Listen Later

The road to greatness is not walked alone. In fact, greatness is never achieved in a vacuum. It is forged in community. Chip shares how you can build relationships that bring out the best in you and bless those around you.

Main Points
Introduction: More is really “caught than taught.”
  • It’s true when we are young.
  • It’s true when we grow up.
  • Timeless Axiom: We become most like those we admire and those with whom we interact most frequently.

    • Practice: Pursue Great People! --Proverbs 13:20

    I. Why pursue great people?
    • God's Word is emphatic about the company we keep. --1 Corinthians 15:33; Hebrews 13:7; 1 Corinthians 4:15-16; Proverbs 27:17
    • Our baggage and backgrounds demand it! (Reference: The Wounded Healer by Henry Nouwen)
      • II. How do you pursue great people?
      • Start by looking in the rear-view mirror. What four or five people have most positively impacted your life?
      • Now, look out the windshield. We all need three kinds of people in our lives.
        1. A Paul to “learn from.”
        2. A Barnabas to “share with.”
        3. A Timothy to “help grow.”
          4. III. Get started without getting discouraged.
          • A warning to heed.
          • A perspective to consider.
          • An action plan to follow.
