I remember the days before retirement … when your feet hit the floor you were off to the rat race … well that’s how it felt sometimes. Earning a living is not easy—it wasn’t then and it isn’t now. Still, we can have the easy yoke that Jesus asked us to take when we dedicate our work to Him, He guides us through it.
What about making disciples….is that something we can put off until we retire? We asked our members in the “Missions Survey” to prioritize on a scale of 1-10, how important sharing the Gospel is? The answers were encouraging—37 of the 46 respondents rated sharing the Gospel as their highest priority.
Jesus’ yoke must be worn if we are to make disciples. He tells us to put on His yoke, and learn from Him (Matthew 11:29). He will teach us how to make disciples. We can’t do this job without His help. But we can do this work anywhere God places us. We may make disciples at our work place—in our families—with our friends.
Today, we’re looking for people who will Bring a Friend to our Living Water Walk, at Callis Lake Recreation Complex on Aug. 11th at 7 p.m. By bringing a friend—one that may not be a Christian—you will be introducing your friend to a community of Christians from various churches. Non-Christians will get to experience God’s people in a non-threatening environment. This may change any pre-conceived ideas your friends has about Christians and open up a Christ-centered dialog with your friend.
Be a disciple-maker. Register today, at www.trinitydavison.org/living-water-walk and don’t forget to bring a friend.
