See the Good Part B

See The Good   Part B 
Philemon


Hearers of the Word:

I.   Bridge Builders See The Good


a.  Develop an  attitude of Thanksgiving in everything. 

b.  Focus on the Positive  in others rather than the negative.


Statement of Truth:
If you are not careful, your greatest strength will become your greatest weakness

Principle to Practice:  We must see people for who God is MAKING them and not for WHAT they are.

c.  Focus on the good others have done and not the wrong.

II.  Benefits of Seeing the Good in other people:

  • It gives you something to enjoy thinking about

  • It gives them hope and blesses others

  • It draws others to you instead of repelling them

  • It is consistent with God’s view of people


Statement of Truth:  There are no enduring relationships without forgiveness.  


Doers of the Word:

  1.   How can you be more thankful in the little things this week, this upcoming holiday season?


  2. How can you focus more on the positive and less on the negative in 2026?
