8. A SERVANT’S ALERT HEART

1. Become a load-lifter. Anticipate what would be helpful and then do it. Study the greatest servant in all of history, Jesus Christ (Mark 10:42-45).

9. A COMMUNICATING HEART

1. This is the counterbalance to merely “being a good example.” Communicate by word, the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

2. Acts uses words like witness, teach, tell, proclaim, etc., 113 times or an average of four per chapter.

3. Your personal testimony, backed by God’s Word are your greatest weapons (Revelation 12:11).

10.A PRAISING, THANKFUL HEART

1. If you learn this through loneliness, problems, misunderstandings – you will be A-OK with God.

2. In everything give thanks (I Thessalonians 5:18; Ephesians 5:20; Hebrews 13:15):

“Who Do You Say that I AM?”

-> Tell me about “Who Do You Say that I AM?”

Jesus asked the disciples, "Who do others say that I am?" It was easy to answer because it required no conviction, no commitment, and no risk. But then he follows that question with another, "Who do YOU say that I am?"
