Re-engage

Simply put, as we look to reengage with evangelism as a church, as we look to to heighten our that within us, we just need to get to a place where we can ask people to come to church. That's it. It's it's it's that do do you know that we we've been talking about this a lot in some of the prayer meetings and and places that actually if somebody comes to church and encounters Jesus, their life will be changed. They cannot deny that encounter. [00:13:41] (39 seconds)  #InviteToChurch

But an ambassador is a representative of the person or the country that sent them. They go with a level of authority to speak on behalf of that country. And we are all ambassadors of Jesus. We are a representative of Christ. And so my question to you is, are you representing him well? Do you embody his characteristics? Do your actions, do your thoughts show what it is really like to be a follower of Jesus, to be a Christian? [00:08:00] (47 seconds)  #AmbassadorForChrist

We need to get to a place where we can invite people to church where we feel comfortable. I want to just reiterate that warning though, that if your behavior doesn't represent Jesus very well, please don't invite them to church Because they won't come if they think that's what they're gonna turn into. Maybe this morning, God is speaking to you through the Holy Spirit and saying, You need to be a better employer or employee. Perhaps you need to change the way you talk to your kids.

But I know having met Jesus, my life changed for the better. And I would say that I would go through anything. I'd I'd rather go through any trouble with Jesus in my life than without him. And that is my testimony, and nobody can take that away from me. I've been very fortunate in my life. I haven't gone to through too many hard times. [00:25:51] (31 seconds)  #JesusChangedMyLife

And that's what we're called to do. We're called to introduce people to Jesus. We're not called to have all the answers. We want to be able to try and answer as many of the questions as we can. But we are just called to bring people to a place where they can meet Jesus and encounter him perhaps for the first time. [00:26:53] (23 seconds)  #BringPeopleToMeetJesus

And maybe you're sitting here this morning or you're watching online later, and you're you are grieving a damaged relationship with a child. Maybe it is that estrangement. Maybe it is the loss of a of a baby. And I just want you to know that God loves you, and God cares for you. And if that is you, after the service, come and talk to me. And let me just pray with you.

Recently, many of know, I lost my mom. And I can't imagine going through that without having Jesus in my life. It's been a challenge, but having Jesus in my life has made such a difference. I don't want to promise you that becoming a Christian means everything's going to be perfect. It doesn't. There will be challenges, But having him in your life makes those challenges so much more bearable. [00:26:22] (30 seconds)  #JesusInTheStorm

So how we act as an ambassador will say more. We want people to ask why why have you got that peace? Why have you why when things are going wrong are you so calm? And many of us will be able to answer that question by saying it's because we know Jesus and it doesn't stop the bad things from happening to us. [00:12:43] (23 seconds)  #PeaceInChrist
