Pastor's Encouragement

"Christmas On Gospel Mission"

By: Pastor Joel Wegner

Christian, are you on gospel mission this Christmas? We should be! Since Christ’s birth is the central meaning of Christmas, this is an incredible time to SPEAK of Him and SHINE Him!

​

Even on that very first Christmas, the whole reason why God sent Jesus to earth was for gospel mission. Luke 19-10 tells us…

​

“For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.” Luke‬ ‭19‬:‭10‬ ‭

And, the Great Commission aligns the church with Christ’s mission to go into all the world and preach the gospel (good news) to all (Mark 16:15).

​

So, what can we do? Well, here are 5 simple suggestions of how to use Christmas for gospel mission…

​

1.  Leave a gospel tract for those that serve you at stores and restaurants and look for an opportunity for a gospel conversation. 

​

2. Leave treat bags for your mail carrier, delivery men, and trash removal persons.

​

3. Take cookies or other Christmas treats to your neighbors, and put a gospel tract in it.

4. Give a special year-end gift for a gospel ministry.

​

5. Find ways to minister to others in a gospel-centered ministry like the Agape Center, LOVE LIFE, the Go Center, Christmas caroling, church Christmas outreaches, etc.

​

Whatever you do this Christmas, make sure you are led by the Holy Spirit, and live on gospel mission…all for the glory of God!

​

In Christ Alone,

Pastor Joel
