People Matter God!




People matter to God!  What does that mean to us?  That means that people should matter to us as well.

When anyone comes through the doors of Southport United Methodist Church, they need to know that they matter to us.  Then, once they know that, we might have the opportunity to share with them that they matter to God.

How do people know that they matter to us?  We meet them where they are.  We can’t assume that they are where we are or where we want them to be.  When you go to a mall, sometimes there is a map of all of the stores, showing where the stores are in relationship to where you are.  You are on the map, and where you are is marked with a big “X.”  You are here! 

Everyone is at an “X” in their life.  Most likely, none of us are at the same “X.”  So, we need to meet people where they are, at their “X.”  We need to authentically and sincerely care about them where they are.  When we do, they will know they are valued, and they will return.

When they return over and over again, they will begin to see that they matter to God! 

The key is to make great first impressions (WOW moments) so that first impressions become lasting impressions.  When we do that, people will start to move from their “X” to where we all need to be:  the
t”.
