WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE IS GOD, ARE WE LOOKING FOR? 1. COMPASSION God is looking for people who put people before profits! –Philippians 2:20,21 GNB "He is the only one… who really cares about you. Everyone else is concerned only with his own affairs, not about the cause of Christ."

2. CONSISTENCY God is looking for people who put character before conformity! –Philippians 2:22 "Timothy has proved himself. He has served with me in the work of the gospel."

"Prove" means tested character - integrity. Timothy's name means "he honors God." He did not cave in to pressure."Prove" means tested character - integrity. Timothy's name means "he honors God."

Proverbs 10:9 "The man of integrity walks securely, but he who takes crooked paths will be found out."Proverbs 10:9 "The man of integrity walks securely, but he who takes crooked paths will be found out." Proverbs 20:7 "It is a wonderful heritage to have an honest father."Proverbs 20:7 "It is a wonderful heritage to have an honest father."

3. COOPERATION God is looking for people who put cooperation before competition! –Philippians 2:25 "I think it is necessary to send back to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, and fellow soldier."

He describes the cooperation in three terms, three relationships - brother, worker, soldier. Three things about the Christian life…Three things about the Christian life… –1. It is a family, we're related. 133 times in the NT Paul uses the word "brother" to describe the relationship between Christians.

–2. It is a fellowship. We have the same task, assignment. We have the Great Commission. –3. It is a fight. When you became a Christian you became an enemy of the devil. We are to defend each other and protect each other and support each other.

Judges 20:11 "So all the men of Israel got together and united as one man against the city."

4. COMMITMENT God is looking for people who put the cause of Christ before comfort! –Philippians 2:25b, 27. "… is your messenger, whom you sent to take care of my needs… He was ill, and almost died, But God had mercy on him."

–James 2:17 "Faith, by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead."

5. COURAGE God is looking for people who will put service before security!

–Philippians 2v29-30 "Welcome him in the Lord with great joy and honor men like him, because he almost died for the work of Christ, risking his life to make up for the help you could not give me."

"Risking" in the Greek, literally means "hazarding his life"."Risking" in the Greek, literally means "hazarding his life". –Romans 12:1-2 "So then my brothers, because of God's great mercy to us, offer yourselves as a living sacrifice to God, dedicated to His service and pleasing to Him. Don't conform to the standard of this world, but let God transform you inwardly by a complete change of your mind."

–Mark 8:35 Living Bible Only those who give away their lives for my sake and for the sake of the Good News will ever know what it means to really live.

–2 Chronicles 16:9 "The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth that He may show Himself strong in the heart of those whose heart is perfect toward Him."
