Choose Humility - Don't Take Yourself Too Seriously

April 21, 2024 • Jeff Marcoe • John 13:12–16, Philippians 2:2–4

Give

Humility is the ability to see your commonality with all other people. It’s knowing and

taking your rightful place alongside all others in the human family, neither better nor

worse than the greatest or least. Humble people don’t get their ego wrapped up in

everything they do. They can acknowledge their faults, admit their mistakes, and ask for

forgiveness.

Choose Perseverance

Choose Joy - Senior Sunday

May 19, 2024 • Johnnel Scotland • Philippians 4:4, Romans 14:17, Hebrews 12:2

Positive people choose an attitude of joy, They're eager to make the most of each day - whether it turns out as they plan or not, the opposite of joy is drudgery, seeing life as an endless series of meaningless tasks, The decision to choose joy is critical because joy is rejuvenating. It renews your spirit, refreshes you, and enables you to keep going. Joy is not happiness (despite there being similarities). Happiness is dependent upon our circumstances. Happiness is a feeling you get when things are going your way, Joy depends on your attitude and you can choose joy.

Choose Compassion - Be Kind to Everyone You Meet

May 12, 2024 • Jeff Marcoe • Luke 7:11–15

Compassion means treating others with kindness, gentleness, and respect even when they don't deserve it. It's the practice of being patient, tolerant, and helpful to others, especially those in need. The opposite is reprisal, exacting a price for every interaction, counting the cost, and making sure others give you as much or more than they receive from you.
