Practicing the Faith: A Voice to Speak the Good News

Day 1
Read 2 Timothy 1:1-7. What people helped you to come to faith in Jesus Christ? How did they speak the good news to you? Give thanks to God for their role in your life.

Day 2
Read John 4:5-29. What positive and negative associations do you have with the word "evangelism?" How do you think you came to have these thoughts? How does the Samaritan woman serve as an "evangelist" for her community?

Day 3
Read Matthew 28:16-20. Kelly Fryer asks us to reflect on these questions: What is "the point" of your congregation? Getting people in the doors? Or sending them out? How can you tell?

Day 4
Read Acts 17:16-34. How does Paul help the Athenians to see the presence of God among them? Who in your circle do you think needs to hear that God has and can make all things new? Pray that you may be available to God’s call to speak a word of hope.

Day 5
Read John 9:13-33. What would you tell someone about what you have seen and heard? How have the life, death, resurrection and teachings of Jesus changed your life?
