Matthew 10:38-39 (NLT) If you refuse to take up your cross and follow me, you are not worthy of being mine. If you cling to your life, you will lose it; but if you give it up for me, you will find it

The Point: An active, intentional follower of Jesus Christ supports the testimony of the church

The testimony of the church What is the testimony of the church?

...God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life!

Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples John 13:35 (NLT)

The testimony of the church SUPPORTING THE TESTIMONY OF THE CHURCH...By attending faithfully And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage and warn each other, especially now that the day of his coming back again is drawing near Hebrews 10:25 (NLT)

The testimony of the church SUPPORTING THE TESTIMONY OF THE CHURCH...By attending faithfully...By striving to live a godly life

The testimony of the church SUPPORTING THE TESTIMONY OF THE CHURCH...By attending faithfully...By striving to live a godly life With the Lord’s authority let me say this: Live no longer as the ungodly do, for they are hopelessly confused. Their closed minds are full of darkness; they are far away from the life of God because they have shut their minds and hardened their hearts against him. They don’t care anymore about right and wrong, and they have given themselves over to immoral ways. Their lives are filled with all kinds of impurity and greed [ Eph 4:17-19 (NLT)]

The testimony of the church SUPPORTING THE TESTIMONY OF THE CHURCH...By attending faithfully...By striving to live a godly life Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them. And do not bring sorrow to God’s Holy Spirit by the way you live. Remember, he is the one who has identified you as his own, guaranteeing that you will be saved on the day of redemption. [Eph 4:29-30 (NLT)]

The testimony of the church SUPPORTING THE TESTIMONY OF THE CHURCH...By attending faithfully...By striving to live a godly life Live a life filled with love for others, following the example of Christ, who loved you and gave himself as a sacrifice to take away your sins. And God was pleased, because that sacrifice was like sweet perfume to him. [Eph 5:2 (NLT)]

The testimony of the church SUPPORTING THE TESTIMONY OF THE CHURCH...By attending faithfully...By striving to live a godly life So be careful how you live, not as fools but as those who are wise. 16 Make the most of every opportunity for doing good in these evil days. Don’t act thoughtlessly, but try to understand what the Lord wants you to do. Don’t be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, let the Holy Spirit fill and control you. Then you will sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, making music to the Lord in your hearts. And you will always give thanks for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ [Eph 5:15-20 (NLT)]

SUPPORTING THE TESTIMONY OF THE CHURCH...By attending faithfully...By striving to live a godly life...By sharing Christ with others And then [Jesus] told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone, everywhere.” [ Mark 16:15 (NLT)]

The testimony of the church God loves all people Jesus died for their sin He wants them to know

The Point: An active, intentional follower of Jesus Christ supports the testimony of the church

Matthew 28:18-20 (NLT) Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given complete authority in heaven and on earth. 19 Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.”
