The Gospel – the Good News of Jesus – the Peace of Christ is found in the quietness and simplicity of human connection and relationship – and that is discovered as we travel this road of life together – ONE STEP AT A TIME with SHOES of hope & good news on our feet.
Matthew 28:19 NLT
Acts of the Apostles 1:8 NLT
> Do I live in proper community with others?
> Do I live my life with shoes PREPARED & READY to GO and share His Love?
> OR – do I live my life with shoes that play it safe, seeking popularity, success, & recognition?
> Are my shoes about my personal agenda or political positions?
> Are my shoes more about comfort – style … making me feel & look good?
> OR am I prepared and ready to go to the uncomfortable places, in order to bring a message of love & hope?
1 Peter 3:15 NLT
2 Timothy 4:5 NLT
Sharing the Good News of Jesus …
1) Personal (built on relationship & community)
2) Prayerful (guided by the Holy Spirit; discovered by prayer – conversation with God)
3) Peaceful (the confidence to share God’s redemption story comes with power that brings the deepest peace into your life – a CENTERING peace - even in the midst of suffering)
John 16:33 NLT
You can pray for peace today!
Lord Jesus, Today I see my sin, I see my pride, I see my selfishness and I don’t want it anymore! Jesus, take my life, and cleanse it with your love. Thank you for paying the price for my sin on the Cross. Forgive me. Heal me. Make me your child today, I pray! Jesus, today I found some new shoes – and I need your help putting them on! I want to take your Good News to my family, my friends, and anyone you send my way! Place inside of me the confidence, the love, and the PEACE to share your hope – with our broken world, I pray! Amen.
