Love One Another - How to Build Friendships that Last a Lifetime, Part 2


Listen Later

Chip wraps up this series with a look at how to build friendships that can last a lifetime.

Main Points

“There is no limit to what God will do if we don’t care who gets the credit!”

I. Honoring others above ourselves is the “acid test” of how much we really love one another. --John 13:1-5; John 13:12-17

Key observations:

  1. Honoring others is motivated by love.
  2. Security in God’s plan allows us to choose downward mobility.
  3. Honoring others begins with humility.
  4. Position and power are stewardships for service.
  5. Real happiness comes when we make others shine, not hog the limelight.
  6. Summary: Honoring others is enjoying and celebrating the worth, success, and accomplishments of others more than my own.

    II. What does “honoring others” look like in your life?

    Step 1: Evaluate

    • When was the last time you honored someone above yourself?
    • Step 2: Questions to ponder:
      • Do you compliment others sincerely?
      • Do you enjoy the success of others?
      • Can you let others be the center of attention?
      • Can you allow others to get credit even when you had a major role?
      • Do you feel bad, slighted, hurt, or angry when you work or service goes unnoticed?
      • III. What happens when we honor others above ourselves?
        • The Great paradox --Philippians 2:9-11
        • The Awesome promise --Matthew 23:5-12
        • The Timeless prayer --St Francis of Assisi
        • Conclusion: Many relationships start well, but few end well. Those who habitually honor others build friendships that last a lifetime.
