2 Kings 3:9 NASB 9 So the king of Israel went with the king of Judah and the king of Edom; and they made a circuit of seven days’ journey, and there was no water for the army or for the cattle that followed them. 2 Kings 3:16-18 NASB 16 He said, “Thus says the Lord, ‘Make this valley full of trenches.’ 17 For thus says the Lord, ‘You shall not see wind nor shall you see rain; yet that valley shall...

Colossians 3:23-24 NASB Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord and not for people, 24 knowing that it is from the Lord that you will receive the reward of the inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you serve. Empowering Leaders: ● See empowerment as more than a management style. It’s a LIFESTYLE! ● .Luke 15: Elder Brother: ■ Was critical and faultfinding ■ Focused on behavior mor...

Handle Criticism by: 1. Seeing it as a stepping-stone. We all experience criticism. The more we achieve, the more opportunity for others to 2nd-guess, compare, and belittle. Monday-morning quarterbacks are rarely ‘in-the-game.’ Those who typically can do something, do. Those who cannot, CRITICIZE! (Mark 3 - Pharisees criticized Jesus!) 2. Recognizing the potential of truth. Be honest with yourself...

YOU CAN’T HELP BLAME SHIFTERS AND EXCUSE MAKERS! Luke 14:18 NASB And yet they all alike began to make excuses. ● Excuse is the crutch of the un-wise and un-committed! ● People can make excuses or make progress, but they cannot make both! ● Responsible people take ownership of the problem and spend more time seeking solutions than ‘scapegoats.’ ● We don’t ‘own’ other people’s mistakes, but we can o...

YOU CAN’T TEACH THE UNTEACHABLE! Proverbs 18:1-2 NASB One who separates himself seeks his own desire; He quarrels against all sound wisdom. A fool does not delight in understanding, But in revealing his own mind. ● If they are already the ‘expert’ why are YOU wasting YOUR time? ● People who say, YES—I KNOW or YES, BUT.....they are hard to counsel because they already have made up in their mind the...

YOU CAN’T HELP SOMEONE WHO THINKS YOU ARE THE CAUSE OF THEIR PROBLEMS Genesis 3:12-13 NASB The man said, “The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me some of the fruit of the tree, and I ate.” 13 Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this that you have done?” And the woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.” ● If they are offended with you, it is difficult to receive from yo...

YOU CAN’T HELP ANYONE WHO WANTS ALL THAT YOU HAVE EXCEPT THE ADVICE AND COUNSEL! Proverbs 16:16 NASB How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! And to get understanding is to be chosen above silver. ● People want the stuff without the advice and sacrifice. ● Don’t give advice unless they ask for it. Acts 8:18-23 NASB Now when Simon saw that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apo...

YOU CAN’T HELP SOMEONE WHO HAS NO RESPECT FOR ACHIEVEMENT! Proverbs 13:20 NASB One who walks with wise people will be wise, But a companion of fools will suffer harm. Proverbs 26:16 NLT Lazy people consider themselves smarter than seven wise counselors. ● Never MENTOR people who DON’T ASK QUESTIONS.... ● Ask questions of mentors!

YOU CAN’T HELP PEOPLE WHO REFUSE TO DISCONNECT THEMSELVES FROM THE WRONG PEOPLE. 1 Corinthians 15:33 NASB Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good morals.” Psalm 1:1 NASB Blessed is the person who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the path of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers! · Jesus loved the rich young ruler---he gave him instruction but the man didn’t heed i...

Message: Fundamentals - Part 10 Help Me Help You Speaker: Ryan Kibbe 04/10/2022 Sunday Service: 9:00 am  Help. It’s something we all need. God created it and designed us to both to give it and receive it. Help isn’t something He does, it’s who He actually IS. It’s His nature. An ever-present help in the time of trouble.   No one is an island. We all need help from one another.  But when does helpi...

● This doesn’t say women should do everything he says. ● Peter is actually saying: ● It’s a call to greater honor and they are equal heirs of salvation….and if you don’t get this honor thing right and see them that way...YOUR PRAYERS WILL BE HINDERED!!! ● GOD VALUES ONE-NESS!!! ----UNITY ● It doesn’t mean you are less valuable. It is saying we treat them like a fine china! ● Peacekeeping isn’t pea...

In a CULTURE OF HONOR, we celebrate WHO they are without stumbling over WHO THEY ARE NOT! 2 Corinthians 3:17-18 NASB Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18 But we all, with unveiled faces, looking as in a mirror at the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit. ● ● People want t...

The Frustration Principle - When all efforts to apply these principles have failed to the point of frustration, we will commit ourselves to appeal to a person with higher authority for the sake of the relationship. Hebrews 13:17 – “Obey your spiritual leaders, and do what they say. Their work is to watch over your souls, and they are accountable to God. Give them reason to do this with joy and not...

The Flexibility Principle - I will search out options with you in making possible adjustments in how we relate to one another. Isaiah 1:18 - “Come now, and let us reason together, says the Lord...” Malachi 3:16 - "Then those who feared the Lord spoke to one another, and the Lord gave attention and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before Him for those who fear the Lord and who esteem...

The Final Word Principle - I will believe and act upon the last words we spoke concerning our relationship. Philippians 4:8 - “Summing it all up, friends, I’d say you’ll do best by filling your minds and meditating on ...the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse.” What we said or agreed upon when we last spoke is so often easily forgotten. When we...

Message: Fundamentals - Part 9 Make History With God Speaker: Ryan Kibbe 04/03/2022 Sunday Service: 9:00 am When you make history with God, He makes history through you! Your personal history with Jesus is developed over time. Then remembered. Matured and built upon. It requires His divine favor. With both God and with mankind. The ancient story of David and Goliath is a “Fundamental” pillar of th...

The Four-day Principle - I will not allow any problem I have with you to go unresolved for more than four days. Proverbs 28:13 - “You can’t whitewash your sins and get by with it; you find mercy by admitting and leaving them.” Someone may ask, “How did you come up with four days?” Would it not be better to immediately go and approach the other person? In some situations the answer would be yes, bu...

The Friendship Principle - It is my responsibility to approach you if I need your help. I will not expect you to interpret my actions or recognize my heart’s condition. Proverbs 18:24 - “Friends come and friends go, but a true friend sticks by you like family.” The essence of this principle is that no human is a mind reader. Only God knows the thoughts and intentions of a person’s heart. If you ne...

The Faithfulness Principle - Faithfulness to our relationship outweighs the importance of any offense between us. The value of the relationship is greater than the conflict of the moment. I will not allow any problem to override the principles by which we live. Proverbs 27:6 – “Faithful are the wounds of a friend, but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.” Problems in the form of misunderstanding...

The First Word Principle - You will be the first person to hear about any problem I have with you. Matthew 18:15 - “If a fellow believer hurts you, go and tell him—work it out between the two of you. If he listens, you’ve made a friend.” So often today when people get hurt or offended, instead of forgiving and moving on, they choose to get other people involved in their painful situation. Instead...

The Forgiveness Principle – I will choose to walk in forgiveness and not easily take offense against me. Acts 24:16 - “I myself always strive to have a conscience without offense toward God and men.” Giving as well as receiving forgiveness is a must for the Christian who wants to live in peace and joy and in fellowship with God. The scripture is clear on this subject. Since, we as believers have t...
