God & His Kingdom

Genesis 3:4-6

Some highlights:

• Our mission is not inside the church walls. It is outside the building, in each of our homes, and circles of influence.

• We might complain that we don’t have the house, the car, etc. that we want. But God has given you the gift of time. What will you do with it? Ask for the Holy Spirit to fill you, guide you, and empower you to do His will.

“This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.” —‭‭1 John‬ ‭3:16-18‬ ‭NIV‬‬

• We need to have an open heart, open house, and open wallet.

“Jesus traveled among all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, announcing the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness. Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he had compassion for them because they were troubled and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, “The size of the harvest is bigger than you can imagine, but there are few workers. Therefore, plead with the Lord of the harvest to send out workers for his harvest.”” —‭‭Matthew‬ ‭9:35-38‬ ‭CEB‬‬

• Jesus Christ didn’t die for the church building; he died to save people.
