VIBE Recap

Last night we talked about being called.  Moses was called for a very specific purpose.  God called him to lead the Israelites out of Egypt.  But Moses didn't feel like he was good enough for the job God gave him.  Have you ever felt not good enough?  I often feel that I am not equipped to do the work God has called me to.  Yet God's promise to Moses, that He would go with him, remains true for us today.  In Matthew 28 Jesus gave us what is known as the "Great Commission":

¹⁸ Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. ¹⁹ Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, ²⁰ and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

 The call from Jesus is clear: make disciples and teach them to obey everything He commanded.  We may not feel like we even know where to start, but we aren't doing it alone.  Just as God promises Moses to go with him, Jesus promises His followers that He will always be with us, even when it doesn't seem like it.

Here are some steps to take this week:

Step 1 - Ask God what He is specifically calling you to.  Is it a friend who needs to hear about Jesus?  Is it sitting by someone who simply needs to feel noticed?  What is God calling you to right now? 

Step 2 - Start simple.  If you feel a friend needs to know about Jesus, but you don't know where to start, invite them to church with you.  That simple step could open up the door to another conversation.  You never know what God will do with the small/simple things that we do.  So listen to God, then go to work.  That's it!

Don't forget, we have no VIBE next week because of Labor Day.  So, if you invite a friend to VIBE, make sure you invite them to come on the 9th!  In the meantime...
