Be Intentional About Your Faith

At the core of our vision is the understanding that every believer has a role in the grand narrative of God’s purpose. “Our Father’s business” refers to the tasks Jesus entrusted to His followers—sharing the Gospel, making disciples, serving others, and bringing hope to the marginalized. This mission is not confined to specific locations or demographics; it is a universal call for believers to bring about change in the world through their actions and lifestyles.

Be Intentional About Your Faith means being actively engaged in the lives of others, recognizing the need for support and guidance in our communities. It involves taking steps to build relationships, understand local needs, and share the hope of Jesus Christ through tangible actions. Intentional faith cannot remain passive; it demands that we seek opportunities to serve and uplift those around us. In a world filled with distractions and challenges, we must remind ourselves that every interaction provides a unique opportunity to share the love and message of the Gospel.

At the core of our teaching is the belief that the best way to spread the Gospel is through our daily interactions. Whether at work, home, or in the community, each moment offers a chance to reflect Christ’s love and grace. He encourages us to be aware of the people around us and to look for ways to engage in meaningful conversations about faith.

Being intentional means that we approach every encounter with the mindset of sharing hope and positivity. This could be as simple as offering a kind word, listening to a friend in need, or sharing our personal testimony of how Jesus has transformed our lives. Each act of kindness becomes a building block for deeper discussions about faith.

To effectively share the Gospel, Pastor Tom stresses the importance of being prepared—backed by knowledge of the Scriptures and a life rooted in prayer. Knowing the Bible equips us with the truth we need to guide others towards Christ. It allows us to respond thoughtfully to questions and doubts, reinforcing our own faith as we articulate our beliefs.

Moreover, being “prayed up” means maintaining a vibrant relationship with God. Prayer not only strengthens our spirit but also empowers our efforts in sharing the Gospel. When we pray, we align our hearts with God’s purposes and invite Him into our interactions, trusting that He will guide our words and actions.

Pastor Tom’s teachings serve as a reminder that our faith is not meant to be a private affair; it’s a vibrant life meant to be shared. By being intentional in our faith and using every opportunity to showcase the love of Jesus, we can significantly impact those around us.

As we embrace this calling, let us remember the powerful truth that the Gospel is not just about conversion; it’s about transformation through discipleship. Together, let’s commit to being instruments of God’s grace, welcoming seekers, nurturing new believers, and proclaiming the hope found in Jesus Christ to all.

In doing so, we not only honor our faith but also fulfill the Great Commission, carrying forth the message of salvation to the ends of the earth. Let’s take this journey together, being intentional in our interactions and grounded in the Word, as we seek to draw others closer to Christ.
