  3. Attitudes that Build Up • 1 Cor. 13:4-7: Love • Isa. 6:8: “Here Am I! Send Me” • When God asked, “Who will We send,” Isaiah responded. • Will you respond when work needs to be done? • Many will sit on their hands and hope that they will not get noticed. • Those who belong to the Lord are “zealous for good works” like Isaiah. • When Christians are ready and zealous for the work, then the church will be built up.

  4. Attitudes that Build Up • 1 Cor. 13:4-7: Love • Isa. 6:8: “Here Am I! Send Me” • Phil. 2:3: “esteem others better” • Arrogance and self-seeking always tear others down: James 3:14-16. • But wisdom from above is humble, willing to yield: James 3:17-18 • Jesus said love neighbor AS self: Matt. 19:19 • For brethren, however, we are to esteem them BETTER. • When we esteem others as better than ourselves, then all will be building others up.

Send Me” • Phil. 2:3: “esteem others better” • Phil. 2:4: “look out for the interests of others.” • Most are busy seeking their own interests, getting what they want, having things their way. • Those who build up the church do all things for the interests of others. • Rom. 12:8: exhort, give, lead, show mercy. • Rom. 12:10: Give preference to one another.

Send Me” • Phil. 2:3: “esteem others better” • Phil. 2:4: “look out for the interests of others.” • 1 Thess. 5:12: “Recognize and esteem those who labor among you.” • Attitude of the world is to tear down those who shine through their diligent efforts (make others feel bad). • Godly people build up and encourage those who labor, for their labor is done in the Lord. • If we are zealous for good works, then we will encourage those who are diligent in good works.

Send Me” • Phil. 2:3: “esteem others better” • Phil. 2:4: “look out for the interests of others.” • 1 Thess. 5:12: “Recognize and esteem those who labor among you.” • Eph. 4:1-3: pursue peace, walk worthy of calling. • Jesus makes peace between man and God. • We are called to walk like Jesus; to be peacemakers (Matt. 5:9). • Discord and strife tear churches apart, discourage new members, chase away visitors, dishonor God. • When members pursue peace, the body is closer to being like Christ.

  8. Conclusion • Eph. 4:12-16 • The goal of the church is to grow to the fullness of Christ. • The church is built up when all the members pursue the character of Christ. • We have touched on a few of His characteristics, but there is much more we must learn. • Those who build up the church are devoted to putting on Christ.
