Perseverance by Daryl Greer

Last time Daryl spoke, he talked about uncertainity. Once the time of uncertainity passes, we are usually weary, so we need persevere.

Perseverance
Continuing is a course of action without regard to descouragment, opposition, or previous failure.

Per - se - verence
"by means of the truth"

"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."

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)

Shepherding a Child's Heart: Commander by Don Campbell

There are different stages of a child's growth process, so parents have to wear different hats. Here is a synopsis of what Don covered last year. Listen to the previous sermon here.
  1. Commander - children need to obey the first time
  2. Coach - parents teach children how to act in life situations
  3. Counselor - "mandatory counseling" - a conversation about dealing with life.
  4. Consultant - A consultant does not call you. You call them and hire them for their advice.
Previous sermons dealing with Parenting and Children by Don.

Today we will be focusing on Stage 1: Commander (Infancy to Childhood).

Objective for this Stage: To teach them that they are under authority.

Ephesians 6:1-3
(a covenant blessing)
  • Honor
  • Obedience - To do what you are told, without challenge, without excuse, and without delay
  • Discipline
Hebrews 12:11 - Discipline is about Restoration NOT Retribution

Remember: The HEART is the battleground
