The Challenge for 12-4-22

"The Challenge” has become a common part of my sermons over the past couple of years.  “The Challenge” is intended to help us think about the message of the week and then deciding to act.  Connecting “The Challenge” with journaling has become my attempt at fostering this internal dialogue (hearing then thinking then deciding then acting).  The purpose of “The Challenge” is that we all might act upon what we have heard by the leading of the Holy Spirit.

Our challenges will fall heavily into the category of journaling.  When we write, we have to think then formulate words, then put it to paper.  This process helps us integrate our whole self.  We will also focus upon action.

Here is The Challenge for 12-4-22.

               1.  How can you shine the light of Jesus this Christmas?

               2.  What darkness in your world needs the light of Jesus?

               3.  Who do you know that needs the light this Christmas?

               4.  How will you show them the light of the world?

               5.  Pray for your opportunity to shine the light.

               6.  Shine!
