2 Corinthians 11
26 I have had to keep on the move. 28 Besides everything else, every day I am concerned about all the churches. It is a very heavy load. 29 If anyone is weak, I feel weak. If anyone is led into sin, I burn on the inside.
Philippians 2:5
Have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.
Our English word “attitude” is translated in the Bible as: mind, countenance, and heart. Attitude is a very descriptive
word that gives insight into how a person thinks or feels about something or someone.
We need to develop a right attitude if we are to move forward!
1. Attitude Toward Prayer
With faith – Mk.11:22-23With thankfulness – Phil.4:6
With constancy –Rom.12:12
2. Attitude Toward Giving
It is essential that we manifest the proper attitude on this vital
subject. 2 Cor. 8:7-12
2 Corinthians 8:9 You know the generous grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that by his poverty he could make you rich.
3. Attitude Toward Worship
John 4:24 (NLT)For God is Spirit, so those
who worship him must worship in spirit and in
truth.”
We find the correct object of worship – God who is a Spirit.
We find the correct attitude of worship – Worship in spirit.
We find the foundation for correct action in worship – Truth.
4. Attitude Toward Discipline
Our attitude toward personal correction will determine our ultimate
estate in heaven.
It is part of God’s plan that we accept the corrective efforts of our fellow Christian when it comes to personal sin.Matt. 18: 15-17
The church should be a place where loveexists and discipline is upheld.Hebrews 12:6
It's time for us to move forward – remove every barrier, every limitation. God wants a glorious church without blemish, spot, or wrinkle.Your future is bright if your
attitude is right.
