How you can help others grow in the faith

September 12, 2012

When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.”           

John 21:15

Try this: close your eyes and think about the best teacher you ever had—the one that made the greatest impact on you. It doesn’t matter what subject it was, and it can even be a Sunday School or Bible study teacher. Just think of one teacher that’s really affected you at some point in your life.

Now if you were called upon to stand up in front of a crowd and tell them all the things that person taught you, you’d have a hard time because you probably don’t remember a whole lot. So what made this person a good teacher? It was how much he or she encouraged you, inspired you, spoke to your needs, and helped you in life.

People often tell me, “Pastor, I can’t disciple others in the faith because I don’t have the gift of teaching.” But let me tell you, good teaching is just a small part of how you can impact others’ lives. What’s most important is how you encourage them, inspire them, and help them.

Don’t fall into the trap of believing you can’t lead others. If the Spirit of God is in you, He can show God’s love through you and encourage others in the faith. The pressure is off, and you can confidently disciple others and help them grow in Jesus Christ!

FEED GOD’S SHEEP BY HELPING OTHERS GROW IN THEIR FAITH THROUGH ENCOURAGING AND INSPIRING THEM TO GROW IN JESUS CHRIST!

Get the best from 2012 to be your best in 2013


Dear Friend,

While many pastors shy away from addressing controversial issues, I sincerely believe you need to hear straight, “bulls-eye” biblical teaching on many of today’s hot topics. Not only to grow in your faith as a believer, but to give winsome, compassionate answers to the hard questions our culture is asking.

That’s why I want to send you a special new resource today – my CD series called The Best of 2012.

This series contains 10 of my most popular and compelling messages from 2012, and it’s a resource that’s sure to help you in 2013 because it includes messages such as, “Are All Religions the Same?”, “Lessons on Leadership,” and “What Is a Christian?”

The Best of 2012 is my gift to thank you for your donation to help PowerPoint continue to proclaim God’s Word and truth ’til the whole world hears. So please request your copy when you give today.

Thank you!
