Pastor John's sermon this week was about the greatest gift we can give someone: sharing the Gospel. Unlike temporary gifts like a home or a car, the Gospel has eternal significance because it brings hope and life to someone who may not even realize they need a Savior. Reading from Romans 10, Pastor John explained how everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. He challenged us to think about who first told us about Jesus and encouraged us to be that person for someone else. Many people live in ignorance of their need for redemption, but through Jesus's sacrifice, we can all bridge that gap and have a relationship with God. As followers, we're all sent to share this good news, even though it can be scary due to fear of rejection or not knowing what to say. However, sharing God's love is the most important task we can focus on. For those wondering how to do this, Pastor John introduced a simple tool—a booklet—to help guide conversations about knowing God personally. At the core, it's about taking an interest in others and truly listening before sharing Christ's message of love and hope.
