Yesterday we looked at 7 tips for talking to your neighbors about Jesus from theResurgence.com. Today RelevantMagazine.com gives us 10 ways to engage the world for Christ wherever we find ourselves.
It has been one year since our R3 Discipleship conference. This Sunday, January 29, we will gather for worship, interaction, and encouragement to follow through on our commitment to reproducing disciples of Jesus.
This workshop will feature two identical sessions at 9:30 and 11AM in the Family Center Auditorium at Fellowship Bible Church of NWA [same location as the conference last year] and is open to all.
For more information contact Clark Nolen at clnolen@fellowshipnwa.org.
7 Tips for Talking to Your Neighbors About Jesus
The first R of R3 is REACH. If we want to reach our neighbors for Christ we have to be prepared to build a relationship with them, and we have to be ready to talk about Jesus.
Andy's Blog: Orthodontics And Disciple-making
Andy Blanks of youthministry360 writes on his blog about how orthodontics and discipleship have more in common than you might think.
Jesus in Luke 18:7-8
You have probably seen the spoken word poem about religion vs. the gospel that has gone viral. At the time of this writing it has over 15 million hits on YouTube. It has sparked some controversy, which is not too surprising considering that it doesn’t pull any punches. In this post at theResurgence.com Tim Keller outlines the key differences between RELIGION and THE GOSPEL.
Mike Breen continues his thoughts on integrating discipleship into your everyday life in this excellent blog post.
“Please Mom and Dad, share some more of your wisdom with us!”
After the laughter died down, my friend went on to say that her oldest son was thirty and she was still waiting to hear one of her children say that to her and her husband. She was teaching on the topic of healthy relationships in the context of family. And she was right. Kids don’t normally go to their parents and ask them to share from their wealth of wisdom. And most adults don’t ask for that either.
That’s where you come in, disciple maker. That college guy that leads your son’s small group probably isn’t going to ask you to help him understand how to integrate faith and life in his 20’s. Your next door neighbor probably won’t ring your doorbell and ask you to help her know what a biblical marriage looks like. Your relational world is full of “probably won’t.” That’s why we have to seize the everyday moments. That’s was my friend’s point in her teaching and it’s what I am thinking about in terms of discipleship.
That college guy? Tell him you are watching the game Saturday night and you’d love to have him drop by. Then be intentional about asking him about his faith-life on campus. The neighbor? Invite them over for a cookout and bring up the topic of hard it is to have a healthy marriage. You can think of another half-dozen “probably won’t” people in your sphere of influence. Now think about them in terms of an everyday moment … a moment that with a little intentionality from you could be life-changing for someone.
