Good to Great in God's Eyes - Pursue Great People, Part 2

Описание: 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.”


III. Get started without getting discouraged.



• A warning to heed.


• A perspective to consider.


• An action plan to follow.
