Getting into Character (Part 2): Respect by Don Campbell

I Peter 2:13-17
Q: Why do Americans struggle with disrespect?
A: Respect & honor are signs of submission.

Remember: Your witness is at stake...so give honor for the Lord's sake.

Romans 13:7
Give honor and respect to those who are due it

Acts 23:1-5
Honor the position even if they lack the character

Respect means to take another look or to focus attention.

The power of the spiritual teaching of Jesus comes with the message that God is focused o YOU!

Why respect other who don't respect me?
Golden Rule & WWJD rule.

Dear Lord,
Help me view EVERY person I meet today as someone worthy of the blood sacrifice of your Son.

Getting into Character (Part 1): Humility by Don Campbell

Do you want to be a happy person?
Do you want to be led by the Spirit?
Do you want to avoid destruction of your personal life?

If you answered, "Yes" then you must have this character trait.

Pride is a choice we make when we rely upon ourselves instead of on others or on God.

God hates pride...
Proverbs 16:5,18
Proverbs 18:12

but He loves the humble
Philippians 2:3-11

You might be prideful if...
  1. Prideful people view submission as a weakness
    Proverbs 3:5-6
    1 Peter 3:4

  2. Prideful people are quick to judge other, but not themselves
    Luke 18:9-14
    I John 1:8,10

  3. Prideful people are drunk on their own self-importance
    Romans 12:3,16

  4. Prideful people are too selfish to be empathetic
    Romans 12:15
God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble (James 4:6)
