These Church Discipleship Letters are intended to assist Pastors and Churches in the important task of helping new believers grow in Christ!
Written by a Pastor with over 35 years of ministry experience, they will be a great addition to your follow up efforts to reach your community for Christ!
In a world of mixed-up priorities, it is so essential to make frequent “trips” to the Word of God so that we can once again be reminded of the vital importance of allowing God first place in our lives.
When we study Matthew Chapter 6, we see that the Lord talked about material needs which they had then, and we have now. Needs for things such as food and clothing. Of course, there are other needs, such as shelter and love, and more, yet the principle of Matthew 6 shows that God is a providing God.
God still saves! This is the most important fact we can share with a lost and dying world around us. I wanted to take this opportunity to encourage you to continue to share the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in spite of the pressure to be “politically correct”.
I am writing to follow up with you after our counseling session this past week.
While I am delighted that you have chosen to begin the process of healing and restoration in your life, I want to be sure to remind you that it is a step by step process and will require effort on your part on a daily basis.
I write briefly to let you know that we are praying for you here at First Christian Church, and believe that God will be your source of strength and hope in this difficult chapter of your life.
I want to assure you that God considers your life of great value, and while the world around you may not see you that way, it is important to believe what God says. The Word of God does not change “according to our circumstances”, but brings great meaning and purpose to these times.
I wanted to be sure to take this opportunity to send you this letter of congratulations upon your Confirmation.
This is a great milestone and achievement in your life at this point, and I know that you will experience many more moments of celebration such as this.
There is a great scripture in the Bible in 1 Timothy 4:12 (NIV) 12 Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.
