Day 1 in our Mission

*Situations

• Take breakfast together.
• In the service at the mission.

Why do I label someone as difficult?

Difficult?! OR?!

DON’T JUDGE (MATT 7:1)

They don’t think like me

They challenge me

They don’t respond like me

They expose my weakness

They don’t appreciate my way

Judging people is spiritually heavy

What makes me struggle with them?

Pride : I have no need for you.

-

Control : I can't see others.

​

Insecurity: Avoid communication with others

​

Competition

& now close your eyes

What Does Christ Command Me?

​

📖 “By this all will know that you are My disciples,

if you have love for one another.”

— Gospel of John 13:35

​

المسيح ما قالش:

“They will know you are My disciples by winning arguments.”

​

لكن بالمحبة.

​

📖 “Blessed are the peacemakers.”

— Gospel of Matthew 5:9

​

هدفي:

Make peace.

Not prove a point

Be careful:

1. Difference between humans & animals.
2. Resources are available but...
3. Disclaimer of responsibility.
4. Our Coptic church system: We need each other.
5. Be one hand – Ephesians 4:1-7.

KONE Internal

❤️ Spiritual Maturity

• Excuse before you accuse.
• التمس لأخيك سبعين عذرًا.
• Colossians 3:13 “ Bear with one another”.

🔄 Mercy Comes Back

"الحديد بالحديد يحدد، والإنسان يحدد وجه صاحبه." (أم 27: 17)

🤝 Two Different Servants Serving Together

• 1 Corinthians 12:14 – One body, many members.
• الاختلاف يكمل ولا يلغي..

⚖ Biggest Danger in Serving Together

• Comparison.
• Pride.
• Trying to clone others into our image.

🎯 Interactive Moment

• Think of someone you struggle with.

​

• What pain might be behind their behavior?
• غيّر العدسة..يتغير الحكم

1. Understand Before Reacting

Ask:

Why does he act like this?

​

2. Separate Personality From Intention

He may be different… not evil.

​

3. Speak Calmly

Don’t store small frustrations.

​

📖 Epistle of James 1:19

“Be quick to listen, slow to speak.”

​

4. Agree on the Goal

Mission first. Ego last.

What Should I Do When I Serve With Someone Different?

ينبغى ان ذاك يزيد و انى انا انقص يو 3

So, What shall I do!? Change !

people don’t resist change…they resist loss!

​

Change means unknowns. Change means having to relearn something. Change requires you to face the reality that you’re not in control

1- Acceptance & Tolerance

2- Constructive feedback

3- Start with the end of mind.

4- Proactivity.

5- No need for talents.

6- I Need u.

�Galatians 6

1Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any

trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted. 2 Bear one another’s burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ.

3 For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. 4 But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. 5 For each one shall bear his own load.

  1أيها الإخوة، إن انسبق إنسان فأخذ في زلة ما، فأصلحوا أنتم الروحانيين مثل هذا بروح الوداعة، ناظرا إلى نفسك لئلا تجرب أنت أيضا.�2احملوا بعضكم أثقال بعض، وهكذا تمموا ناموس المسيح.�3 لأنه إن ظن أحد أنه شيء وهو ليس شيئا، فإنه يغش نفسه.�4ولكن ليمتحن كل واحد عمله، وحينئذ يكون له الفخر من جهة نفسه فقط، لا من جهة غيره.�5لأن كل واحد سيحمل حمل نفسه.

❤️ Commitment Moment

“This week… choose one person different from you.”

• Pray for them daily.

Appreciate one quality in them.

• Serve with them intentionally.

People change when they feel loved not attacked

Inside every hard case, is a broken heart

التغيير بياخد وقت

لستم متضيقين فينا بل متضيقين في أحشائكم.

فجزاء لذلك أقول كما لأولادي: كونوا أنتم أيضا متسعين!(2كو 6: 12,13)
