Its all about Jesus… I mean is there really anything else?
December 28, 2009 | Category: You do what?
That’s been my teaching philosophy for the past 7 years. I was in my office frantically trying to figure out what message I was going to share that would highlight my creativity and provoke an emotional response from a student one Wednesday afternoon, you know an hour or two before the service kicked off, and I had an encounter with God. He basically told me, “Matt quit trying to push your stories of my Son and teach His.” I am happy to report that I shifted, and as a result God began changing lives. First of all know that its not our responsibility to convert someone, just to share with someone. I started in the book of John cause its my favorite gospel, now I feel like I should pause here and let you know that our weekly Wednesday night service is our seeker/evangelistic service so its purpose is to lead teens into a realtionship with Jesus, and I went at it verse by verse story by story and I told those students all about the life of Jesus. And it worked!!! We saw the number of students who were coming to Jesus increase to nearly eight times what it had been the previous year. Jesus tells us “that when I am lifted up from the earth I will draw all men unto myself.” Let me tell you if you will make it all about Him (whether you walk through the gospel or not), He will deliver. I mean thats why Jesus came in the first place was to change lives. So my strategy let Him. Takes the pressure off, I seriously recommend it.
