tell people about Jesus // Thursday E-Devotion

Acts 20:24 (nlt) --- But my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God.

Take a look at a cool website that Frances Chan has pointed people to. It is called " Just Stop and Think" and is a 15 minute video presentation of the gospel.

What I want to remind each of us about is that we have countless opportunities to talk to people about Jesus every day. We need to take those moments. Seize the opportunities letting Jesus fill us. But some people we cannot talk to. We can send them a link to this site and let God use the wonder of the world wide web and multi media to speak for us.

We are called to share His story, and that is what I am committed to at the Martinsville Speedway this weekend. Around 90,000 people come to town and Jesus is walking among them (in Spirit and in us). Our opportunity is to share and help and point people to Jesus. We're gonna do just that.

Pray for people to be saved, the saved to be encouraged and for doors to be open where we can talk a lot about our Savior.

Point people to Jesus. Be creative about it.

One of our most important truths at The Community Fellowship is that we are to get the attention of our community and while we have their attention, tell them about Jesus. Whether it is 5 minutes, 50 minutes or 5 seconds. The message is all about Jesus.

Colossians 3:17 (niv) --- And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Colossians 4:5 (nlt) --- Live wisely among those who are not believers, and make the most of every opportunity.

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns. One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns. When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her. Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved. Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?" Beverly said, "Why yes I do." Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

John 13:4-5,14 NLT So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow. He served. He valued and gave value to others. That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet. It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives. Jesus said we should do this. See the verse above. Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
