Real Fear

(Season 63: Episode 02)

As we continue our series called “The Real Light,” let me ask you...what do you think a real fear of God is?

Well for many, I think it may be misunderstood as fearing a vengeful God who will punish them for any toe that they place out of line. But the Bible tells us something different. In fact, the book of Proverbs describes the fear of the Lord as “the beginning of knowledge.” Now, why would that be? Well, Scripture describes our amazing Heavenly Father as ever-present in times of trouble, patient so that all who would turn to Him in faith have a chance to do so, and a gentle, loving Shepherd who seeks after the lost. A fear of the Lord is a reverence for Who He is—our perfect, majestic, omnipotent God.

And in our reverence, we can celebrate knowing that He has made a way for us to have a relationship with Him through Jesus. Learn how to share the Gospel with others by visiting us at sharelifeafrica.org

Known by Love

(Season 63: Episode 01)

Here’s a question: what are you known for? Jesus says in John thirteen thirty five(13:35), "By this all people will know that you’re my disciples, if you have love for one another.” Over and over again, the Bible urges us to love one another.

After all, it is the Father's love that compelled Him to make a way for us to be with Him forever in Heaven! I know a guy named Vince who had a heart procedure. Now, can you believe that DURING the procedure he shared the Gospel with the doctors and nurses in the operating room? I mean, talk about a heart for Jesus! What do you think Vince is known for? Well, I'm sure everyone in that operating room can attest to the fact that Vince truly loves Jesus! What a testimony!

Now, I challenge you to look for opportunities where you can show your love for others by sharing your faith. Visit sharelifeafrica.org for tips and resources to help you share your faith.

Witness (Means of Growth)

There are five primary means of growth to help your spiritual walk; Bible - Prayer - Worship - Fellowship and finally, Witness.

I was recently in the same room with a brand-new grandmother. You’ll never guess what she wanted to talk about...along, of course, with copious pictures. I was recently in the same room with a sports fan and you’ll never guess what he wanted to talk about! My point is that we talk about the things which are important to us. So, you could conclude that some Christians don’t talk about Jesus because He’s not very important to them.

As you become more and more involved in the first four means of growth –Bible, Prayer, Worship and Fellowship –Jesus Christ will become more and more important in your life. You’ll naturally want to talk about Him. Witnessing is simply telling others about Jesus and why the Bible says Jesus needs to be important to them.

Fellowship (Means of Growth)

Did you realize there are five different means to help you grow spiritually?

I want to talk about fellowship today. How do you define it? Well, you know, I heard someone say, “two or more fellows in the same ship. ”You know, when I first heard it, I thought it a bit corny. But it does get to the heart of the matter of spiritual fellowship. Here, I think, is the main point. Through calm seas or crashing waves, these people are in the same ship together. They need each other...depend on each other...encourage each other ...challenge...support each other.

Christian fellowship is all of these plus praying for one another, caring for one another and developing friendships with one another. Perhaps this is behind the promise of the Gospel that where two or three believers are gathered together, Jesus is in their midst.

Worship (Means of Growth)

Worship -it is easier to describe than define.There are five means of growth that help us growth spiritually; Bible - Prayer - Worship - Fellowship - Witness.

Today, I want to talk about what it means to worship.To worship God is to honor, reverence and adore Him -giving Him the supreme place in our lives. Worship deepens our relationship with our Lord. Let me emphasize two important avenues of worship. Personal, private worship is a daily investment of time that pays an amazing dividend. With your Bible and your prayer list, this one-on-one encounter with Jesus is rich and rewarding. It’s the place where His grace and strength comes into our lives every day.

Corporate worship is a gathering together of God’s people at church to engage in prayer, music and teaching of God’s Word. Taken together, these two provide for a necessity of spiritual growth. To help you in your spiritual walk with the Lord, we have plenty of resources online at sharelifeafrica.org
