Hi Yall:
If you missed our training today, please check out this video on Poverty.
1.God’s heart for the Poor: He commands us to give food to the hungry, to clothe the naked, to plead for the cause of the unjustly treated, the poor and the needy. (Ez 18, and 1 John 3:17-18)
It is easy to for us to label a person as poor because they do not have proper food, nutrition, clean water, electricity, shoes, and proper healthcare, etc. Many of them live in the third world and make only $1.25/day among many other symptoms of poverty. They may be poor materially, emotionally but they are also poor spiritually. Without the message of the cross, there is no hope of anything different for them, no hope of leaving the cycle of poverty, no hope of leaving the slums that they live in, and most of all no hope of receiving Christ and the hope of Heaven.
You see, the root of poverty is “Give Up, since no one care about us”. When we see children, orphans, widows and the poor respond to the good news, they started to understand that they have worth, and it is Jesus Christ who gives them worth. When his Son exchanged his life for ours, and demonstrated this love to us by offering his life for ours, they soon began to understand that they are worth everything to Jesus Christ. Then they start to call on his name, because they matter to Jesus. This is the first step out of Poverty.
2. Presenting the Gospel – Read Acts 2:42. Evangelism is not one of the 4 main purpose of the church. It is a way of life of the new testament church. They live it.
Do you know why the modern day church don’t share the gospel.
Main reasons:
1) We don’t care – the ‘me” world…. have very little thoughts and time to think about the needs of others. Don’t care about the eternal state of the person who does not know Jesus. (Paul cares about the eternal state of those who does not believe, to the extent of wishing that he be accursed for his fellow Israelites who do not believe – Romans 9:3)
2) We don’t know how – practice your testimony, learn the Roman’s road (Rom 3:23, 6:23, 5:8, 10:), and key verses in presenting the gospel (from your training manual). Care to learn? Read 2 Tim 4:2.
3) We’re not convinced – not convinced that we ourselves believe that Jesus is the only Way, Truth and life. Know the God of the Bible, check out Ez 18.
Please read through the training manual, and check out the homework. You can email it to JosiahG@calvaryftl.org and ChristabelC@calvaryftl.org.
Our next meeting is Sunday 6/24, Green Room from 3pm to 5pm (latest).
Blessings
