Be Considerate - Phil Kendon
The idea of being considerate touches every relationship that we have. Husbands and wives should be considerate. Parents and children should be considerate. Employers and employees should be considerate. Teachers and students should be considerate. Leaders and volunteers should be considerate. People of different cultures should be considerate to one another. This biblical value touches every relationship we have and either helps it flourish the more we get it right or poisons the quality of that relationship the more we get it wrong. There are several scriptures relevant to this theme, but we will focus on the words of Jesus this morning.
