As followers of Jesus we're called to share our faith. But it can seem like a daunting or nerve-wrecking task. This week we lay the foundation for how we are to BLESS our neighbors, share our lives, and share the gospel. - - - 📖 ABOUT THE SERIES: This November we're kicking off a 3-week series called "5 Habits: Living Life on Mission". Through this series we're going to learn about some practical things we can do as followers of Jesus to engage our neighbors. - - - ✏️ MESSAGE NOTES: 1: WE’RE CALLED TO LOVE OUR NEIGHBORS Jesus answered, “The most important is…The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. 31 The second is, Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other command greater than these.” {Mark 12:29-31} B - BEGIN WITH PRAYER L - LISTEN E - EAT S - SERVE S - STORY 2: JESUS WAS A FRIEND OF SINNERS The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ {Matthew 11:19} “It is not those who are well who need a doctor, but those who are sick. I didn’t come to call the righteous, but sinners.” {Mark 2:17} 3: IT’S THE HOLY SPIRIT’S JOB TO CONVICT, COMMIT, AND CONQUER HEARTS 7 Nevertheless, I am telling you the truth. It is for your benefit that I go away, because if I don’t go away the Counselor will not come to you. If I go, I will send him to you. 8 When he comes, he will convict the world about sin, righteousness, and judgment: 9 About sin, because they do not believe in me; 10 about righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will no longer see me; 11 and about judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged. {John 16:7-11} - ✝️ ABOUT SWERVE: Swerve Church is a new church in the neighborhood of Bushwick in Brooklyn NYC.
