As an instrument in the Redeemer’s hands, what do you do with the tools God places in your hands? When Jehovah called him to ministry, Moses was sure that the people would not believe him or listen to his voice. Then God asked, “What is that in your hand?” (Exodus 4:2). This common instrument (a stick) turned out to be a tool that communicated the presence and power of God.
Something will soon be put into your hand – a book. God has moved a generous donor to purchase enough paperback copies of 7 WORDS that can CHANGE YOUR LIFE so that every family can be given a book to give away to someone among your FRAN.
Here are some recommendations on what you can do:
Ask someone to read it. You can be ready to dialogue about the gospel.
Ask someone to read and study it together with you.
Disciple a new believer.
Give is to someone you can invite to study with your Care Group
Start an 8-week outreach or discipleship Bible study (there is precedent for this – with fruit!).
Give it to someone in a legalistic system and invite them to discover living by grace.
Do you want to see the Spirit of God work? Be a willing instrument in his hands to extend grace to more and more people with the simple tool of a book.
On the Conversation about Merging:
Taking the initiative to reach out is key. Numerous folks have reached out already – from both churches. You can reach out with questions, reach out to make acquaintances (I’ve been blessed by this!), reach out to explore, reach out to pray together. Tomorrow night’s Prayer Gathering (6:00 p.m.) will focus on this conversation.
Here is a link to the FAQ document handed out on Sunday. A Q&A meeting is scheduled for this coming Sunday (19th) at 6:00 p.m. including pastor Shean and his board chairman, Jeremy Henry.
