Share, Listen, Repeat.

Recently a friend was speaking to a group and afterwards asked for feedback.  He was concerned one part may have been too basic.  We discussed how it may seem simple if you hear it often, but it may have been a brand new idea for some.  

Back when I was a youth minister it happened over and over… we'd be at a large event and a kid would remark about some amazing thing the speaker had said.   I'd be amazed with them while quietly thinking to myself how I'd been saying that same thing for months at youth group. :-)

Both these situations show us something relevant to talking and hearing about Jesus.   With your family, your friends, even strangers, just keep proclaiming the Gospel.  We share the Word and God works in their heart.   It may be a new idea or an old idea from a new voice or a reminder at just the time they need, but we share without worrying about that and trust God to use our words.

And we continually need to hear it too.   Listen for God through those you hear speaking about Him, and be in the Word listening to Him directly.

Follow Jesus Lead Your Family 

Mark 16:15 ESV

[15] And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation. 

Isaiah 55:11 ESV

[God says…] [11] so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.

1 Corinthians 3:7 ESV

[7] So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth.
