Ross has been a member at Southland for many years and is
chairman of the elder team. Ross talks about what it looks like to
extend grace to others out of the grace that's been extended to
him.
Ross
mentioned “difference makers” along his path that he can look back
and see was God continually pursuing him. Coaches, guidance
counselors, friend’s parents, etc. Who have been “difference
makers” in your life?
Extending grace to lost and broken people is
our mission. How does Jesus demonstrate that for us?
(Romans 5:6-11&1 John
4:10)
Because of the grace we’ve received, we get to
give that to others. Do you hold non-Christians to the same
standard as Christians? What’s the difference between condoning
sinful behavior and extending grace?
Ross
said never think of people as projects or think you’re better than
others. What can we do to cultivate that mindset and outlook?
(Romans 12:2)
Everyone has a sphere of influence. Who would
you say is in your sphere of influence currently? How are you
building relationships with them?
“If
you don’t like change you’re going to like your irrelevance even
less.” How does that relate to the Church’s mission to reach
people?
The
reality is time flies, and that’s why God reminds us to make the
most of our days & make each day count (Psalm
90:12). Do you live with a
sense of urgency? Are you asking God to provide opportunities with
the people around you?
Make
this your prayer this week as you wake up: “Lord, put somebody in
my path today that needs you and needs help?”
