  • Love Others - Invite
    2023/09/26

    Love others by inviting them to experience a deeper relationship with Jesus.

    See John 1:35-37, 43

    Jesus invites us to follow Him.  The questions are – do I believe Jesus is worth following, will I choose to follow Him, and what do I need to give up to follow Him?

    Invite them to:

                   Jesus

                Church

                Small group

                Dgroup 

                   Pray

  • Help Others by mentoring
    2023/08/22

    Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.        Proverbs 27:17

     

    "A lot of people have gone further than they thought they could because someone else thought they could.” - Zig Ziglar

     

    Mentors are people who share their wisdom to provide insight and guidance as a person encounters challenges along their journey.

    • ·        Give advice (their journey, what they experienced)
    • ·        talk through problems
    • ·        mentee drives the relationship
    • ·        not always timebound

     

    Coaches often have expertise in the same field as the people they’re helping. They’re usually trained as coaches and have strong management skills. 

    • ·        Develop specific skills
    • ·        provide feedback
    • ·        coach drives the relationship
    • ·        timebound relationship

     

    1. Someone you are helping
    2. Someone helping you
    3. Jesus helping everyone

    So He got up from supper, laid aside His robe, took a towel, and tied it around Himself. Next, He poured water into a basin and began to wash His disciples’ feet and to dry them with the towel tied around Him.       John 13:4-5

  • Loves others by telling them about Jesus
    2023/08/01

    honor the Messiah as Lord in your hearts. Always be ready to give a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you. However, do this with gentleness and respect,        1 Peter 3:15-16

     

    How do you share Jesus?  Share what you know.

    Tell how He has blessed you!

    Tell about scripture you just read and understood!

    Tell about how He blessed someone else!

    Tell how He saved you from sin!

    Tell how to be saved – see blackberrywisdom.com/romans-road/ 

     

    But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come on you, and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem(City), in all Judea(state) and Samaria(N America), and to the ends(earth) of the earth.    Acts 1:8

  • Love Others with Honor
    2023/07/25

    Hypocrites The word hypocrite came into English from the Greek word hypokrites, which means “an actor” or “a stage player.” It refers to any person who was wearing a figurative mask and pretending to be someone or something they were not.

    To me, honoring someone is to put their wants and needs ahead of mine or to show respect toward others with the idea that they are more important than me. It is rooted in being humble, and in our world today, humbleness is not valued or applauded.

    Jesus demonstrated the ultimate humility through His example on earth. He said in Matthew 20:28 that He came to this world not to be served but to serve. We should learn to be humble and serve others just like Jesus.
