Patrick Grach - thoughts on life and leadership

Weekend in the Read-view Mirror

Busy but fun!

Hope you enjoyed Sunday morning as much as I did. If you missed it, then you'll be saying, "This always happens when I'm out-of-town or miss LifeHouse". 'Cause it was a great service.

Here's the highlights from my message:

• Big Idea: Kindness is Lifting Others Up!
• There's is a tension between looking out for ourselves and looking out for and helping others.
• Read 2 Samuel 8-9. David was kind to Mephibosheth (wow, say that 10x fast), but it clearly wasn't in his best interest.
  
• He chose to be kind (lift up) rather than look out for his own interests.
• How do we do that TODAY? Lift others by being PLEASANT and PRACTICAL.
• If we did this, we would show God's love to those around us everyday, and we would be creating the world we wish for and believe should exist.
• So, in a nutshell, kindness says, "Good morning" and makes the coffee.

Hope we live this out Monday through Saturday, otherwise it's knowledge without action, which seems empty and meaningless. So, let's live it!
