Consider your impact
The 5 Verbs of Learning: Reflect
For what is our hope, our joy, or the crown in which we will glory in the presence of our Lord Jesus when he comes? Is it not you?
1 Thessalonians 2:19
The incarnation step focuses on the power of one: we imagine what God’s unfolding kingdom could look like as we move toward incarnating the Gospel. The Invitation to follow Jesus highlights the potential of two or three as we connect with others to learn and serve together. The Involvement stage makes faith practical and highlights the cost of following Jesus as we take risks. Experiential learning leads us to reflect on God’s teaching in real life. Our changed story leads us to celebrate the prize of seeing more laborers mobilized into the harvest: the very thing we were asking for in the Luke 10:2 prayer. We receive a new story which release a sense of fulfilled purpose in the kingdom adventure. And as we continue to pray, we learn to help others become laborers who join us in God’s kingdom purposes.
For Reflection:
- Do you see your service to God as a prize?
- For whom?
Make Life Count:
- Following Paul’s example, ask God to enable you to invest in others like a crown. Who are these people?
- We would love it if you would share a reason for celebration with our prayer team. Start your sentence with ‘Please celebrate with me that….’
Thirsty for More?
- Read Revelation 7:9-11 and imagine people there who you know and love and who have received your witness. How does that make you feel?
Celebrating the prize…
