Reflections: August 22, 2010



Road Trip
This week’s “Reflection” by Gary Keith, Executive & Teaching Pastor

The Three City Tour
Acts 17

On Sunday as we studied this passage, it was clear that Paul is convinced in the power of the gospel to change lives. It is also clear that he is ready and prepared to share the gospel in a variety of settings and to people who have a variety of different beliefs.

As you consider sharing about Jesus to other people, what is it that stops you? What hinders you from being bold? Several things I thought of might include being afraid of being made fun of, not knowing what to say, being called a "Jesus freak," or maybe even what you believe others think of Christians today (let’s face it - some pretty embarrassing things have been done and said lately in the name of Jesus)?

I think it is important for us to talk about these things and work out ways to change. Why? Because the very eternal lives of people are at stake. What do you think?

  1. Totally agree! Members, Noel and Deborah Nolan attended my Share Your Faith Workshop in Whittier two weeks ago. It helped them think thru and overcome those fears that hold us back. We have a great way of equipping the Saints to share with friends, family and associates. I'd love to help if you're interested. Syfonline.org
