Living Our Faith Out Loud

“This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun! And all of this is a gift from God, who brought us back to himself through Christ. And God has given us this task of reconciling people to him. For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation.” - ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭5‬:‭17‬-‭19‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Thats huge , right?

Yes, is the answer to that rhetorical question. Being reconciled to Christ gives our ministry the power and authority to reconcile and lead the lost world to Christ. This means we are doing life out loud with the doctor the lawyer, the homeless, the drug addict, the prostitute the plumber, etc.

Then empty seats in churches will be filled because relationships are being built via the glorious news of the gospel. Ordinary people will begin doing extraordinary things because the church is busy being what God has called us to be. Disciples who are discipling disciple makers, who will multiply more disciple makers, this happens when we allow what we do vocationally to build a foundation to form relationships and friendships – when we live out our 24/7 ministry that God has called each of us too.

Tell your story, live life so large that people see the work of Christ in you.
