Week 5: Love by SHARING (Telling)

Jesus has given us new lives without fences, lives that are part of the new community He is creating. This life in this community, in His kingdom, is life as it was meant to be, giving us a new identity and a new set of values and ethics to live by. We concluded the first week that our reputation as people of this new community should be one of love. God wants all people to know this life of salvation, forgiveness, peace, healing, purpose, and hope.
Here’s the question we have to consider in our series: How do people come to this new life with God? How do people hear and discover, how do they experience the kingdom of God?

Those who have truly experienced Jesus will help others experience Jesus.
“A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.” (Matthew 5:14-16)
