GBC Community Update: Seeking the fruit of His labor

Good morning! I hope you’re making this a great week.  The family picnic last night was GREAT!  Thanks to all of you who came out and made it a special evening and to Dan who did such an amazing job with the kid’s games. Praise God for opportunities like this to grow as a family.

Thought for the Day: What is the fruitful Christian life? The Fruit of His Labor
Before Jesus ascended to heaven, He gave this command to His disciples: “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you” and He promised, “I am always with you to the end of the age.”
We know this mandate was not only for the eleven disciples of Jesus but for every believer in Jesus. We are to GO. That means wherever God sends us and share our faith with others and the hope we have in God.  If they respond by accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior of their lives, they become our fruit but also in some ways our responsibility. For we are to MAKE DISCIPLES. That means we make sure they are connected to a good church (like GBC for instance!), they have and are reading the Bible, that they are praying and growing in God. No, it’s not our sole responsibility but we do have a part to play. When we do this we participate as part of the fruit of God’s labor. We also don’t do it alone since Jesus also promised he would be with us every step of the way. I hope that’s an encouragement to go out and bear fruit!
 
In His grip,
Pastor Chris
