Evidences of Disciples - For you know...
Romans 1:16
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
-THIS SUNDAY'S TEXT-
In preparation for this Sunday, read Acts 17:1-9 and then read 1 Thessalonians 2.
I want to encourage you to put the following to memory:
-
Discipleship – Know and following Christ and Helping others do the same, for the glory of God.
-
Biblical Discipleships are: a. Relational b. Prayerful c. Spirit-Led d. Bible-Based e. Committed to Holiness
Discipleship is costly. Discipleship is costly. Discipleship is costly, yet making disciples is a true mark of a follower of Christ regardless of the cost.
What are some of the costs that followers of Christ face today in sharing the gospel with others and in making disciples?
-CONSIDER & MEDITATE-
From chapter 1 Thessalonians 2,
Paul writes in 1 Thessalonians 2 over and over - "for you know..." What did the church of Thessalonica "know" in regard to Paul and Sila's ministering to them?
· What were some of the costs of sharing the gospel and making disciples? · Why did Paul and Silas need boldness in God to share the gospel of God? · Is there anything that keeps you from sharing the gospel of God with others?
Will you share the good news of Christ with someone this week? Family member, co-worker, friend?
-PRAYER & THANKSGIVING- Thank God for the good news of Jesus Christ.
Thank God for salvation in Jesus Christ.
Do you need boldness in God? Pray, ask God to give you boldness in Him to share His gospel.
