This month we will be focusing our attention on Evangelism. It is one of the most important roles of the church and believers but yet is one of the greatest weaknesses in the church today. First, why is it the one of the most important things that a church should do? That is pretty simple. God's Word is clear that it is God's desire that no one be lost. God's Word also makes it clear how that can occur. Through a relationship with Jesus Christ. Finally, for this to happen two things work in unison. The moving of the Holy Spirit and the partnership of believers.
This month we will do our best to help overcome some fears around sharing our faith. We will utilize God's word to examine how this best occurs. And hopefully some tools and encouragement will be provided so that there is a comfortability and excitement about sharing our faith and helping others to know Jesus.
If we know people who don't have Jesus in their lives it should break our heart. It should move us to wise and thoughtful action to play a role in helping others grow closer to their loving God. It is my prayer that in the coming months our confidence will grow. That the number of brothers and sisters in Christ that we have will grow. And ultimately that the kingdom of God will Grow. Please join us in this exciting adventure!
Blessings,
Pastor Philip Reimers
