Why not you?
The 5 Verbs of Learning: Connect
Paul, Silas and Timothy,
To the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:
Grace and peace to you.
1 Thessalonians 1:1
Big breakthroughs happen when ”what is suddenly possible meets what is desperately needed”. Mobilization of workers is desperately needed and we have new abilities to connect to make this happen. Imagine if Jesus’ followers everywhere were released to use all their stored up knowledge and passion to be harvest workers!
I wonder if Paul, Silas and Timothy, when they were writing 1 Thessalonians, were intending to write a letter in the Bible? Perhaps they were simply doing whatever they could think of to help some new believers. They started writing down their advice and guidance because they were not physically present and used the technology at hand: paper and ink. Read today’s verse and put your name, and two friends’ names there. Do you believe you could have as vast an impact? (Not by adding to the Bible but by helping change someone’s life.)
God is not restricted today to do less. In fact the needs are greater and his promises are just as magnificent.
For Reflection:
- Which names did you put in the heading?
- What comes to mind as you imagine what God wants to do through you?
Make Life Count:
- Where do you want to see a big breakthrough? What are you going to do today to make that happen?
- What steps have you identified so far for Imagine and Connect? We want to encourage you make it practical and doable as progressive, small steps.
Thirsty for More?
- Invite a friend to connect with you as fellow learners of Jesus. Figure out together what you need to do together to live out this verse.
Believing for a big breakthrough….
