Key Verse: “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the
Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have
commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the
very end of the age” (Matthew 28:19-20).
Bible Exploration: Mathew 28:16-20, Acts 1:1-11
The story today is about the Great Commission. Jesus clearly wants us to be his witnesses—to share our faith, so that others can have a personal relationship with him and to let them know that Jesus will return from heaven one day.
So why don't we share our faith with others? These are some of my excuses:
I'm an introvert.
I don't want to be a Bible banger and make people uncomfortable.
My friendships with non-Christians are mostly superficial - we talk about the weather or TV, not deeper issues like life and death or religion.
What are yours?
Family Challenge:
- Bring clothes and food to a local homeless shelter or
volunteer some time to a charity organization.
Get to know the people you’re serving, and learn more about
what needs you—and Jesus—can help meet.
