CommentsA Competitive Spirit
Hook: Which type of person do you tend to criticize but whom others accept?
Book: The disciples assumed this man was wrong because he was not one of them. Jesus let them know that anything done in His name is more than acceptable—it will be rewarded. Jesus is not making a point about theology or spirituality but regarding service. He wants you to celebrate even the most humble efforts of others done in His name.
Took: What do you think drives this competitive spirit? Can you think of someone you should criticize less and compliment more?
