POPULARITY
The first people Jesus sent out were surprising and yet he sent them out in his name to do the things he was doing. What does it look like for us to be sent by Jesus into the places and to the people Jesus is sending us to? Let's learn from the example of Jesus in Matthew 10.
The special mission Jesus sent the apostles on was a limited version of what was to become the Great Commission to go into all the world. This is the day to be bold for the Lord Jesus. We have been given apostolic authority and power through the infilling of the Holy Ghost. We have been challenged to be witnesses, not just to Israel, but to the whole world. Will you accept the challenge?
Everyone is called to ministry. We are called to be change agents all the time. We can have the most influence on those we spend time with. Family, job, & community are the places where we need to be ministers. You may be the only Jesus others see. How will people feel about Jesus after meeting you?
We as a church must decide if we want to be wise or foolish, good stewards or bad stewards. This is our chance to build a new approach to ensure that we build the future God desires for us and the one we desire for ourselves. I want to explore how our approach to everything can change everything.
