Get Your Mind Right 3 of 4

Objective: With improvement in mind, we will use Acts 16 as a guide for discipleship development, to lose our restrictive view in favor of God’s unrestricted power for progress.

‌Stick To The Plan

Introduction: One of the most frustrating facets of life’s journey, is coming to grips with the reality of unexpected shifts, twists, and turns.

Evangelism is defined as the sharing of the gospel through preaching and/or personal witness.

Overwhelming Observations: Stick to the plan, because…

–No one is exempt: don’t overlook the marginalized

References… Romans 2:11, Luke 8:1-3, Mark 16:1, Mark 16:5-7, Mark 16:9-10.

–Someone is expecting: don’t overlook the value of moments

References… Hebrews 10:25, John 5:4.

–Everyone connected is exposed: don’t overlook the power of your influence

Reference… Barna Study: Around 82% of people would consider attending church if invited by a close friend, but only about 2% of Christians actively invite friends to church, meaning a significant gap exists between potential attendees and those who are actually invited.

Punchline: When the church sits down it opens the door for comfortable communication that changes lives.

Conclusion: Sticking to the plan requires us to get our minds right, because we get stuck where we were meant to start.
