Text: 1 Corinthians 9:16-23
Every follower Jesus has been called to share the Good News of the Gospel with others, but in doing so, it is important for us to remember that our witness isn’t simply about conveying the points of the Gospel or even relaying our personal story of how God saved us. It is vitally important that we take time to carefully consider the audience that we are sharing with, whether an individual or a crowd. If we aren’t mindful of our audience, our message is likely to fall on deaf ears. The Apostle Paul models for us the example of Christ and shows us how we should deliberately seek to understand our audience so that we might effectively share the truth of the Gospel with them. If we seek to know who they are, where they’re coming from, and what their perspective is, we can show genuine care and concern and find clear connecting points to the greatest news they can ever hear. We invite you to listen today to consider your next step in being a witness for Jesus.
