CALLED TO BE Sent - Live Your Calling: What On Earth Am I Here For? – Part 6

GOD’S PLAN FOR HISTORY: He’s gathering a Family that will love and live with him forever! (Ephesians 1:5)

Romans 10:13-15 (NLT) “‘Anyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’ But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them? And how will anyone go and tell them without being SENT? That is what the Scriptures mean when they say, ‘How beautiful are the feet of those who bring Good News!’”

MY FIFTH PURPOSE & CALLING IN LIFE: I’m sent to bring others into God’s family.

HOW TO SHARE WITHOUT FEAR

Memory Verse: I Peter 3:15-16“If you are asked about your Christian hope, always be ready to explain it, but you must do this in a gentile and respectful way.”

1. Confirm my own faith.

John 5:13 “I write this to you who believe in the Son of God, so that you may know you have eternal life.”

2. Pray regularly for my friends.

Romans 1:9 “God knows how often I pray for you. Day and night I bring you and your needs in prayer to God, whom I serve with all my heart by telling others the Good News about his Son.” –

3. Tell others that I am Christian.

Romans 1:16 “I am proud to be a Christian, because the Good News is the power God uses to save everyone who believes. . .”

4. Invest in others by serving them.
Matthew 20:28 It's the same way with the Son of Man. He didn't come so that others could serve him. He came to serve and to give away his life for other people."

5. Invite my friends to church.

Luke 14:23 “"Then the master told his servant, 'Go to the roads and streets! Urge the people to come to my house. I want it to be full.”

6. Share the story of Jesus.

Ephesians 3:8 “Just think! Though I did nothing to deserve it, and though I am the least deserving Christian there is, I was chosen for this special joy of telling others about the endless treasures available to them in Christ.”

Luke 22:19“Then (Jesus) took a loaf of bread; and when he had thanked God for it, he broke it in pieces and gave it to the disciples, saying, ‘This is my body, given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.’"
