THIS WEEK'S TAKEAWAYS
Key Theme:
As new creations, we have been given the service of reconciliation and the function/identity of ambassadors.
Key Application:
We must be faithful to let the Lord make his appeal through us as we share his good news to the sinner and lost.
Key Verse:
2 Corinthians 5:20- 21 “Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.”
Key Questions:
1. Who in your life right now needs an ambassador? Make a list and begin to pray for those individuals. Share with your house church or community.
2. Write out 3 practical ways you can begin to share the love of Christ with them.
3. If you are not around unbelievers think of two changes in your life you can make to put yourself in proximity to those who are lost. This could be consistently going to a restaurant, going to a new gym, going to a grocery store in a more difficult part of town, etc.

Church family, we praise God for how faithfully in so many respects you give. Our church family is undeniably generous, but we still have great needs for supplication. We ask that you give joyfully, faithfully and sacrificially in response to how our great God and Savior has given to us.
