Witnessing...

For those of you who could not make it this Sunday here is a summary on what we covered...

First of all we played a great game called Butt Cherades! Yes...sherades using your back side. Both teams did really well and tied! Max won the suck a drink through a twizzler strawl contest. We also did some celebrity impersonations and watched a clip from the movie Elf, not to mention the Elf dancing video!

We covered the topic of witnessing.

There are three things that can happen when you witness to someone...
1. They can accept Christ
2. The can reject Christ
3. You can plant a seed

We discussed that the biggest fear a person has when it comes to witnessing is the fear of rejection....but the following verses tell us that is okay to get rejected.

“If you are insulted because of the name Jesus Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.”
1 Peter 4:3

The Bible tells us that if we ever get rejected in the name of Jesus, we will be blessed and the glory of God will rest upon us!

“Blessed you are when men hate you, when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil, because of the Son of Man. Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For that is how their fathers treated the prophets.”
Luke 6:22-23

When you get rejected in the name of Jesus, God has rewards waiting for you in Heaven that will make any earthly reward seem like nothing! This is why we need to store up treasures in Heaven while we are on earth.

After reading and going through these two verses we know this: Just by knowing God, every time we share our faith, it is a winning situation. We don’t ever have to worry about Satan trying to talk us out of witnessing, because the Word of God says that we can’t lose! Every time we witness is a winning situation…this is why we need to witness to lost souls and other believers.
