Spectator or Participant



Scriptures


Luke 9:1-17

Thought

While Jesus was working in his ministry here on earth the disciples where spectators at least for the first year or so. They witnessed him preaching, teaching, healing the sick, raising the dead, and much more. At some point Jesus looked at them all and told them their training was done and they must go out and further the kingdom.

There is a point in every Christian’s life when we have to stop sitting on the sidelines and start actually playing the game. Sadly there are many that never make it to that point. For whatever the reason it’s hard for us to allow Jesus to lead us into roles where we help further God’s kingdom.

Questions

Provide scriptures along with your answers


Today we are told to go out and heal the sick to do God’s work, we are simply asked to what?

What does it mean to you to depend on Jesus as he depended on God?

What experiences have you had when you involve yourself in someone that needs God in their life?

How do you start getting involved in God’s ministry?

Challenge

Come up with some way you and your family can become more involved in what is happening at Franklin Church of Christ. What is that you can do in order to help bring more people to God’s kingdom?
