Stretch Yourself

My wife Wendy and I attend a weekly Bible study with good friends. One weekend Wendy decided to host a party so that we could invite new people to join our study. We could have just continued week-after-week with the usual attendees, but she wasn�t content with that. Some people would rather just have their little group to themselves, but that certainly isn�t what Jesus modeled.

The Bible doesn�t tell us to be comfortable- the Bible commands us to reach our world. Jesus was known for hanging out with some interesting people. Among others, he spent time with prostitutes and tax collectors. Not exactly the �godly, church-going types.”
Jesus did this because he came to “seek and save the lost.” His daily interactions were living proof of His mission.

Let�s make reaching out to the lost our mission as well! The Bible says in Romans that the Good News is “the power of God for salvation.”

When you realize the power in the Good News, you�ll want to reach out to those you wouldn�t normally spend time with. Look for a way that you can expand your circle this week. You�ll never regret stepping out of your comfort zone for the cause of Christ
