![]() ![]() We are to be Christ’s ambassadors to the world. It is more than praying for missionaries. Sharing the truth of Jesus is more than simply supporting missionaries who are on the mission field. We, like Jesus, should feel the call to share the truth of Jesus that is in our hearts with others who do not know Jesus. We should feel what Jesus felt for the lost and, when we do, we will partner with Jesus to reach the lost. Understand, the Holy Spirit-the spirit of Christ-is in you. As we look around today, we should have that same feeling and desire to see the lost saved. This is our calling.Īs Jesus wept over the city of Jerusalem, it was filled with people who did not recognize Jesus as the son of God and they were living far from God. God desires that each of us have a role in the plan of God and to reach the world with the Gospel. Just as someone once told you about Jesus, you are all called to share your faith in Jesus with others. You are not saved to simply slide or coast into heaven. In fact, Jesus even lays out a step-by-step guide for us to follow. God promises to walk this road with us, to get his people back. The good news is we don’t have to do it alone. He desires that all would have an opportunity to hear the Gospel message and believe, to change the focus of the spiritually lost from their selfish desires, and for the lost to know and seek Jesus. Today, we will see that God desires every believer to reach the world with the Gospel. Jesus wants our focus, our full attention on him so that we can have a happy life. Once we start walking with God in faith and obedience to the truth of the Gospel, we will embrace his will and his plans for our lives, God will direct our steps and future, and we will begin to be used by God. His motive and heart of love is for your good. God knows the future and he has a plan for your life, which is a million times better than any plan you may have. God is all-knowing all-powerful and ever-present. And most recently, we focused on our future and learned to trust God with it. We learned that fear occurs when we take our eyes off of Jesus, focusing on distractions invites problems, and doubts arise when we lose focus of Christ. Next, we focused on Jesus and not to become distracted. We learned to recognize wrong turns, replace unhealthy thoughts with the truth of God, and that we need accountability. The past several weeks we have focused on truth in scripture: we focused on the good and learned to steer clear of negative thinking and the lies that seem to bombard us every day. ![]() Wondering about your purpose?
