The Gospel for all Nations
Episode description
Scripture to read:
Matthew 2:1-12
Songs suggested:
Joy to the World
O Come, All Ye Faithful
Go! Tell it on the Mountain
We Three Kings
Reflection:
Look up Psalms 86:9. What promise do you see in this verse? What reassurance does the story of the Magi give us about spreading the gospel? How should the story challenge us as those who are called to tell the Good News?
What common reasons do Christians give for not spreading the gospel to all nations? Are any of the reasons valid?
Look up Ephesians 2:11-17. In this passage, who are “those who were far off”? Are people in foreign countries farther off from the gospel than you were when you first heard it? Explain.
What is the primary means God uses to make disciples of all nations? How can you actively take the gospel to all nations in the upcoming year?
Think of someone you know who is actively involved in reaching the nations with the gospel. Take time this week to pray for them by name.
