The challenge is, to find someone who you don’t usually read the bible with and meet with them 6 times for ½ hour.

 

Is it a Gimmick?

YES! Of course it is. You don’t need to do Spring Challenge to be a Christian or part of the church?

 

But is it a Good Thing?

YES!

 

Why?

Because:

- It is God’s word

The best way we can care, encourage, help each other is through God’s word, for he is our ultimate help. It is only through him that we will find hope and courage that will help us through. We must use every opportunity we can to bring each other before his word.

 

- We are His church

We have a responsibility to each other, and not just the smaller group of people we normally mix with. This is an opportunity to go up to someone and ask if they would like to read the bible with you.

 

- It’s a good Habit

Over time we can fall out of good habits like reading the bible with each other. Having a set time (Gimmick) can be just the thing to help us back into good habits. It is good for us to learn how we can encourage each other in the word in the situation.

 

- It’s Easy

10-minute discussion on the bible passage is not meant to be too deep. But it is meant to be encouraging none the less. This isn’t about teaching each other, but encouraging each other through the word.

 

- There is a finish

There is always a fear to sometimes once you start something you will be trapped forever, or at least until Jesus comes back. This is meant to go for only 6 weeks. If you want to do it again because it was so good, you and the person you are with might choose different partners.

 

How?

If you are not sure how, contact the office and we’ll send you information to give you some clear ways forward.

 

Looking forward to our Challenge. I hope we take it up as a church and God uses this to deeply encourage us.
