Prayer Wall: Strengthening Our Community Through Faith 

 

Dear Church Family,

We're excited to introduce our new Prayer Wall initiative!

This powerful endeavor will help us support one another through the power of prayer.

 

How it works:

Each Sabbath, we'll add two new names to our Prayer Wall in the sanctuary.

Throughout the week, we invite you to lift up these individuals in prayer.

This simple act keeps us connected and reminds us of the importance of intercessory prayer 

This week, we're focusing our prayers on: 

Belinda Garcia 

Talia Brown

Let's come together in faith and show the incredible impact of a praying community!

Questions? Feel free to ask Sonia Angulo or Samuel Reid.

Sharing Jesus is Everything

 

 

 

Dear Church Family,

 

As you read this book, we pray it draws you closer to Jesus and opens up opportunities for you to share Him with others. If you're interested in sharing your testimony or would like a copy of this book, please send an email to  communications@jupitersdachurch.org

 

Christ's method is essential for true success in reaching people. He mingled with others genuinely, showing sympathy, addressing their needs, and earning their trust before inviting them to "Follow Me" (The Ministry of Healing, p. 143). By following His example, we can effectively share His love and message with those around us.


In chapter 11, we explore the vital role of the minister in nurturing existing church members rather than solely focusing on converting non-believers. The emphasis is on training church members to seek deeper spiritual experiences and actively work to reach others.

 

Personal efforts and public evangelism complement each other in the mission to lead people to Christ. While it is ultimately Jesus who transforms hearts and the Holy Spirit who inspires decisions, pastors serve as guides through preaching and personal engagement.

 

The chapter underscores that the gospel commission includes both the message and the methods to fulfill it. We are called to work alongside heavenly angels, who eagerly await our collaboration in sharing Jesus with the world. When we commit ourselves fully to Christ, we become instruments to communicate God’s love through His word.

 

In laboring where there are already some in the faith, the minister should at first seek not so much to convert unbelievers, as to train the church-members for acceptable co-operation. Let him labor for them individually, endeavoring to arouse them to seek for a deeper experience themselves, and to work for others (Gospel Workers, p. 196).

 

In what sense do personal efforts and public evangelism work together? The mission of Christians is to lead people to Christ. It is Jesus who will transform them, and it is the Holy Spirit who will inspire in them the all-important decision. But it is the role of the pastor, as an evangelist and an instrument in the hands of the Spirit, to guide these people toward making their decisions. This is accomplished by means of preaching.

 

In the matter of evangelism, nothing more needs to be invented. Jesus would have been unfair had He given us the gospel commission without also laying out the way to fulfill it.

 

We are to be laborers together with the heavenly angels in presenting Jesus to the world. With almost impatient eagerness the angels wait for our co-operation; for man must be the channel to communicate with man.

 

And when we give ourselves to Christ in wholehearted devotion, angels rejoice that they may speak through our voices to reveal God's love (The Desire of Ages, p. 297).

 

In Christ Alone,
Jupiter Seventh-day Adventist Church


 

Discipleship Training

 

Every Member involved in Discipleship & Evangelism,

There is no higher calling than to be a disciple of Jesus Christ. Nothing compares to knowing and following the Savior of the world.

To know Him is to love Him, and to follow Him is a wonderful adventure.

 

Christ's method alone will give true success in reaching the people. The Savior mingled with men as one who desired their good. He showed His sympathy for them, ministered to their needs, and won their confidence. Then He bade them, “Follow Me.” MH 143.3
