Go and Tell🏃‍♂️🏃

Matthew 28:10 Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell My brethren to go to Galilee, and there they will see Me.

In this verse, Jesus is talking to the women who came to visit His tomb. They quickly found out. Jesus had risen!

Their fear and sadness became joy and awe when Jesus met them personally, comforted them, and gave them a mission: "Go and tell."

This simple command is the heartbeat of the Gospel. Jesus didn’t just rise for a few. He rose so that everyone might hear, believe, and live. The first witnesses of the resurrection were entrusted not only with the joy of seeing Jesus but also with the responsibility of sharing that joy with others.

Like those women, we are not called to keep our experience of Jesus private. He tells us, even today, "Do not be afraid. Go and tell."

We are messengers of life-changing news — that sin has been conquered, death has been defeated, and hope is alive through Jesus Christ.

Going and telling doesn't always mean preaching from a stage at church. Sometimes, it looks like sharing your testimony with a friend, loving your neighbor sacrificially, or speaking a kind word in a hurting world. But, it always means pointing others to Jesus.

We finished Pray and Go not that long ago, but sharing the Gospel isn’t a one month challenge. It’s a lifelong assignment from Jesus!

Who in your life needs to hear the good news today? Ask God for the courage and opportunity to “go and tell” someone about Jesus. You may be the messenger God uses to bring someone face-to-face with the Savior.

This Month's Featured Ministry Team

Each month this year, we are featuring a different ministry team. We are grateful for the way each team serves so faithfully to help us accomplish the ministry to which God has called us.

Discipleship

Jesus commanded us to make disciples of all nations. If you have trusted in Jesus, I want to encourage you to take the next step by joining our 14-week one-on-one discipleship course. It’s a great way to deepen your faith, ask questions, and build a lasting friendship with someone in our church family.


Our disciplers are a vital part of helping new believers feel at home and grow in their walk with the Lord.

Whether you’re ready to be discipled or you’ve completed Continue and are ready to disciple someone else, we’d love to hear from you.
