Assertiveness
Mark 5:35-43
- He took charge of the situation and his surrounds
- Why have we not acted as Jesus did?
Fear Sensitivity
- Jesus didn’t say a word to those who doubted
- Assertiveness without sensitivity can be offensive and counterproductive
A Simple charge
- “Don’t be afraid, just believe”
- He didn’t burden him with lots of words
- Excessive amount of teaching may cloud the main issue
Privileging
- Peter, James, and John were closest to Jesus
- Jesus narrowed his focus to help the build leaders to their full potential.
Consideration
- A little consideration can go a long ways
- Ideas: buy someone lunch, remember people’s birthdays
- Be alert to meeting other people’s needs
