Matthew Prather - June 24, 2018
| G R O W |
Having a relationship with Jesus should change us. The Bible tells us that we are to be transformed. It’s not a matter of focusing on self-improvement and trying to change ourselves. It’s about inviting God in, turning it all over to him, and asking Him to do the heavy lifting. We are called to be disciples of Jesus and that means that we are to develop daily habits that help us to be more like him as we learn from his example. And we are also called to make disciples, and to help them do the same!
Scripture References: Psalms 119:105, Ephesians 4:14-16
From Series: "Life On Mission"
Most of us who know and follow Jesus want to tell others about him, to share our faith. We want to live life on mission, obeying Jesus' final command to us: "Go into all the world and make disciples.” But when it comes to actually engaging in evangelism, we hesitate. We get intimidated, uncertain, or even confused. Sharing our faith should be natural, easy; but it isn’t always. In this sermon series we are going to look at topics like how to connect with unbelievers, how serving others can open their hearts to the gospel, and how paying attention to our own spiritual growth can strengthen our witness.
