Encouragement

Francis Chan - Think Hard, Stay Humble.

We’ve been studying about Christ… but does our life look anything like HIM? (wow convicted)

1 Corinthians 8:1b-
Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up. 

How can I build up people with the knowledge I have?
How hard do you think about people, the lost?
Do you learn because of Love. If we love one another- God will abide in us (1 John 4:12)
Knowledge is essential but not sufficient.
LOVE BUILDS UP. Constantly thinking of others more than thinking of yourself.
Constantly thinking- how can I build people around me?

Why did God gift you the way he did? it’s not for us, but for His glory.

Instead of bragging about useless things, brag about knowing God and being known by God. (Galatians 4:9)

Are you able to say it like Paul- Imitate me like how I imitate Christ (1 Corinthians 11:1)
Do you look like Jesus?
Do you act like Jesus?
do you LOVE like Jesus?

Would anyone say that about you?
The day I spent with him/her is the closest thing I experienced to walking with Jesus.

What do you want to be known for? I would want people to say s/he’s a lot like Jesus.
