Unashamed

What a weekend.

“All your works shall give thanks to you, O Lord, and all your saints shall bless you!They shall speak of the glory of your kingdom and tell of your power, to make known to the children of man your mighty deeds, and the glorious splendor of your kingdom. Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures throughout all generations.”

Psalm 145: 10-13
…
Last weekend we gathered to be the hands and feet of Christ and to fulfill the Great Commission given to us as his disciples.

We served with , Kids for Christ, and and then went out to share with others the gospel that has changed all of our own lives, so that they might know the glorious splendor of his kingdom!

Are you ready to be equipped? Ready to share your faith, but not sure how to do it? Or maybe you just want to gain more experience?

Join us next Unashamed weekend on June 10-12!!

“Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but share in suffering for the gospel by the power of God, who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began.”

2 Timothy 1: 8-9

Today we went out into our city to share the power of the gospel that saved us and called us out of the darkness and into his light. (Ephesians 5:8)

Today we shared our testimonies with others and how God has changed our lives. Not because of anything we did, but ONLY because of his soverign purpose and his unimaginable and incomprehendible grace. (Acts 20:24)

Today we shared the story of our savior, Jesus Christ, who justfied us and restored us into a relationship with God for all of eternity. (Romans 5:1)

Today seeds were planted in our city.

Would you pray with us that those seeds take root?

Would you join us in prayer?

Pray that God would radically change hearts THIS WEEKEND.
Pray that he would use Unashamed to bring others to him.
Pray for an awakening.

“At the same time, pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to declare the mystery of Christ, on account of which I am in prison— 4 that I may make it clear, which is how I ought to speak.”Colossians 4:3-4

*Reminder*

Unashamed Training is THIS Wednesday at 6:30 pm in the West Tower, 2nd floor assembly room.

We’re excited to see you there!

Anyone else wishing it was Unashamed Weekend again?

“Finally, then, we ask and urge you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, just as you are doing, that you do so more and more.” - 1 Thessalonians 4:1

We are still so encouraged by those who stepped into the story that God invites every believer into. The story of redemption and capturing people’s heart with the gospel.

Through training, prayer, worship, serving the community, and sharing the GOOD NEWS we grew in our own faith, our love for God, and love for one another. (2 Thessalonians 1:3)

Lives were impacted, hearts were softened, eyes were opened, eternities were changed… All for the glory of God. THAT is why we do this and what we have been CALLED to do. (1 Peter 2:9)

We are the hands and feet of Jesus. We share his name and story with others and invite them into a relationship with him because it’s just TOO GOOD not share.

Are you ready for the next Unashamed Weekend?

3 takeaways on helping others without hurting…

1. Check your motive.

We serve because we were created to serve by a God who loved and served us first.

Ask yourself, why are you serving others? Is your motive self-focused or others-focused?

2. Overwhelming opportunities.

We are surrounded by opportunities to serve others and meet people where they are at.

In the moment, we have 2 options:

1. Ignore it (1 John 3:16-3:18)
2. Engage it (Isaiah 58)

When we are given an opportunity to share the gospel, we also have two options - ignore the opportunity or recognize it and engage with that person.

3. Build meaningful relationships.

God works in the context of community and context of relationships. Build those relationships and be ambassadors of Christ.
