I’ve heard it said that “life and ministry would be really easy if it weren’t for people.” Anyone else with me on that? 

But, here’s the thing: God loves people — in fact, the Church is all about people — and that’s why God sent His Son, Jesus to planet earth in the first place! So, if you and I want to be the most effective for the kingdom of God, we’ve got to walk in love and have good people skills. There’s really no way around it! 

Today, we’re talking about 7 ways to improve your people skills: 

1. Ask God For Help
2. Walk In Love Towards Others
3. Be Interested In Others
4. Speak Well Of Others
5. Avoid Discord With Others
6. Uproot Bitterness And Plant Forgiveness
7. Don’t Be Easily Offended 

(If you’re following along in our “Getting A Grip On The Basics of Serving God” workbook, this lesson is from Chapter 8: How to be an asset to your church and God’s kingdom.)
