Discipling: “What if…?”

“Go and make disciples.” This is the call and the challenge for every person who has accepted Jesus as their Saviour and made Him King of their life. It isn’t a suggestion, or a good idea. It isn’t even an option. We are commanded to go and do.

But how are we to do accomplish this? This is always the big question, and is often where people stop. They see this task as something far too difficult or too involved, or something that is beyond their knowledge and training. Others are more knowledgeable, have taken courses or at least read books on the subject — they know what to say and when to say it in order to not sound foolish. What if someone asks me a question I can’t answer? What if they walk away? What if they laugh at me, or attack me? What if . . .? There are all sorts of “what if” questions, but that doesn’t change the fact that we are all called to do this. So how do we?

It’s good for us to remember a couple of things when we think of our call as Christians:
1. Remember who Jesus’ disciples were when He called them.
2. Remember that we have the Holy Spirit with us (we’ll talk more about Him in the coming weeks)
3. Remember that we’re not called to save people — that’s up to Jesus. We cannot save anyone.
4. And there are three more things that we need to remember, but I’ll talk about those on Sunday at our gathering!  If  you can’t make it out, all our sermons are on our website at thecentre.church

Upcoming dates:

Blessings,
Pastor Mike
