We did it! Together, we raised more than $215,000 to show the love of Jesus to our city: providing 10,000 meals, free haircuts, dental and medical services, family portraits, and shoes for kids. That’s what it means to look like Jesus, to see needs around us and meet them with love. As we celebrate Thanksgiving Pickup Party this weekend, we’re preparing our hearts as we turn to 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 to learn how to do the things Jesus would do and act the way Jesus would act. Because in order to look like Jesus, we have to love like Jesus—with patience, kindness, and compassion for a world that desperately needs Him.

I. Do the Things Jesus Would Do

  A. Be Patient in Gratitude for His Patience with You

  B. Be Kind, Remembering His Kindness Toward You

II. Act the Way Jesus Would Act

  A. Don’t Be Rude: Treat People the Way Jesus Treats You

  B. Don’t Be a Cynic: See People How Jesus Sees Them (Sheep Without a Shepherd)

Talk with God: Ask the Lord to give you His heart for those around you this week.

Talk with others: Ask a mentor or a believing friend if they’ve noticed an area of your life where you aren’t reflecting Jesus.

Talk with kids: What was Saul’s excuse for disobeying the Lord?
