Weekend Series: Scary Things God Asks Us to Do

DreamTeam Writer: Kelly Pagel

Saturday, October 28, 2023

During this past week, we’ve learned how we are God’s method to share his message with the world. It can be scary to think about, but it's an incredible opportunity to be an ambassador for Christ. And it doesn’t have to be hard. We can spread the Gospel message simply by serving others, inviting them to church, or telling others what a difference Jesus has made in our own lives when we share our story.

Today, I invite you to carve out a few quiet moments to reread the verses that really spoke to you this week. Some possibilities may include Matthew 28:18-20 or 1 Peter 3:15-16. Then look back on the notes you captured from last Sunday and reflect on the actions you took this week. 

You may consider making additional notes as you explore the following questions:

What is one simple way you could serve someone around you in the name of Jesus this week?  

Have you written out your story so you can share it with others?

Have you invited someone to Halloweekend? This fun weekend makes for an easy invite.  

Do you want to learn more about sharing Jesus with those around you? Join one of our “Nah, I’m Good” Groups, where we will be going through the book of Jonah and learning more about evangelism. They are easy to register for in the Featured Groups section of the CedarCreek app. 

Prayer:
Father, I am so grateful for the person (or people) you worked through to introduce me to Jesus and the life-changing adventure with you. I am so thankful they were willing to share your message of love and reconciliation with me. Use me Lord to serve others, invite people to church, or simply share my story in order to spread the Good News of your love and redemption. In Jesus’ name, amen. 

Series Theme Verse:

Matthew 6:33
Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.
