What is your role in “the party” that is life? The host, or the guest? Make no mistake, as a Christian, it’s always the host.
-We are masters at manipulating the rules or the system in our favor.
-The Christian (or biblical) worldview says life on this world is a limited amount of time to serve as many people as you can serve before spending forever in heaven with God.
-All we actually deserve is hell. However, an infinitely good God gave us everything we need to be with Him through Christ.
-If something is true, even if no one around you lives or acts like it, it is still true.
-The gospel kills entitlement.
-Practicing gratitude kills entitlement.
-Ask people near you this week: am I a grateful person? Does gratitude mark my life?
-Ask God what you are entitled to.

I like this guy. Discovered him not too long ago. Hes got it
Wonderful dude. He is extremely authentic
Go check out some of his sermons from The Porch he’s had a lot of really good ones over the years especially when it comes to real life application. Hands down my favorite preacher!
This message was exactly what I needed to hear, I can find myself being so entitled. I call it "main character syndrome", where I have to remind myself that the world doesn't revolve around me. Great message and reminder that we have to humble ourselves before the Lord!
This is powerful! Hes not afraid to step on toes and thats the preaching this country needs right now
Life changing sermon!!!
This is exactly what I needed. His work is helping my marriage get back on track
I am entitlement free. That's why I am grateful just feel the warm water on my body each morning.
