Help

When we share the difference Jesus has made in our life with someone else, it’s like we are scattering seeds.  God wants us to share his love with as many people as we can.  The more seeds we scatter, the more hearts will hear it and turn to God.

 

One of the things that can keep us from sharing Jesus with our friends is fear.  We might be afraid of what someone else might think or say . Fear is like a weed.  If we don’t get rid of it, it just grows and grows.  In order to scatter the seeds we must learn to pull the weeds of fear.

God has given you friends who do not know Him.  Helping scatter seeds might mean inviting a friend to come to church with you so they can hear about how to have a relationship with Jesus.

Connecting Points
Take turns answering the following questions with your kids this week.  Create meaningful conversation.  Adjust as needed.  Use one or two of these to begin a conversation.  Look for teachable moments - at home, in the car, wherever.  Pray and ask God to provide you opportunities to have spiritual conversations with your kids.

1. Young or old, sometimes we have to ask for help.  Tell about a time where you couldn't do someone alone and had to ask for help to get it done.
2. What causes you to be afraid to ask for help?
3. How can you overcome fear and share Jesus with others?
