Christian? - “A Desire to Share"

“Christian? What it means to be a follower of Jesus” The word is used by a lot of people, but what does it mean to be a Christian? Join us as we study God’s Word to find the answers to this question. Christian? - “A Desire to Share” #1. That’s the example of the early church. Acts 2 – they started where they lived Acts 8 – they went to surrounding areas Acts 13 – they went all around the world Acts 4: 20 "...for we cannot stop speaking about what we have seen and heard." "Do I have the can’t heppits?" #2. That's the command we've been given. Acts 1: 8 "...but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth." Matthew 28: 18-20 And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Luke 19:10 For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost. John 20: 21b ...as the Father has sent Me, I also send you. Matthew 4: 19 And He said to them, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Jesus last words (paraphrased): "Okay, kids. Take the Good News to everyone. See you when I get back." #3. That's the response of a changed life John 4: 28-30, 39-42 So the woman left her waterpot, and went into the city and said to the men, 29 "Come, see a man who told me all the things that I have done; this is not the Christ, is it?" 30 They went out of the city, and were coming to Him. 39 From that city many of the Samaritans believed in Him because of the word of the woman who testified, "He told me all the things that I have done." 40 So when the Samaritans came to Jesus, they were asking Him to stay with them; and He stayed there two days. 41 Many more believed because of His word; 42 and they were saying to the woman, "It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves and know that this One is indeed the Savior of the world." Ways to share Jesus: #1. seek to live a Godly life in front of others #2. look for doors to open daily (especially offer to pray with people) #3. be more intentional at times What’s the “Big Idea” today? A big indicator that I am a child of God is having a desire to share Him with others.
