What a difference this world would be if we lived our lives with the intent of replicating Christians. This is not to say that we try to make everyone to be an exact copy of who we are, but we live intentionally so that they might come to put their faith in Jesus and then we teach them to make other new disciples. Many Christians don't believe that they are capable of doing that, however, Pierce challenges us to be "strengthened by Grace" and realize that what makes us capable is the fact that we are God's children and our heavenly Father makes us capable.

God never sleeps. He always is awake and always cares for His children. We can trust Him with our lives.

We need to allow God to awaken our hearts to the greatness of God and the work He has done on our behalf. The gospel should compel us to share the love of God with others.

God does not intend for us to live the Christian life by ourselves. We need others in the church to Spur us on and keep us living faithfully for Christ.

Clift lays out the challenge for our church for 2020.

Our goal as believers should be to help others see Jesus clearly so that they might embrace Him as savior.
