Sharing the Word with Others
OPENING PRAYER:
Heavenly Father, as we conclude this week of study, help us to share the truths we have learned with others. Give us the courage and wisdom to be faithful witnesses of Your Word. Amen.
"Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
Matthew 28:19-20 (NIV)
REFLECT:
In the Great Commission, Jesus commands His followers to go and make disciples of all nations. This involves teaching others to obey His commands and sharing the truths of God's Word.
The Great Commission is a call to action for all believers. Jesus commands us to go and make disciples, teaching them to obey everything He has commanded. This involves sharing the truths of God's Word with others and helping them to grow in their faith.
In the message, Rodney shared a story of how he helped a friend discover Jesus by reading the book of John together. This simple act of sharing God's Word had a profound impact on his friend's life. It reminds us that we all have a role to play in sharing the gospel and helping others to grow in their understanding of God's Word.
Sharing the Word with others doesn't have to be complicated. It can be as simple as inviting a friend to read the Bible with you or sharing a scripture that has impacted your life. The key is to be intentional and to rely on the Holy Spirit for guidance. As we share God's Word, we not only help others to grow but also deepen our own understanding and faith.
Is there anyone in your life who could benefit from studying the Bible? As you walk alongside them, consider sharing a meaningful passage that has encouraged you or maybe even inviting them to join you in a group Bible study. Pray for opportunities to share God's Word and for the courage to be a faithful witness.
I WILL STATEMENT:
I will open my mind and study the scriptures at a set time each day.
CLOSING PRAYER:
Lord, thank You for the privilege of sharing Your Word with others. Give me the courage and wisdom to be a faithful witness. Help me to be intentional in sharing the truths I have learned and to rely on Your Holy Spirit for guidance. Amen.
