In this world we have so much to worry about, to stress over, to fret about…but Jesus is very clear in Matthew 6:25-34 and really throughout the Bible that we are not to worry and we are not to be afraid. While things on earth may not always be as we hope or want, God is in control. This is hard to hold onto at times, but put your hope in the solid rock.
Sermon: Do Not Worry
As Pastor Shannon concludes her missional church series, we take a look at what happens if we are actually being a church on mission for God. While our goal and purpose is to *GO* and make disciples, to be Christ’s witnesses and to be a sent people…if we are actually doing this people will be drawn to the church. The question that comes from this is, are we ready? Are we ready for people to come to our churches? Read Luke 5:1-11 in preparation and think about whether or not your church is ready for people to come.
Pastor Shannon shares the keys to personal evangelism from the example of Philip in Acts 8:26-40. These six steps are still relevant for personal connecting with someone about God. We may not be Philip, but we are people whom God can use to further the Kingdom if we are willing to be used!
As we continue to study Acts, Pastor Shannon gives a guide to being missional from the Acts disciples, Peter and John. Read Acts 3:1-26 in preparation. We may not be Peter and John, but we are people whom God can use to further the Kingdom if we are willing to be used. This 5 step guide is a helpful reminder of how we can be missional every day as we live our normal life.
