Are you ready to tell your story? I encourage you to do that today. Share what God has done in your life.

We have the privilege of being a part of the local church, serving with one another, learning and studying together. And just as these disciples were sent out, we too have been given such a commission to go and reach the world with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Not alone, but with other believers.

I may not be able to change the heart of this world, but I can say yes to God’s call on my life to obey Him.

If someone were to write a book about you, claiming that you were a Christian, would they have enough proof?

Jesus said to go and teach. Are you following the Great Commission?

Go and tell. Now that you know, now that you believe, now that you have seen it with your own eyes the work of Jesus, go and tell others about what He has done!

People are always watching and listening for inspiration. Your testimony could be just what they need to hear to draw closer to God.

As we find ourselves wrapped up in the traditions of celebrating, let’s follow Christ’s example of giving peace, forgiveness, compassion, joy, humility, and sacrifice.

When we stand before our Lord and give an account for what we have done with what we have been given, what will we say?

We do not know when the Lord will sound the call. We must be ready now. Are you?

Our job is to share the gospel and make disciples for God’s glory, but for how long? Until we pass away or He returns, whichever comes first. Are you doing your job?

Jesus teaches us how to be fishers of men.

Can you imagine what the world would be like if we followed just these two commandments? Love the Lord with all your heart, soul and mind, and love your neighbor as yourself.

Joshua was a great leader and example for his family, his community and all that he encountered. Could the same be said for you and me? Are we the leader God has instructed us to be? To our families, to our community, to all those we encounter… let us be great leaders and show them the truth of Jesus Christ!

You can believe a small seed of faith planted in God’s power produces the impossible if it is planted securely in God’s Word. 

The best way for our churches – and subsequently God’s kingdom – to grow is by word of mouth. So open your mouth and invite someone.

If you’re not passionate about having gospel conversations with people, you are not obeying God’s will.

Today, our Hero’s story is the greatest ever told. Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, came to this earth to redeem His people from sin.

Jesus is the only one who can change the lives of the lost who, by the way, you likely won’t find within the walls of your church.

The gospel is a story worth sharing.

It’s that simple. Share the love of Christ with all those we come in contact with. Share the gospel, the truth that Jesus loves them, yes even when they were sinners, and He gave His life for them. Tell them of how He saved you. Tell them of the hope that you have.

Once you have met the Savior of the world, and surrendered your life to Him, you’ll want everyone to know . . . so don’t keep it in!

Everything Jesus did as God was about intentionally seeking and saving the lost.

If you’re not allowing Jesus to guide your path, you will not see the people he wants you to reach.

Jesus taught some countercultural things, like what winning and losing really mean.

Let God use you, no matter what stage of life you’re in, to bring someone to the foot of the cross.

Yes, God offers forgiveness and grace to believers, but he also requires sacrifice.

We say we’re passionate about reaching people for Christ, but are we actively pursuing the lost?

Is your primary goal to share the good news of the gospel or to do comfortable, familiar things?

What about that guy you just passed on the street? Does he need you to be Jesus in the flesh today?

Representing Jesus and sharing Christ’s message is the real point this season.

This radical movement can change your life and change the world.

Sundays-only Christianity is alive and well and prevents salvation of the lost.

Sometimes that “crazy old man” is warning you of the danger to come.

A disease that has killed many, it will run rampant unless we stop it.

Discipleship, which includes caring for, counseling, and leading people, is happening globally.

To affect culture in a positive way you must see yourself as a missionary.

Knowing who you are in Christ and having a deeper relationship with him is priority one.

A church that fails to minister to the undeserving is a church without a harvest of souls.

God invites us to share in the responsibility of shining the light of his glory.

Sometimes God sends people to dust us off and carry us back to Jesus and his living water.

The devil hates the Bible and those who quote it, so defeat him by studying it.

We’re meant to spend our time urgently telling people about Jesus’ love for all mankind.

Words can build up or destroy, so next time you lash out, lash your tongue instead.

God has given us the responsibility to steward our lives well and according to his will.

Throughout their ministry the Gaitans have seen how God plants seeds in people’s hearts.
