33% of Christians don't believe it's their responsibility to share their faith
Proclaiming the Good News is really about “bearing witness” to Jesus and what He has accomplished, sharing His Word as found in the Bible, and demonstrating His Kingdom through the power of the Spirit and transformed lives.
Luke 10:1-2 After this the Lord appointed 72 others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go. He told them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field."
Acts 11:21 The Lord's hand was with them and a great number of people believed and turned to the Lord.

PCC BENEDICTION
May you jump into the arms of Jesus.
And may He push you out into the world.
May you be healed as you participate in the healing of others.
Not because you must, but because you may.
This is why we were born!

Beyond Sunday
The Book of Acts details the start of the early church. In this seven-week series, we will call ourselves to strive toward our six PCC values as we are inspired by those who did the same as they established the Church. And if we do so, both individually and corporately, we will experience freedom and become a part of His glorious movement in a needy world. This week we reflect on how commitment to share Jesus can change the world.
1. Who shared Jesus with you and how did it change your life?
2. Reflect on what Jesus told the disciples in Matthew 28:19-20 and then what they did (Acts 11:19-26). What took place in the disciples’ hearts and minds in order for them to follow through with what Jesus commanded?
3. What hinders us from sharing Jesus with others? And what motivates you to share Jesus with others?
4. If sharing Jesus was as simple as finding those who are persons of peace (interested in you and what you have to share) and telling them what you have experienced with God, how would that change your motivation and approach with others?
5. BLESS (Begin with prayer, Listen, Eat, Serve, Share) is a simple way of compassionately connecting with others and in time sharing Jesus with them. Who in your life do you desire to BLESS and why? How will you commit to do so?
