October 13 2024 | Pastor Doug continues our series "Relational Vampires" by talking about how we can love on the NEEDY PEOPLE around us.
In this powerful message about 'Relational Vampires,' we explore how to deal with needy people in our lives without enabling their behavior or depleting ourselves. The central theme revolves around giving strategically, serving wisely, and trusting God completely. We're reminded of the story in Acts 3, where Peter and John encounter a lame beggar. Instead of giving him money, they offer him healing in Jesus' name - a profound lesson in providing a 'hand up' rather than a 'hand out.' This story challenges us to discern between those seeking temporary relief and those truly desiring transformation. We're encouraged to fill our own spiritual cups through prayer and solitude, just as Jesus did, before pouring out to others. This balance is crucial for sustainable ministry and healthy relationships. Ultimately, we're called to trust God with the outcomes of others' lives, understanding that sometimes allowing natural consequences is the most loving action we can take.
