Sharing The Gospel

July 27th – Matthew 28:19-20

Matthew 28:19-20

Many of us struggle with sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ, feeling inadequate or fearing rejection. But Jesus promises to be with us always, providing the strength we need to fulfill this Great Commission. Sharing the Gospel doesn’t require elaborate speeches or theological expertise. It begins with our personal testimony. By speaking from the heart about God’s saving grace and the transformative impact it’s had on our lives, we authentically share the power of His love. The freedom we have in Jesus empowers us to spread the Good News, free from fear and insecurity. Our stories of redemption and grace relate because they’re real and personal, reflecting the living presence of Christ in our lives. This realness can touch hearts and open doors to faith in ways that mere words can’t. As we share our testimonies, we fulfill Christ’s command trusting that He is with us guiding our words and actions. Through sharing we become vessels of His love, extending His invitation of grace and freedom to all.

September 30th – Psalm 145:4

Psalm 145:4

One generation commends your works to another; they tell of your mighty acts.”

One of the problems this younger generation faces, is that most of them have never been taught about God. Who He is, His love for them, and the life saving grace He offers. By sharing our experiences of God’s goodness, love, and mighty works, we not only provide a foundation of faith but also inspire young people to seek a relationship with Him. A relationship that equips them with the spiritual wisdom and understanding necessary to navigate life’s challenges. When we bear witness to God’s work in our own lives and share His word with others, we become instruments of His love and redemption. This act of sharing not only strengthens our own faith but also has the potential to lead the lost to a saving relationship with God. In a world often marked by uncertainty and despair, the message of God’s steadfast love and salvation offers hope, comfort, and purpose. Thats why it’s our responsibility and privilege to proclaim His name, sharing the good news of His grace with a generation in need of His light.

September 22nd – Luke 12:8

Luke 12:8

“I tell you, whoever publicly acknowledges me before others, the Son of Man will also acknowledge before the angels of God.”

These days it seems you can’t listen to the news without hearing stories of Christians being persecuted or killed, with little public outcry. Not surprising from a world that rejects Jesus. And as times become more perilous, we as followers need to be prepared and aware. Because Christianity is under attack. And it will grow more so until the return of Jesus. That’s why we are encouraged to stand strong, and continue to openly, proudly, and boldly acknowledge our faith in Christ. To live out our faith authentically and share the message of salvation with those around us. When we openly acknowledge Jesus as our Lord and Savior, it’s a public declaration of our allegiance to Him. And when we do, Jesus in turn promises to acknowledge us before God and the angels. This means that in the divine court of heaven, Jesus will speak on our behalf, affirming our faith and relationship with Him. He will vouch, intercede, and advocate for our acceptance into God’s presence.

August 27th – Colossians 4:4

Colossians 4:4

Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should.

It’s a big responsibility to share the gospel of Jesus Christ. Paul knew that false teachers were making the rounds using trickery and deception to confuse young believers about the scriptures. So the apostle asked for prayers that his sharing of the Good News be done correctly and clearly. Because never should the Word of God be twisted into the meaning we want. Instead all Christians should follow the rule that when the plain sense of Scripture makes common sense, seek no other sense, lest it result in nonsense. That’s why Christians should pray for all fellow Christians. For we we all commanded to share the gospel. And praying for each others reminds us that as believers we are divinely connected. And prompts to uplift one another in our individual callings. It’s a powerful reminder that our unity in Christ extends beyond physical boundaries and allows us to participate in the global mission of spreading God’s love and truth to all corners of the world.

Colossians 4:5

Walk in wisdom toward outsiders, making the best use of the time.

