Ep. 202: How Do You SEE People?

<p class="p1">SHOW NOTES:</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p3">In Podcast Episode 202, “How Do You SEE People?” Kim discusses the temptation every one of us experiences regarding how we SEE people. Absalom appears to have only seen people as a means to an end, which is a temptation for many. Another struggle is to not SEE people at all, but to be so focused on me, me, me, me that we miss all the unique people around us for whom Christ died.</p> <p class="p4"> </p> <p class="p3">The primary scripture text is 2 Samuel 15:1-12 with 2-6 as the focal verses:</p> <p class="p4"> </p> <p class="p3">2 He got up early every morning and went out to the gate of the city. When people brought a case to the king for judgment, Absalom would ask where in Israel they were from, and they would tell him their tribe. 3 Then Absalom would say, “You’ve really got a strong case here! It’s too bad the king doesn’t have anyone to hear it. 4 I wish I were the judge. Then everyone could bring their cases to me for judgment, and I would give them justice!”</p> <p class="p3">5 When people tried to bow before him, Absalom wouldn’t let them. Instead, he took them by the hand and kissed them. 6 Absalom did this with everyone who came to the king for judgment, and so he stole the hearts of all the people of Israel.</p> <p class="p4"></p> <p class="p5">WEEKLY ASSIGNMENT FEATURE:</p> <p class="p4"> </p> <p class="p3">Pray the words from the chorus of "Give Me Your Eyes."</p> <p class="p4"> </p> <p class="p1">SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: </p> <p class="p4"> </p> <p class="p3">“Encouraging Others in Loving Jesus” YouTube Channel continues to grow.
