Believe in People

Believe in People 
Pastor Blake Hanson | 6.18.23 

 

Acts 15:36–41 (NLT)

36 After some time Paul said to Barnabas, “Let’s go back and visit each city where we previously preached the word of the Lord, to see how the new believers are doing.” 

37 Barnabas agreed and wanted to take along John Mark. 

38 But Paul disagreed strongly, since John Mark had deserted them in Pamphylia and had not continued with them in their work. 

39 Their disagreement was so sharp that they separated. Barnabas took John Mark with him and sailed for Cyprus. 

40 Paul chose Silas, and as he left, the believers entrusted him to the Lord’s gracious care. 

41 Then he traveled throughout Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches there.

 

When we believe the in people, we usually bring the out of people. 

 

We hinder our relationships when we are of people. 

 

Do I believe the best of others?

 

HOW TO BELIEVE THE BEST IN OTHERS… 

 

Recognize everybody needs . 

 

Acts 13:13 (NLT)

13 Paul and his companions then left Paphos by ship for Pamphylia, landing at the port town of Perga. There John Mark left them and returned to Jerusalem.

Acts 7:60 (NLT)

60 He fell to his knees, shouting, “Lord, don’t charge them with this sin!” And with that, he died.

 

Offer a second .   

 

Acts 15:39 (NLT)

39 Their disagreement was so sharp  that they separated. Barnabas took John Mark with him and sailed for Cyprus.

 

Psalm 86:5 (NLT)

5 O Lord, you are so good, so ready to forgive, so full of unfailing love for all who ask for your help.

 

Don’t allow past ruin future relationships. 

 

“I may keep people at a distance so people can’t hurt me, however keeping people at a distance stops them from helping me either.” 

 

Isaiah 43:18 (ESV)

18 “Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. 

 

Acts 15:40 (NLT)

40 Paul chose Silas, and as he left, the believers entrusted him to the Lord’s gracious care.

 

Believe in someone’s to help them reach that potential. 

 

2 Timothy 4:11 (ESV)

11 Luke alone is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, for he is very useful to me for ministry.

 

“Treat a man as he appears to be and you make him worse. But treat a man as if he already were what he potentially could be, and you make him what he should be.” – Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe 

 

Be a believer in people! 

 

Who do you need to believe in? 

 

How do you need to believe in that person?
