More Important This Day than Ever for You to Talk the Talk and Walk the Walk of God’s Word to Those Confused and Fearful of the World

More Important This Day than Ever for You to Talk the Talk and Walk the Walk of God’s Word to Those Confused and Fearful of the World

MESSAGE SUMMARY:

In today’s “Social Distancing”, sharing God’s Word my seem difficult; but people are thirsting for hope and answers for their fear and uncertainty -- God’s Word has their answers. They can hear God’s Word when you speak up at every opportunity; but, more importantly, they can see Christ and God’s Word in you by the way you live and personally handle issues in this Coronavirus world.  Jesus expects you to go and to make Disciples while sharing God’s Word. In normative times, God’s Word can best be shared through your personal relationships. However, today, your mission fields are everywhere! When you discuss the Gospel with those you know well, you are often inhibited and constrained. Paul tells you, in Romans 1:16, that you should never be ashamed to communicate the Gospel: “I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.". When you communicate stories of your life situations and experiences with the people you know and with whom you have relationships, they will ask you questions. From these conversational questions will come a natural discourse about your faith and relationship with Jesus in your life because you are a follower of Jesus. In Mark 5:19-20, Jesus was very explicit that we are to go to our “friends” and tell them of Jesus’ good news: “’Go home to your friends and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.’ And he went away and began to proclaim in the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him, and everyone marveled.". Jesus, in Luke 9:26, also, cautioned us about being ashamed or constrained in communicating His Word: “For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.". It is more important today than ever for you both talk the talk and walk the walk of God’s Word at every opportunity!
