“And Jesus came and said to them, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” ~Matthew 27:18-20
Happy Monday Long Hollow Women!
We are less than 2 weeks away from Momentum! That leaves us at 12 precious days before our big event. How have you been doing inviting your friends? The Lord has been teaching me how vital it is to have perspective in the Christian life. Countless days have passed by that I’ve wasted worrying and living for my own selfish gain, not realizing that we have a very short time on earth to make a big impact for the Kingdom of God!
With that being said, here’s a few reminders He has told me:
- It’s ALL about Him. Not me. And in it being all about Him, life is abundant, beautiful and worth living!
- More specifically, there are 6.9 BILLION people in the world and 6 MILLION live in Tennessee. Even more specifically, there are over 50 THOUSAND residents of Hendersonville. That is mind-boggling to me!
Julie has given every woman in our ministry the challenge of inviting 5 friends to Momentum. 5 souls who need to know Jesus. 5 souls who need to be set free from faith-crumbling fears. 5 souls who need encouragement in the midst of a discouraging circumstance. Only 5. Just think- by asking one of your friends, family members, or the homeless woman you drive by every day on the street corner to come to Momentum, your life could be changed…and more importantly hers, too!
Jesus made things so simple for us, even though as women we tend to complicate it! In Matthew 27 He gave us 3 things:
- Go
- Make disciples of {all} nations
- Baptize them in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit
It’s simple as 1, 2, 3. The hard part is me, myself, and I. Jesus will always give us the power, words and strength.
Let’s step out and forget ourselves and place our eyes on Jesus! He is worth it all!
Your Sister in Christ,
Gretchen
