Fusion: week of 6/26

FAMILY THEME: LOVING PROBLEM PEOPLE

Romans 12:14-21;  Matthew 18:15-17

There will be times when people get on our nerves. This devotion

will help you deal with those times.

1.  Persecutors Are Problem People

     (Romans 12:14,  15-21;  Matthew 5:44;  18:15-17)

     Persecutors include those who seek to harm us by their

     words and actions.

 
2.  The Successful Might Be Viewed as Problem People 

     (Romans 12:15;  1 Corinthians 12:26)

     It can be hard to celebrate with those who are celebrating

     when we don't see much to celebrate in our lives.

 
3.  The Hurting Might Be Viewed as Problem People

     (Romans 12:15;  Galatians 6:2)

     When we avoid the weak or hurting, we demonstrate that

     we see them as a problem.
