be creative

 


I am preaching through our church’s core values, and yesterday we talked about creativity.  I challenged our church to be creative with how we share the Gospel.  We ought to share the most important thing we have with others.  Share what is eternal and stop worrying about things that are temporary.


Paul went to great lengths to see that he did not miss what was in his heart and his calling.  He was an “all in” kind of guy.  There was no way to be half way or casual about this stuff.  He meant business with God and knew that what was entrusted to him was a big deal.


Every day we are distracted the various things happening around us.  Whether it is news or politics or the coronavirus, the happenings of the present day are being used to kick us off center, to remove the main thing, to keep us from sharing what really matters.  God has changed our lives, and He will change others.


Honestly, I believe we have pushed the main thing to the proverbial back burner in America today.  Not just today but for a long time.  It is imperative that we understand the gravity of salvation and the Gospel.  This is the reason why the church exists and we are alive.  We must do all we can share the love God with others. 


1 Corinthians 9:23  NLT

I do everything to spread the Good News and share in its blessings.


Here is where creativity comes in to view for us.  What will we do so that others will come to know God as we know God?  Think about it.  Don’t stay where you are or as you any longer.


People need Jesus.  You and I are the ones God has chosen to share this message with others.

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....
