WALT WHITMAN
DAREST thou now, O Soul,
Walk out with me toward the Unknown Region,
Where neither ground is for the feet, nor any path to follow?
No map, there, nor guide,
Nor voice sounding, nor touch of human hand,
Nor face with blooming flesh, nor lips, nor eyes, are in that land.
I know it not, O Soul;
Nor dost thou—all is a blank before us;
All waits, undreamed of, in that region—that inaccessible land.
MINISTRY DEVELOPMENT
Act your way to success…don’t wait.
Interact with others…tap expertise.
Create your own manual for the ministry as if you were handing it off to others
MINISTRY DEVELOPMENT
Consult with others, but don’t copy others
Remember that a ministry is not a business
Think ridiculously!
MINISTRY DEVELOPMENT

THE GOSPEL MESSAGE
The Good News to Unbelievers Concerning Jesus Christ’s Sacrifice on Your Behalf
“What do you think about the Christ (the Messiah)?”
But God (the Father) demonstrates His own (unconditional) love toward us (all mankind), in that while we were yet sinners (as unbelievers), (the Lord Jesus) Christ died for us.
“Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.”
For as in (union with) Adam all die (spiritually)…so also in (union with) Christ all will be made (spiritually) alive (born again).
For He Himself (the Lord Jesus Christ) is our peace, who made both groups (Jews and Gentiles) into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall…
For He (God the Father) rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son (the Lord Jesus Christ),//in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
The Lord is not slow about His promise (of a chance at salvation), as some count slowness (as some accuse), but (the Lord) is patient toward you (unbelievers), not wishing for any to perish (in the Lake of Fire) but for all to come to repentance (a change of mind about the Lord Jesus Christ).
(The Lord) Jesus Christ said, “I am the way (to salvation), (I am) the truth (through the Word of God) and (I am) the (eternal) life; no one comes to the Father, but through (believing in) Me.”
Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved, you and (everyone in) your household (who also believes).
“He (anyone) who believes in the Son (the Lord Jesus Christ) has eternal life...but he who does not obey (the command to believe in) the Son (the Lord Jesus Christ) will not see (eternal) life (in heaven) but the wrath of God (the Lake of Fire) abides on him.”
And I give eternal life to them (believers in Christ), and they (believers) shall never perish; and no one shall snatch them (believers) out of My hand.
But if (1) it (salvation) is by grace (and it is), it is no longer on the basis of works, otherwise grace (a free gift) is no longer grace (a free gift).
And he (the repentant thief) was saying, “Jesus, remember me when You come in Your kingdom!”
And He (the Lord Jesus Christ) said to him (the repentant thief), “Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise.”
CLOSING SONG
Whosoever
For I am confident of this very thing, that He (God the Father) who began a (divine) good work in (the creation of) you will (keep on) perfect(ing) it until the day of Christ Jesus.
Do not fret because of evildoers, Be not envious toward wrongdoers.//For they will wither quickly like the grass And fade like the green herb
And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard (garrison) your hearts and your minds (for those of you) in (union with) Christ Jesus.
CLOSING PRAYER
Let us pray…
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for listening!
