Homework for the Weekend
I’m Christian, and so every weekend I’d like to given anyone who is willing to take it a “homework” assignment. They’ll be Christian in nature, but you can use these as a starting point to reflect you own religious beliefs. Stop back every Friday for your homework!
This weekend’s homework: Bring a friend to church.
Bible verse: “Jesus came and told his disciples, ‘I have been given complete authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations,baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” - Matthew 28: 18-20
Devotional: Do you remember the first time you attended church? Many of us don’t–I was a child, so I personally don’t remember. The first memory I have of church is singing in Sunday School, and I was probably about 4 years old. Some people, however, are not so lucky. If you don’t belong to a church, it can be difficult to get involved with a church community. Everyone already knows everyone else, and it can be overwhelming to meet so many new people at once. There are people out there silently begging for a friend to invite them to church so that they can muster the courage to go.
Be that friend. Jesus teaches that we can spread the Good News of everlasting life by going out into the world and talking about His love. If you know someone right now who hasn’t had the opportunity to attend church and hear the Gospel, invite them this weekend. The worst they can say is no!
