Day 1
Faith Fact:
I will tell others about Jesus.
Faith Verse:
"Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit."
Matthew 28:19
Question of the day:
What should I say when I tell others about Jesus?
Read:
Psalm 71:14-17; 1 Corinthians 2:1
Do you know what the word cattywampus means? How about the word bumfuzzle? These are long, interesting words that you might not know or use unless you grew up hearing or studying them. Words like this aren’t typically a part of our everyday conversations, and you don’t really need to use them to have a meaningful conversation.Do you ever wonder what words you should use to tell people about Jesus? Maybe you are searching for some big, long, important words before you speak. Sometimes we feel like we can’t tell others about Jesus because we don’t know the right words to use. We may feel like we’re not smart enough or we don’t know all there is to know about God. Somehow this keeps us from telling others about who He is.
Here’s the good news, though: We don’t have to be skilled with words or know everything there is to know about God. We simply need to be willing to allow God to use us and speak through us to share about Jesus and what He’s done in our life. Psalm 71:15 says, “All day long I will proclaim your saving power, though I am not skilled with words.” The Bible is telling us that we can still talk about God’s power even if we’re not good with words! When we are willing to share Jesus’ story in everyday conversations, God will use us to draw people to Him. And they may want to have a relationship with God because of what we’ve told them.
Talk about it:
Pray about it:
God, I praise You for who You are and for all the things You’ve done. Help me to always be willing to share with those around me what You have done for me. Amen.
I will tell others about Jesus.

Have you ever missed a birthday party because the person forgot to invite you? If you had known about it, you would have made sure you were there! That’s because birthday parties are fun.
God has invited us to be part of His family—the best invitation we could ever receive! The invitation is for everyone, but some people don’t know about it yet. They could go their whole life missing His invitation, and that’s worse than missing any birthday party. That’s where we come in. Jesus told us in Matthew 28:19 to make disciples of all nations—and that means His invitation is for everyone! But how will they receive this invitation? That’s the question Romans 10:13–17 asks us: How do people receive God’s invitation to be part of His family? Because we invite them!
Think about it:
Someone invited you to be part of His family, too! In our Bible story, God used Paul to invite the people of Athens into God’s family. Some of them even accepted His invitation!God is looking for people who are willing to go and the share the good news of Jesus with people who don’t know and have never heard. There are many people in our life—family, neighbors, friends at school, people we see around town—who don’t know who Jesus is. When they hear about how good God is and what He has done in our life, they may want to know more and want to know the love of Jesus for themselves.

Question of the day:
What keeps you from telling others about Jesus?
Read:
Psalm 40:9-10
Fear can keep us from doing many things. Maybe being afraid of spiders can keep us from walking barefoot. Being afraid of meeting new people can keep us from making new friends at school. Being afraid of what other people may think can keep us from telling other people about Jesus. God knows that we have fear—and He is ready to help us. When we know Jesus, we have one of the greatest gifts that other people need to know about! We can’t allow fear to keep us from speaking about what God has done in our life. So, go on, be bold, and tell everyone around you about the good news of Jesus!

If you were trying to learn how to play a new sport, what would be the easier way to learn: have someone yell the rules at you or have someone show you how to play? Obviously, it would be the second option! The world is watching how we live if we claim to be a follower of Jesus. At times, they may ask us why we do things differently or why we believe in Jesus. It’s important for us share about Jesus in gentle and kind ways, being an example of Jesus’ love for them. As we make daily choices that follow Jesus and show His love by the way we treat others, they will be able to see Jesus in us.
God will use our life as a living example of Jesus’ love and others will want to know about the hope we have.
