Actions Speak Louder than Words!

First, thanks to the good people of Casanova's Coffee & Fudge. A veritable Mecca for Caffeine and Sweet-tooth junkies! If you are ever in that area of our District check them out! Your groups can even reserve the whole place any Friday between May 5 and August 18. Visit them at www.casanovascoffees.com or, better yet, stop by!

Much respect and thanks to the good folks at Lewisville UMC for organizing our chance to have a further conversation about how our actions speak far louder than our words do when it comes to sharing our faith with others. Awesome furthering of our conversation from February. Actually, it picks up where we left our conversation last month. We spoke of how we know God and then began the discussion of how we can share that knowledge with others.

So, to offer a further conversation here are some of the questions that were posed last night. Join in the conversation, post to any of the parts of the blog...post thoughts on this month's meeting... Again, this is a place for you!

• Who are the five most influential people in your life and why are they influential?
• What fears do people have when it comes to telling others about Jesus Christ?
• How do you think the disciples felt after hearing Jesus' promise in Matthew 28: 20 (his last words before he went back to heaven... "I will be with you even until the ends of the age.")? How do you feel as a disciple now hearing his words?
• What makes the Great Commission (make disciples of everyone) such an important task?
• What challenges does this commission give us a Christians?
• Challenge Steps: Who in your life right now needs your love, care, and witness of Jesus Christ? List three people. Can you begin to fulfill the Great Commission during this week? What can your youth group do as...well...a group? (Notice that we started by asking who has influenced you and end by challenging ourselves to influence someone else!)