Many agree that we are indeed living in the last days. And at anytime we could hear the call of Jesus. Time is running out. And as believers, we are called to be vigilant and wise stewards of the time we have left. Each second God gives us on this earth is to be used to advance His kingdom and for His glory. To live out our God given purpose. And to spread far and wide the saving message of Jesus Christ. Every moment is a gift, and we are entrusted with the responsibility to use it wisely. That means demonstrating love, compassion, and grace to all we meet. Being salt and light to a desperate world, striving for personal spiritual growth, and a closer relationship with the Lord. The impending return of Jesus calls us to prioritize eternal values over worldly pursuits. And to live with a sense of urgency and purpose. So let us grab hold of the remaining time to live faithfully, serve wholeheartedly, and shine brightly as we await the glorious return of our Savior.

July 30th – Proverbs 20:29

Proverbs 20:29

The glory of young men is their strength, gray hair the splendor of the old.”

In todays society youth is worshipped, and people go to great lengths to attain it. But there’s something wonderful to be said about growing old gracefully. My grandmother died at 92. Her life revolved around her love for God and her desire to serve Him. And she did so faithfully. So when she developed dementia and couldn’t serve the way she used to, it broke her heart. It was in those times that I had to remind her that God still had a mighty purpose for her. And although she might not be physically able to serve the Lord, she could still serve. For nothing can stop the Spirit of God from working in and through us. And even in our old age, we can be powerful instruments of the Lord. Even at 92 my grandmother could serve not only by sharing her faith, but also her wisdom and experiences. Because after all, as she would jokingly agree, she earned every one of those grey hairs! No matter how old or young, each day God gives us is a gift. And until we draw our last breath, He wants us to use each one for the glory of His kingdom.

March 10th – Matthew 5:13

Matthew 5:13

Not only a call from God, sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ is a blessing we as Christians get to have. And oh what an honor it is to experience the joy of leading another to a saving relationship with the Lord. But currently, the world in which we live is hostile to God and His teachings. Yet a world desperate for His saving grace all the same. And with the Lord’s soon return upon us, it’s important that we be the salt and light to a flavorless, rotten, and darkened society. How? To be the salt means to flavor the world with joy, love, and positive influences. While preserving and protecting what is good and right. To be the light means exposing the darkness and evil of Satan and his lies. Putting a spotlight on what is true and right. By shining our lights on God’s path to salvation, we bring the Lord’s assured hope of everlasting life to those who are lost and in despair. And how awesome is it that the Lord lets us work hand in hand with Him in growing His kingdom!

February 25th – John 8:12

John 8:12

Following Jesus means no longer do we walk a path of darkness. Nor do we live for ourselves and the world. Instead all we do is for the Lord and to walk in His brilliant light. And part of walking in God’s light is letting Him shine brilliantly through us to others. We do this by practicing love, humility, mercy, and forgiveness. John had a joyful relationship with the Lord. A joy made complete by leading others to having the same kind of relationship with Jesus. We too can have joy with the Lord by leading others to the Light of the world. And how could we not? For once we experience God’s grace and love, our hearts burst to tell others about the Lord! This world grows darker every day. And now more than ever, people need to hear how they can flee the darkness and receive the Light of life. A Light that will never grow dim, nor ever be extinguished!

February 24th – Mark 16:15

Mark 16:15

Jesus gives each of us a command to go out and proclaim the Good News of His saving grace. But witnessing isn’t always easy. And if you’re anything like me, you can come up with a million reasons why it’s better to leave that job to others. But then I watched a video by Penn Jillette from the magic duo Penn and Teller. Talking about Christians sharing the gospel he said, “How much do you have to hate somebody to not proselytize? How much do you have to hate someone to believe everlasting life is possible and not tell them that?” It isn’t our job to save souls, but it is our job to plant the seeds. And although God hasn’t given everyone the calling of being a preacher, He has given us all the calling of sharing our stories. And there is no greater testimony than when we share our hearts, our love for  God, and all that He has done in our lives.

Sharing The Gospel – Mark 16:15

Mark 16:15

In Mark 16:15, Jesus commands His disciples, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.” This is a command He gives to us as well. But witnessing isn’t always easy. And if you’re anything like me, you can come up with a million reasons why it’s better to leave that job to others. …
