6/16/14- Sharing Christ

17When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:16-20)

Thoughts: Jim Skiminer, Scottish preacher at 1st Pres. Plymouth, MI, preached on this passage today.  His church and mine- though 500+ miles apart are very similar.  We have about 1200 members and about 400- 450 coming each week.  We are mission focused with strong youth groups.  We have more children.  But he preached a great sermon reminding us that we are to go out and serve and share.  
In the Motor City, he told about Tesla Motors, who makes innovative electric cars.  Ironically, they do not keep their patents to themselves but shares their technology open so that better cars can be made.    The same can be said of some of the best of the internet- which shares information freely in order to enhance human beings.  We are not to keep the gospel to ourselves, but share the love.  Great message that I wanted to pass on- to share the love. 

Prayer: Lord, all that I have is a gift from you.  Help me to share the blessings I have with others who need you.
