CENTRAL THEME: LOVE TELLS THE TRUTH
Romans 5:8 - But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Do we love those who do not know Christ enough to tell them about Jesus?!
WHAT WE MODEL THE NEXT GENERATION WILL FOLLOW!
If you had to identify one person in your life that had the greatest impact in helping you to become a disciple of Christ, who would it be?
2nd TIMOTHY 2:1-4
1 You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2 And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others.
3 Join with me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
4 No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in civilian affairs, but rather tries to please his commanding officer.
