This week’s Biblical Way of Being: We are called to be a people of hope. 

“But, you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."  - Acts 1:8

DON’T FORGET, WE HAVE A MESSAGE THAT MATTERS (Acts 2:22-39).

God is calling us to be a church full of people who are captured by the truth that Jesus is their only hope for life and eternity.

People are spiritually hungry and they are looking everywhere for fulfillment.

Think about the difference Jesus makes in your life.

Ephesians 1:3-14 –

Jesus changed your life...do you believe he can change the life of those around you? 

DON’T FORGET, WE ARE CALLED TO SHARE IT!

God is calling us to be contagiously eager to share our amazing message that matters with others in our lives. 

We are to be a great commission...great commandment people

(Matthew 28:18-19; Matthew 22:37-38).

A few examples from Jesus:

Luke 15 – God’s deep desire to see lost people found.

Matthew 13 – A farmer is responsible to sow seed.

There’s a lot to celebrate...

Let’s keep that spirit and that conviction alive and let’s keep declaring the message of Jesus that matters to a world that needs him so desperately.
