Hey everybody, we are so glad you're here with us.

Today on Pastor Rick's Daily Hope, Rick Warren continues with an inspiring new series called

What Does It Really Mean to Follow Jesus?

Now in this powerful teaching, Rick dives into God's Word to explore how we grow spiritually, represent Christ in the world, and find

our place in God's family through the church. It's a fresh look at discipleship, purpose,

and the life-changing power of spiritual community. And now here's the final part of a message

called We Are are ambassadors.

The third responsibility of an ambassador. Number one, I must set the example. I must share the

message. I must show love. I must show love to everybody. Because if you're an ambassador, you've got to have a big heart.

And you've got to show love.

Why must an ambassador of Jesus Christ show love to everybody?

Because God is love.

And if you show anything but love to other people, you're not representing Jesus.

God is love. Now, how do I show love to the people in my life, the people I work with,

my neighbors, my family, my coworkers, my enemies, my boss? How do I do it? Three ways. That's the next three verses.

The first way I show love is by using my life to meet others' needs. When you use your life

to meet the needs of other people in a practical way, whether it's

taking them a meal or helping them with a project or offering them a ride or praying for

them or picking up something at the grocery thing or helping them with a plan or a deal,

every time you do practical help to somebody else, you serve others, you're ministering to

them, you're showing love to meet their needs. Now, this is what an ambassador does. The Bible says

this in First Thessalonians two. Paul says, we loved you so much. He's talking about the people in this town in Greece called Thessalonica. He said, we loved you so much. He's talking about the people in this town in Greece called Thessalonica.
