4. Honouring Through Standing With & Celebrating - Rich Bowpitt

Oasis Church Birmingham: Talks

Honour - a word often treated in our culture with a range of reactions from indifference to confusion to cynicism - is central to the culture of 'home' that Oasis is building together. It's all about how we are each invited to live seeking to build others up, rather than tear them down; bringing dignity rather than shame. The 'Building a Culture of Honour' series is all about how, as a community, we learn to live knowing that we have been honoured by God, living in the good of that honour, and showing that honour to others. This week, Rich looks at the twin themes of how we honour others by standing with them through the ups and downs of life, and celebrating others for who they are. Together, we explore how honouring flows from the foundation of how God has honoured us, draw on what we can learn from the way Jesus honoured others, and consider some practical steps to honouring one another by opening ourselves to how the Holy Spirit might want to encourage someone.
