Questions to think about:
How should we think about celebrity pastors?
Can you serve God from a place of Fame or does it put too much pressure on you?
Is it easier to fall from Grace when you’re famous?
Scriptures to consider:
1 Corinthians 1:11 - “Follow me as I follow after Christ”
1 Timothy 3:1-3 - "If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task. 2Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, 3not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money."
1 Corinthians 10:31 - "So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God."
John 12:43 - "For they loved the glory that comes from man more than the glory that comes from God."
