This weekend we hope that you were encouraged and challenged as we looked at what it means to consider our lives for God's mission. I believe a commitment to God’s mission starts in our hearts, and is seen in the way that we live our lives in response to His mission.
As we look at scripture it is clear that people matter to God. He sent Jesus, to die on the cross to pay the penalty we never could pay. We’re saved by grace, through faith. We are adopted into his family and God becomes the perfect Father who loves us completely and unconditionally. In addition we get to do great things for God’s kingdom. Not only are we saved from the despair of the world; we are saved to make a difference at our schools, in our families, and with our friends.
Here are some things to think about.
Tips for telling your story: - Commit to praying and serving before you share your story with people.
- When talking to someone be a good listener.
- Share what it is that you love about being a Christian. Talk about the hope you have in Jesus.
- When you finish sharing, give your that person a chance to respond to what you shared.
- Keep it simple, keep it real, and be clear!
Questions to that you might be asked:
- What does it mean to be a Christian?
- How do you know if someone is a Christian?
- How do you know what you believe is true?
- How can you say that Christianity is right and all the other religions are wrong?
- How do you know that God really exists?
I hope that this helps and that God gives you amazing opportunities to change someone’s life forever!
God Bless,
Matt Sasso
