We need to become AWARE!!!There are people hurting all around us! There are people who dont know Jesus and are dying and going to hell! We need to reach out to the lost! Lets stop thinking about ourselves and start thinking about others!
How do we become AWARE?
1. A- Awakened
Eph. 5:14
This is why it is said: "Wake up, sleeper!
Rise from death, and Christ will shine on you."
We have to be AWAKENED to the people around us that don’t know Jesus! The ones that are hurting! I believe we have “Sleeping Giants” in our churches! There are teenagers dying and going to hell and we are stuck in our own little world!
2. w-Willing
Is. 6:8
Then I heard a voice from the Lord that saying, who will I send,
who will go for us? So I said, here I am send me!
We have to be willing to go! Willing means We to be prepared to do something! Eager and Ready! When God speaks we need to be ready and not give excuses!
3. A- Action
Matthew 28:19
So go and make followers of all people in the world. Baptize them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit
Once we are willing, we have to go!! We cant sit in our chairs and do nothing!! We just cant leave it up to the uth pastor to do it all!! We have to GO!!
4. R- Risk
1 Kings 18:36
At the time for the evening sacrifice, the prophet Elijah went near the altar. "Lord, you are the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel," he prayed. "Prove that you are the God of Israel and that I am your servant. Show these people that you commanded me to do all these things
Elijah took a risk!! He did different things! W put wood on the altar and ask God to make fire from wood that was drenched in water! He took a risk! Reaching out is risking your popularity, your friends, people will make fun of you! BUT one changed life is worth it!
5. E- Echo
1 Corinthians 11:1
Follow me as I follow Christ!
Our lives must echo (model) Christ life!
