The world has seemingly come to a halt in response to COVID-19, the Coronavirus. Events canceled, travel bans placed, economic chaos as stocks plummet and businesses lose customers and traffic. Things seem pretty scary.

But what should the Christian's response be to all of this? How do we guard against fear and worry and love people through it all?

When we come to faith in Christ, He reconciles us to God. We know the joy of being a new creation reconciled to our holy creator. But then God does something awesomely outlandish. He entrusts to us the ministry of reconciliation and of telling others that they too can be reconciled to God through Christ!

So how do we join in on this ministry we've been given from the Lord in sharing the Gospel with others?

This is the last episode in this series of conversations about what we are called to be as the Church. We hope this has been helpful and encouraging to you!

Disciples of Jesus work for Jesus. What do we mean by this?

It means all of us have been gifted by the Holy Spirit to serve the body of Christ in love.

If we are in Christ, we have gifts from Christ to serve the body of Christ. For any of us to not use our gifts in love will mean the family will suffer. But what does it look like for us to use these gifts and serve others?

"Follow me and I will make you fishers of men."

Simple yet profound.

The life of a disciple is to follow. To go where Jesus is going. To do what Jesus is doing. To hurt over what Jesus is hurting over. To rejoice in what Jesus is rejoicing in.

We must learn to follow. And as we grow to know and love Jesus and follow Him in all things, He equips us to invite more to follow Him as well. He equips us to be a master fisherman for the Kingdom.
