Moving the Church Forward AND WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT? Attitudes to Develop WHAT IS AN ATTITUDE, AND WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT? Attitude defined: 1. A person’s prevailing tendency to respond to an object, a person, a group, or an event. 2. Normally, we speak either of positive or negative attitudes. 3. Practically, it is how we think or feel about things.

Moving the Church Forward Attitudes to Develop WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT ATTITUDES? 1. The disciple does three things (Ezra 7:10). 2. The attitude of work (Neh. 4:6). 3. The attitude of loving God’s word (Psa. 119:97-104). 4. The attitude of sacrifice (Phil. 2:5-8). 5. The attitude of joyous suffering (Ac. 5:41). 6. The attitude of spiritual renewal (Eph. 4:22-23). 7. The attitude of being ready to suffer (1Pet. 4:1).

Moving the Church Forward THE FUTURE OF THE LORD’S CHURCH Attitudes to Develop ATTITUDES FOR THE FUTURE OF THE LORD’S CHURCH A positive attitude… A. …toward God (Mk. 12:30). B. …toward the church (2Cor. 11:28). C. …toward the assemblies of the church (Heb. 10:25). D. …about being different from the world (2Cor. 6:14-18). E. …about life (Rom. 8:28).

Moving the Church Forward Attitudes to Develop You can’t keep your attitude a secret: You will show it in your face, your voice, and your actions. If the church is going to move into the future and do all that God wants us to do, then we must have a good attitude - the proper attitude. Are you moving forward with the proper attitude?
