Tell Others

We are called to tell the Coastside (and beyond) about the love of God. This is an important responsibility of every Christ follower and God has placed you in your neighborhood, with your friends, and in your family to do just that. No one else is able to witness to the grace of Jesus like you. We want to grow in our awareness of others and how to best share the message of salvation with those whom Jesus (and we) loves.

I’m Walking: I know the gospel. I’ve heard that the gospel needs to be shared.

 

Pray for your friends and neighbors, especially that they will hear the message of Jesus this Easter.

Prepare yourself by spending some time with God. Here are a couple of short quiet time reading plans to get you started.
