Gym Class: Get Real

I Thessalonians 5:12-15, 23-25

The second commitment: “As a member of First Baptist I will serve others with honor and respect.” Get real about the need to honor those who lead. (I Thess. 5:12-13, 25)

Get to know the leaders for who they are. (v. 12)

Love them for what they do. (v. 13)

Pray for them continually. (v. 25)

Get real about the respect we give each other. (I Thess. 5:13b, 14, 15) How to serve others with honor and respect:

Pray consistently for those who lead you.

Surrender your preferences for the sake of the body of Christ.
