This Sunday, "One" Series Begins

What is “One Life”? One life flows from the Biblical truth that each person matters to God. Our hope is that each member of New Life would have one person they are praying for and reaching out to with the love of Christ. Join us this Sunday as we begin this series.

Whose Your One? Who could that person be for you? A friend? A family member? Someone you work with? That’s what one life is all about, finding that one person to share God’s love with.

Getting Started: Sharing God’s love can never be reduced to a step by step formula. But there are some helpful concepts. To provide a framework we’ve chosen three “I” words, Identify, Invite and Invest.

Identify: Ask God to show you one person you can share His love with.

The starting point is prayer. “God, who have you put in my life that you want me to reach out to?” Look around at people you know, or people you might be passing by everyday. Determine at least one person you can share God’s love with.

Invest: Take time to share God’s love in real life ways that let your light shine.

Pray for the person, hang out together. Take time to be a friend. Let God’s love shine through you. Take opportunities to let Christ come through in your conversations.

Invite: Help that person take the next step toward Christ.

It might be a big step or small step, it might even be the first step. It might be as simple as inviting them to listen to a book or CD, it could be inviting them to church, or a Christian concert. It could be inviting them to surrender their life to Jesus. The key is that you’re helping them take the next step toward a real relationship with Christ.
