A passionate follower of Jesus said “I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart. For I could wish that I myself were cursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brothers, those of my own race, the people of Israel.” Paul said this in Romans 9:2-4 about his great desire to see his native people become followers of Jesus. He was so passionate that he was wishing that he be “cut off from Christ” if that meant that his people would accept Jesus. THATS PURE PASSION!
The only thing that matters is leading people to become followers of Jesus! It is worth living for and it is worth dying for with full passion! How can we do it?
1. Give to Bring Your Best on Easter Sunday, April 12 like you have never given before. God gave His best to us in Jesus, we owe Him no less than our best (CLICK HERE to listen and watch). This offering will be used to reach the lost through our Worship Center being upgraded to better communicate the message of Jesus to those who are not yet followers of Him. Will you passionately give towards Bring Your Best?
2. Take the HD Living business cards and give them out to people inviting them to attend on Easter Sunday, April 12. This may be the one time in the year that they are open to hearing about what Jesus has done for them. Will you passionately invite people on Easter Sunday, April 12?
3. Get ready to be in a New Small Group. The purpose of these groups is evangelism, discipleship, and community with the goal of multiplication – they exist to reach the lost! Two are now started, more will be on the way. Will you get passionate about networking with others to reach people with the love of Jesus?
Loving and Leading,
