Forgiving Others

Unselfie begins with Jesus and flows to others (Philippians 2:1-2)

An Unselfie Life is not about ME; it’s about WE (Philippians 2:3-4)

An Unselfie Life uses personal advantages for the sake of others.

An Unselfie Life serves others.

Made himself nothing:
Jesus was fully God but he laid aside the independent use of his attributes.

Took on the nature of a servant being made in human likeness:
Although Jesus was fully God, he permanently became human and lived in a sinless physical body.

An Unselfie Life sacrifices for others.

An Unselfie Life glorifies God.

International Ministry Weekend 2018

Evangelism—Sharing Jesus to your world. Missions—Sharing Jesus around the world. Missionary = Global Worker Missions = Global Ministry The Bible Chapel’s Global Worker Challenge: Adopt a Global Worker to pray for on a regular basis. 1. PRAYER IS WITHIN OUR DAILY RYTHME. 2. ALLOW THE HOLY SPIRIT TO DIRECT YOUR CONVERSATION WITH GOD. 3. PRAY REALISTICALLY NOT RITUALISITICLY. Theodorus said of Martin Luther: I overheard him in prayer, but good God, with what life and spirit did he pray! It was with so much reverence, as if he were speaking to God and with so much confidence as if he were speaking to a friend. 4. BE CONSISTENT AND PERSISTENT IN YOUR PRAYERS FOR OTHERS. 5. PRAY.

The instruction of God should drive your heart—mind, emotions, and will. The primarily way we teach our children is modeling and mentoring. Our love for Jesus controls our actions, direction, and the atmosphere of our homes. You cannot impress on you children what you don’t possess. CHALLENGE: Get serious about developing as a follower of Jesus. The ball is in your court. Pray for your children.
