where are you going

Where are you going? We all go somewhere. I mean at some point you will leave home. Maybe it just to work or the store or maybe school. Might even go on some kind of trip, but you are going somewhere.

Matthew 28:19-20 NLT

Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. 20 Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.

People in the church or Christianity call that the Great Commission. It is a clear directive to share the Gospel with those who have not met Jesus. But we might miss the clarity of these verses.

As you are going make disciples.

I am with you every where you go.

Thus, you are going places, and as you go, share your story with the people you come in contact with. Let others know how God has impacted your life. You have a story.

Add to that the promise of God’s presence with you. That is a big, big deal. God is going before you, is with you and doesn’t want us to buy the lie of the enemy that we are alone.

We have a story to share that will help others become followers of Jesus, to be disciples.

I remind you to make a difference in the world around you. With the storm last we there are many opportunities to share resources and to give to make a difference. Find somewhere around you that you can be part of helping those in need. For some info you can go to https://www.sbcv.org/hurricane-helene-relief/

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....
