the messenger-6/12

The messenger-shared by Max

Mark 5:19-20
19 Jesus did not let him but said, ' go home to your family and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you’.
20 so the man went away and began to tell in the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him. And all the people were amazed.

1GO-go home to your friends

Roadblock- fear of rejection

= Afraid people reject Christianity

= Afraid people no longer are my friends

= Afraid if I kept sharing with them

2 TELL/PROCLAIM- tell them what great things the Lord has done for you

Roadblock-fear of telling

= Afraid people think weird of me

= Afraid ‘limited’ knowledge towards truth

3 BEGAN- start to share life and His words

Roadblock-lack of urgency and passion

= Someone else will do that part

= Bound by excuses

Checkpoints

>>>Gospel has the power

Romans 1:16- I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes, first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.

>>>cultivate a heart of urgency

Acts 20:24- However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me- the task of testifying to the gospel of God’s grace.
