God has called us to engage with our culture, reach the lost, participate in missions, and extend grace to others as we live out our faith. That is precisely what our Gospel Meeting, with Matt Cook, is intended to do.
To prepare your heart consider verses like Colossians 4:5-6, which urge us to be wise in our conduct towards outsiders, making the best use of the time, and speaking with grace. Or 1 Corinthians 9:22-23, where Paul explains that he becomes all things to all people so that by all means, he might save some.
During the meeting, we should take advantage of the opportunity to build relationships with others by engaging in conversation before and after the event. We should be culturally aware and open-minded as we seek to understand different perspectives and backgrounds. We should actively participate in the meeting by listening attentively, taking notes, and engaging in discussion.
Most importantly, we should use the meeting as an opportunity to share the gospel with those who need to hear it. By intentionally inviting friends and family who do not yet know Jesus, we can play a crucial role in introducing them to the good news of salvation. Let’s commit to sharing the gospel in a compelling and respectful way, and trust that God will use our efforts to draw others closer to Him.
