The Great Commission requires us to share the gospel. With God’s power, we are commanded to teach all nations, baptizing them and discipling them to follow Jesus. Though it may not be easy, we must prioritize this task, as it is essential for the salvation of others and the fulfillment of God’s purpose. Our study…
Spiritual growth is required of the well rooted and built up Christian. As we look at Colossians 3:15-4:18, Paul writes of many areas where growth is needed in the Lord: In our worship, in giving thanks, in submitting to Godly authority, and so on. Friend, if you’re not well rooted, let today be the day…
God makes it clear that as a Christian we’re not to just kick back and wait for this life to be over. God has committed much to our care. 1 Timothy 6:20-21 and other passages make mention of the things that Jesus has committed to us to do while we’re here on earth. These things…
As Christians there’s a need for us to unite as we serve God in the important ministry of bringing people to Christ. Mark 2:1-12 gives us the account of 4 men who worked together to bring one sick to Jesus to be healed. If they hadn’t worked together, that man’s life would have been much…
In Matthew 18:11-13 we’re given the example of Christ going after the one that has wandered off, are we willing to follow this example and do our part to share the Gospel with those we know?
When we consider the life of Paul we often think of his faithfulness to the cause of Christ. In Acts 18:7-11 we get a glimpse of this faithfulness as he stays and does the work required to strengthen the ministry. What about us? Will we strengthen our missionaries, our pastors, our church members, our families?…
As we consider missions and the importance of them, we must consider the need for spiritual meat to go forth that others may grow spiritually. This is what Paul challenged the Corinthians to in 1 Corinthians 3:1-8 – that they grow in spiritual matters and become mature!
Why are missions so important to the spreading of the Gospel? Romans 1:18-25 gives us a starting point as we consider that Christ Himself made it clear this was His method for how others would be told the good news!
As the church in Acts began to send out missionaries, we see from Acts 13:1-4 that they did it with a plan from God as He called Saul and Barnabas to go out. Will we support God’s plan for sending the Gospel forth?
As we study Matthew 9:35-38 we see Christ’s heard for the lost as He asks us to pray for laborers to go forth unto the harvest. Let us join together in praying for this great need that still exists today!
