This is Pastor Daniel Stevenson. I'm pastor of New Heights Fellowship Baptist Church and
director of the Southside Life Station. You're receiving this message because you opted in
to be encouraged.
The Lord took me back again this morning to Acts chapter 4 verses 1 and 2. There Peter
and John are witnessing about Jesus and it said, and as they were speaking to the people,
the priest and the captain of the temple guard and the Sadducees came upon them, being greatly
disturbed because they were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection
from the dead. There were people among them that didn't even believe in life after death
and they're not very happy about Peter and John talking about Jesus coming back to life.
They're not very happy about Peter and John talking about Jesus in general. And I realized
as I was reading this that during witnessing you're going to have to make yourself available
for people to come up to you. Some people who have questions or want to hear what you
have to say and others who may not like what you have to say. People may use the world's
system to try to get you to stop talking about what you know about Jesus or living according
to what you know about Jesus. It does happen, happens even today. And maybe when it happens,
instead of us being intimidated, we need to realize that it is confirmation that we are
living the way we are supposed to be living and speaking the way we're supposed to be
speaking. So speak up, live up for Jesus. Maybe you're one of those people who ask questions.
We're available to answer those questions the best we know how. But the bottom line
is you can turn your life over to Jesus today. You can say, okay, Lord, forgive me of my
sins and help me live for you for the rest of my life. And so doing God will make you
born again. And you'll be in that position where you will then need to talk about what
it is that God is doing in your life and live for him. Maybe you want to do that through
New Heights Fellowship Baptist Church of East Toledo or another local church near you. Please
get started. New Heights is having a Grand Prix. We're having a Pinewood Derby race on
March 11th in the afternoon. We need racers to come and make Pinewood Derby cars. And
we need fans for that day to come and cheer on the race. And we'll feed everyone a hot
lunch. You can RSVP at New HeightsFolishipChurch.org or ChurchToledo.com or in the Life for Toledo
app. Join us at the Grand Prix to opt out of receiving future messages from this group.
