Be Good To People

• Thank you Lord. We are confident in you this  morning in Jesus name. I want to remind us all today to be good to people. We have to be  good to people. See people matter to God. People matter most to God. And it’s so easy  these days to find things that we disagree on. There’s so much information.
• There’s so many  things twirling that we can easily find things that we disagree on. You know, you’re never  going to agree 100% of the time with anyone. But the point that we need to make in our life  to God, the things that we need to do is continue to show respect for people. We have to show  respect whether we agree with people or not. When we show respect, you know what we’re doing?  We are honoring God and we’re promoting the gospel. We’re promoting the good news.
• We’re  saying, “God, I respect these people because they matter to you. And when I show respect, I’m  showing the good news. I am promoting the gospel on this earth.” See, as a believer, the truth is  people don’t really care what you say. They don’t care if you go to church every Sunday. If you’re  honest, you don’t lie. You don’t steal. You don’t cheat. You know what gets their attention?  It’s what you do.
• See, it’s not what you say, but it’s what you do in faith. It’s what you do  through faith that makes the difference. You know, especially in church in the church, we should  make sure that we don’t have petty disagreements. See the church, no matter what your  beliefs are in the church of Jesus Christ, we should stand under the umbrella of the  blood of Jesus Christ.
• All right? We should be in unity because that makes a difference  to the people who aren’t believers. That’s what’s going to cause them to believe. That’s  what’s going to get their attention. You know, I’ve seen believers literally argue over the  different translations of the Bible. See, we’re better than that. We’re better than that.  We got to stay together. It’s not what you know.
• It’s what you do. It’s how you act. It’s how  you show your faith. How do you express your faith? Listen to what it says in Galatians 5:16.  It says, “In Christ Jesus, there’s no there’s neither circumcision or non-ircumcision.” None  of that has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love. That  scripture is saying, you may know a lot of stuff.
