Summary
In this sermon, Bro Mike discusses Jesus’ counseling techniques and how they varied based on the person He was interacting with. He contrasts Jesus’ gentle approach with the woman at the well and the woman caught in adultery against His firm stance with the Pharisees. The pastor draws from his own counseling background to explain how sometimes a gentle approach is needed for wounded souls, while other times a more direct confrontation is necessary when dealing with rebellion or demonic influence.
Intro Prayer
Heavenly Father, as we gather to discuss Your Son’s perfect wisdom in dealing with different people, open our hearts to receive what You want to teach us today. Help us discern when to be gentle and when to be firm in our interactions with others. Give us Your eyes to see beyond the surface and Your heart to respond with love and truth. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Ice Breaker
Think about a time when someone approached you in exactly the right way during a difficult moment in your life. What did they say or do that was particularly helpful?
