Theme: The Acts of the Apostles
Dear All,
Our study topic last week was The Mission Focused Church. God used it to remind us that the Church has the God-given mission of taking the gospel to the ends of the earth. This week, our topic is: Consistent Witnessing.
Our key learning from this study should include that:
- As Christ’s witnesses, we must remain focused on taking the gospel to wherever we find ourselves, keeping Jesus Christ at the center of our message irrespective of the times, season or place.
- As we go about bearing witness for Jesus and about Jesus, it will lead us to people of varying backgrounds and context. So, like Paul and Barnabas did, we must know the word of God well enough and understand the gospel adequately to be able to properly contextualize the good news to whomever we are witnessing to without distorting the message. The goal of contextualization is to aid understanding not to make the gospel easier to accept.
- Jesus said that unless we are ready to take up our cross daily and follow Him, we would not be able to faithfully discharge our calling. Paul and Barnabas would not be deterred by oppositions, tribulations (Acts 14:22).
May we make every effort and cease every opportunity to take the gospel of Jesus to the lost far and near
