Last topic (Class 5): Goal-Oriented ministry Two Goals of the early church #1 PLEASING GOD #2 SAVING SOULS
Last topic (Class 5): Goal-Oriented Kailangan talaga ang evangelism... • Not just for the saving of souls who need the gospel of Jesus Christ • But for the saving of souls who have the gospel of Jesus Christ!
When we don’t evangelize • 1. Christians wither, and are cut off for not bearing fruit - Jn 15:1-8 • 2. Churches are removed from their relationship with the Lord, and die - cf. Re 2:1-5; 3:1-2
Acts: An “Anyone Can” Ministry Acts Devotional Series Class #6
The‘natural outline’ from Acts 1:8 • Jerusalem – Acts 1-7 • Judea and Samaria – Acts 8-12 • ‘Ends of the earth’ – Acts 13-28 Ang Dios ang may pangarap, at sya ang tumutupad!
God has the biggest dreams • He knew Acts 1:8 before it happened • He made it happen in his method and his timing • He used all kinds of people to make his dream a reality
In Acts, God used all kinds of people • Peter, a fisherman • Gamaliel, a Pharisee • Paul, a persecutor • Joseph (Barnabas), a landowner • Crispus, synagogue ruler • Ethiopian eunuch, a foreign employee • Lydia, a businesswoman • Many, many unnamed disciples!
You don’t have to be a ‘Peter’ or ‘Paul’ • God’s timing is much better than our timing • God’s methods are much better than our methods • Let God use you in his time, but let him know you want to be used
What will it take? • Encouragement from God (2x) • Encouragement from each other (6x) Kahit sino KAYA, basta’t may encouragement from God and from the family of God!
So Pasig family… Let us be the ANYONE CAN MINISTRY that God calls us to be!
