God's Plan for Connecting People to Jesus

1. It begins in            through faith in Christ

   For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-- not by works, so that no one can boast.
   Ephesians 2:8-9

   They asked each other, "Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?"
   Luke 24:32

   For we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard."
   Acts 4:20

2. Jesus calls us not only to                      to him, but to            for him

   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, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
   Matthew 28:19-20

3. Your mission makes a                                                    in someone's

   Philipians 3:20-21

4. God wants you to take your mission                                              

   We're Christ's representatives. God uses us to persuade men and women to drop their differences and enter into God's work of making things right between them. We're speaking for Christ himself now: Become friends with God.
   1 Corinthians 5:20 (The Message)

5. Your mission                                where you                     

   Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him (Jailer) and to all the others in his house. The jailer brought them into his house and set a meal before them; he was filled with joy because he had come to believe in God--he and his whole family.
   Acts 16:32, 34
