The title listed in this blog is our theme for our Bible study for the next six weeks for our women's class at First Baptist Church, Paducah, Kentucky. These lessons are listed in your resource book:
A Handbook for Christian Maturity by Dr. Bill Bright. The following titles are the lesson themes:
July 27: Why We Witness
 |
| Waterfall at Lake Forest Subdivision |
August 3: Jesus Shows How to Witness
August 10: Qualifications for Witness
August 17: Witnessing and the Word of God
August 24: Witnessing and Prayer
August 31: Witnessing and the Holy Spirit
As I drive through my subdivision at Lake Forest, I see this beautiful waterfall each day. During these hot summer days, it is so refreshing to see and hear the sound of cool water as it spills down the waterfall into the pond below. It is a reminder to me that I have living water given to me by Jesus the Son of God. He commands me as a follower of His to share His living water with thirsty people in this world that I come in contact each day. In John 4:13 - 14, Jesus answers the woman of Samaria, "Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."
In the next six weeks, we will examine our testimony and sharpen our skills in sharing what Jesus has done for us with those all around us. I invite you to come and join us in this study.
Dr. Bill Bright list the following reasons why this is a very important study for followers of Jesus and why we should verbally witness:
1. People are lost without Christ and hungry for God
2. Jesus Christ is the only Savior
3. We have a commission and responsibility
4. Those who spread the gospel are blessed
5. The early church was active in witnessing
6. The Lord added new believers to the church
Our memory verses for Sunday are: II Corinthians 5:14-15
"For the love of Christ controls us, since we have concluded this, that Christ died for all; therefore all have died. And He died for all so that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for Him who died for them and was raised." NET
