Digging Depper - Lesson Six

Finding A Church

Now that you have a relationship with Jesus it is important to find a good Church home.

In looking for a good Church you want to find one that:

1. Believes and teaches the Bible.

2. Believes in the power of prayer.

3. Has a loving atmosphere.

4. Seeks to practice what they preach.

5. Is willing to help you grow in your relationship with Jesus.

No Church is perfect, but it is important to be around others who share a relationship with Jesus (read Hebrews 10:24-25).  God has also given you talents that He wants you to use for His glory. You have a role to play in His Church (1 Corinthians 12:12-27).

We invite you to consider making New Hope Assembly your home church.

Digging Deeper - Lesson Five

Your Friends & You?

The relationship you now have with Jesus is one He desires to have with everyone, including your friends. However, for this to take place you must be willing to tell others about Jesus.

Read Matthew 28:19

What does this passage tell you to do?

A “disciple” is a follower of someone. In your case, a follower of Jesus.

Where are we to do this?

Your world includes the people you come in contact with every day; your family, your friends, your co-workers, etc.

Jesus loved you so much He gave up His life for you. He asked you show this same type of love to your friends, your family, your co-workers, and those you come in contact with every day. Share Jesus with them.

Who is one person you could share   Jesus with this week?

On a separate piece of paper take some time and write down what Jesus means to you and what he has done in your life. This is what is called your personal testimony (your story).  It is this story, and the role Jesus plays in your story, that can be used to share with others.
