Core Values Study #2: Character
This week Life Group will study Core Value #2: Character. What is “Character”? “Character is the inward motivation to do what is right according to the highest standards in every situation. It consists of the stable qualities built into our lives that determine our responses, regardless of the circumstances. It is the wise response to the pressure of a difficult situation. It is what we do when we think that no one else is watching.”
If we as a church are supposed to show the world Jesus in our daily lives then we MUST seek to live lives that are full of godly character. Why is character important? Every conflict in life can be traced to the neglect or misapplication of one or more character qualities. Character matters!
There are 49 character qualities that we would do well to examine, seek to learn and imitate. If you would like more information about a book to help you get into a more in-depth study of those 49 character qualities then let us know. We would be glad to share that information with you.
As we begin our children’s ministry and youth ministry we will be seeking to teach these character qualities to the children and youth we come in contact with. Pray that we as a core group can open the Word of God this week and examine our own hearts so that we might work towards having the character God intends for us to have. While none of us is perfect, (and will never attain perfection this side of heaven), we should seek to become more like Jesus in every area of our lives.
It’s a joy to study God’s Word with the members of Life House Church and hear what God is saying to them each week at Life Group. God is using this time to teach us, bind us together and grow us spiritually as a core group. I love you church and can’t wait to hear what God is saying to you this coming Wednesday night at Life Group! See you there – bring a friend too! Pastor James
