I’ve often wondered what it must have been like living in Israel during the times of Jesus. Would I have become a disciple? Would I have failed miserably? What does following Jesus as one of His disciples look like today?
In searching out answers to these questions, you are invited to join the Matthew Project where we, as a church community in the Scottish Borders, determine to intentionally follow Jesus together. The weaker leaning on the stronger, the uncertain walking behind the sure - each one of us unconditionally there for the other.
Here’s the challenge. Starting Monday February 6th, having picked up your Matthew Project Journal from Sunday church:
- read the scripture passage for the day, and out of that passage…
- record: anything God shows you about Himself, anything you see about the life of a disciple, and your own response in prayer!
Is that all? No! You’re not finished until
- you’ve shared, you’ve told, you’ve posted what God has shown you…on this blog (using the e-mail address)
- and reading what God has shown others, you’ve encouraged them with a comment
May Jesus the Shepherd of His sheep lead us in this potentially awesome adventure!
PS Feel free to send this link to family and friends, far and near. Anyone can comment on the site and it is open to all to take the Matthew Project Challenge. (Anyone not from SBC can post their journal entry as a comment on the first entry of the day.)
