Lawrence Kirby shared a message titled, "Sharing the Good News Through God's Presence" Mark 16:15 He [Jesus] said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation." Awkward moments sometimes lead to conversations and sometimes do not. We've all experienced awkward moments. What starts out as quite awkward can lead to something quite beautiful. Sometimes authenticity requires awkwardness. Jesus experienced plenty of awkward moments during his time on Earth! God is way, way bigger than our awkward moments. There is peace available to us in every situation! Authenticity is central to the Gospel of the Kingdom. Sometimes Good News is way beyond any words that someone can give you. We are called to all preach the Gospel to all creation. Sometimes that involves words, most of the time it doesn't because not all of creation speaks words. The Good News of Jesus has power for all of the created order. God is interested in the whole Universe. He is setting all things free from sin and death! There are times when Good News doesn't require words, it requires Presence. As followers of Jesus we get to carry the Presence of God into every awkward situation! Stop. Breathe. Receive. Holy Spirit is in your breath. Receive what He has for you in that moment [strategies, words, Presence]. You're a person who carries, love, hope, joy, peace! --- You can watch the full message below:
