People Problems: Part 3

2 Timothy 3:1-7

But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. 2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, 4 treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.

Reasons we end up with problematic people:

• You are drawn to them.
• You lack discernment.
• You have a history of normalized dysfunction.
• You are being sold isolation disguised as connection.

Hebrews 10:24-25

24 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

Ways to cultivate community:

• Prioritize time with your community.
• Encourage one another.
• Don’t be afraid of confrontation.

Next Steps:

1. I will accept Jesus as my Lord and Savior
2. I will celebrate communion
3. I will attend the No More Orphans Experience
4. I will memorize Hebrews 10:24
