Summary
If we don't know the character of God, it's impossible to know how to please Him. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how, if we intend to please God, we need to recognize what actions bring Him pleasure and those that invite His wrath. We find examples of people pleasing God in every book of the Bible, and Pastor Allen offers insight on what this looks like in Daniel's life and the parable of the talents. These stories show a variety of behaviors that led to God's trust and reward, and those that caused His displeasure. We cannot continue to make decisions that go against God's Word and expect Him to continue to extend His blessings. But when we live our lives from a posture of wanting to please Him with our time, energy, and resources, He promises His grace and protection.
