Motive: Kingdom Focus Examine our core beliefs Challenge our motives Practice humility is a choice
He must become greater; I must become less.
John 3:30 (NIV)
In humility, consider others more important than yourselves.
Philippians 2:3 (HCSB)
Edging God Out Who I worship My source of security and self-worth My audience and judge Pride An overly high opinion of yourself, exaggerated esteem of self, haughtiness, arrogance
“Do not think more highly of yourself than you ought.”
Romans 12:3 Fear An insecure view of the future producing self protection
“Fear of man is a trap …”
Proverbs 29:25 Promoting Self Protecting Self • Boasting • Taking all of the credit • Showing off • Doing all the talking • Demanding all the attention • Hiding behind position
Always separates
man from God, other people, and himself
Always compares
with others and is never happy
Always distorts
the truth into a false sense of security or fear • Withholding information • Intimidating others • Hoarding control • Discouraging honest feedback Slide courtesy of Rockbridge Seminary
Exalting God Only Who I worship My source of security and self-worth My audience and judge Humility • • • Humility is not denying the power you have but admitting that the power comes through you and not from you.
Something lived out but never claimed Looking out the window rather than in the mirror of praise.
A kingdom perspective of cause and effect.
“put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience” Col 3:12
Magnifies Christ Promotes Trust and Truth Generates Inspiration and Commitment Builds Community and Fellowship Confidence A secure view of the future based upon trust and the assurance of God’s promises.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart…”
Proverbs 3:5-6 Slide adapted from Blanchard’s and Hodge’s Lead Like Jesus, p 64

What are some key things of the mind that we need to ask for when leading out in a disaster relief effort?
Wisdom Discernment Vision / mission
Vision
Jesus understood His Mission Luke 19:10 How does this relate to disaster relief effort?
Avoiding Mission / Vision Creep
Clear understanding of mission Clear communication of mission Guard & protect the mission

Does this carry the mission forward?
Does it compliment the mission?
Does it compete for our focus in accomplishing the mission?
Does it contradict the mission?

7 Cautions About Spiritual Gifts

Spiritual Gifts
7 Cautions About Spiritual Gifts

7 Cautions About Spiritual Gifts
7. Yours or anyone’s Spiritual Gifts are not confirmed in isolation.

Heart
Monitoring My Heartbeat
The Bible defines the “Heart” as:
a. “The organ that pumps your blood ” b. “Your emotional constitution or disposition ” c. “The vital force or driving impulse”
“Passion (heart) is the fuel of life. It is the great source of energy and drive. It’s what makes us explore new vistas, develop new relationships, and seek solutions to perplexing problems .”
Bob Buford, Halftime Rees, Erik (2006-08-22). S.H.A.P.E.: Finding and Fulfilling Your Unique Purpose for Life (p. 53). Zondervan. Kindle Edition.

Monitoring My Heartbeat
My heart determines....
· Why I SAY the things I do · Why I FEEL the way I do · Why I ACT the way I do My heart is the REAL me!

Monitoring My Heartbeat
Why has God given each person a UNIQUE “heartbeat ?” Because you can do God’s will and serve God’s purpose by letting your heartbeat MOTIVATE you for ministry!

5 Misconceptions About Abilities 1 . MYTH:
People aren’t born with skills. All skills must be learned by experience.
This simply is not true. There are a number of talents which seem to be inborn, or are developed very early in infancy. When people say “He just seems to have a natural talent for it” it’s probably true!

2. MYTH: Those skills which must be learned, are learned primarily in the classroom.
Actually, some of your most basic skills were learned at home, “in the street”, or somewhere else outside the classroom.

3. MYTH: If you have certain abilities, you will be very aware that you have them.
Again, this is not true. You are probably using a number of talents or skills that you are not even aware of! You need some process of skill identification.

Personality A Rabbit On The Swim Team
“Once upon a time, the animals decided to do something meaningful to meet the problems of the new world. So they organized a school. The adopted an activity curriculum of running, climbing, swimming, and flying. To make it easier to administer the curriculum, all the animals took all the subjects.
The duck was excellent in swimming; in fact, better than his instructor. But he made only passing grades in flying, and he was very poor in running. Since he was slow in running, he had to drop swimming and stay after school to practice running. This caused his web feet to be badly worn, so that he was only average in swimming. But average was quite acceptable, so nobody worried about that- except the duck.
The rabbit started at the top of his class in running, but developed a nervous twitch in his leg muscles because of so much make-up work in swimming.
Personality
The squirrel was excellent in climbing, but he encountered constant frustration in flying class because his teacher made him start from the ground up instead of from the treetop down. He developed Charlie horses from overexertion, and so only got a C in climbing and a D in running.
The eagle was a problem child and was severely disciplined for being a non-conformist. In climbing trees he beat all the others to the top of the tree, but insisted on using his own way to get there.”

What is the moral of the story?

Personality Development
The study of human behavior was first developed by the Greek Scholar Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, around 400 BC. He identified four body fluids that he believed determined a person’s behavior.
In A.D. 149 a Roman physiologist by the name of Galen proposed a temperament theory that built on Hippocrates observations. His four temperaments:
“CHOLERIC”: “SANGUINE”: extroverted/task-oriented type, extroverted/people-oriented type, “PHLEGMATIC”: “MELANCHOLY”: introverted/people-oriented type, introverted/task-oriented type.
Personality
Personality Development
Scientific research shows that, as individuals… …we are “powered” by either our:
outgoing
life, or our
reserved
approach to …our direction is “steered” either towards:
tasks
or toward
people
.
Most human behavioral scientists either agree with Hippocrates & Galen or have only tweaked his basic findings slightly (sometimes only by changing the terminology)

In 1928, William Marston, a psychologist authored “The Emotions of Normal People,” which introduced the

The remaining 15% of your personality development comes from the rest of childhood & adolescence.

Personality
People Skills Are Important By learning more about your behavior & that of others, you greatly improve good relationships
In Disaster Relief Ministry, there is a great need for people who can relate well to others.
No one is outstanding at everything, you need others to supplement your weaknesses with their strengths.
When two different people don’t get along, it is usually a problem of inflexibility. No one wants to move out of their comfort zone.
Some people believe everyone thinks and makes decisions just as they do. The Bible is very clear that God has made each of us unique .

People Skills Are Important
By understanding the unique way God has made you, you can learn to

God made each of us “different,”, not worse than others, not better… but

. These differences often cause difficulties in relationships.
The Bible is also very clear that Christians are to love & care for other people.

Look for the uniqueness that God created in you - you are a priceless treasure. Why did you listen to those who demeaned you…and far worse, why did you believe them ? No longer hide your rarity in the dark. Bring it forth. In one sense, we should not need to imitate others and be comfortable to be ourselves, however… Paul once said: “
Imitate me, as I also imitate Christ.”
1 Cor. 11:1

About The Body of Christ!
Disaster Relief, like the church, is to operate on the basis of spiritual gifts, rather than elected office. We do not elect people to positions. “A man’s
gift makes room for him...”
Proverbs 18 :16

Disaster Relief SHAPE Values
About The Body of Christ!
Disaster Relief, like the church is a family , not a business; an organism, not an organization. Therefore we streamline the structure in order to maximize ministry and minimize maintenance. We do not bury ministries under procedures.
S.H.A.P.E.
Disaster Relief SHAPE Values
About The Body of Christ!
The greater good of the whole Body must always take priority over the needs of any single ministry. There is no place for “turfism” in God’s Family. Disaster Relief Ministry needs to be a part of your church’s overall strategy to make Christ famous.
