Likeable

Part 1: Be With
February 5, 2023 • Ronnie Rothe
People who were nothing like Jesus liked Jesus, and He like them too, but do people like his followers? Many people who would say they’re not followers of Christ perceive His followers is unlikable. To change this perspective we must think differently, not about what your positions are but about where you are standing. You don’t have to compromise what you believe to impact people for Jesus, but you do need to change your approach by thinking differently about where you are standing and saying YES to the relationship.
Part 2: Be Real

People who were nothing like Jesus liked Jesus, and He like them too, but do people like his followers? One perception is that followers of Jesus are hypocrites. A hypocrite is someone who says one thing and does another and acts like they aren’t. The best way to change the perception of being a hypocrite is by not being one.
Part 3: Be Kind

One perception that people have of Christ-followers is that they are judgmental. The reason we are perceived as being judgmental is because so often we are being judgmental. To embody the kindness of God, that has the potential to lead people to faith in Jesus, we must walk in the fulness of grace AND truth.
Part 4: Be Slow to Speak
February 26, 2023 • Ronnie Rothe
One perception that people about followers of Christ is that they are AGAINST people. This should never be perceived about Followers of Christ because God is FOR people. The only way people will know God is FOR them is if followers of Christ are know for that too.
