Today we start a new series called “following the Jesus method” we will be looking at over the next few weeks what is the Jesus method.
How are we doing in that space.
Today is a high day as we have completed the 1o days of prayer.
It has been a blessing and I know that many of you that came were blessed.
If you didn’t make it feel free to join us on Wednesday nights we will continue to meet in prayer on a weekly bases.
I want to share a story.
To get us
A deacon in a local church drove a van that took the youth to an old-age home to hold a worship service every month.
In the first week, while the youth were leading out, an old man in a wheelchair grabbed the deacon’s hand and held it during the service.
This happened month after month.

In the first week, while the youth were leading out, an old man in a wheelchair grabbed the deacon’s hand and held it during the service.
This happened month after month.
One time, when the youth group came, the man in the wheelchair was not there.
The staff said that he would not likely live through the night.
The deacon went to his room, and he was lying there, obviously unconscious.
Taking the old man’s hand, the deacon prayed that the Lord would grant him eternal life.
The seemingly unconscious man squeezed the deacon’s hand tightly, and the deacon knew that his prayer had been heard.
With tears in his eyes, he stumbled out of the room, bumping into a woman who said, “I’m his daughter.
He’s been waiting for you.
My father said, 'Once a month Jesus comes and holds my hand.
And I don’t want to die until I have a chance to hold the hand of Jesus one more time.’”

Christianity is about becoming “Jesus” for somebody.
“Christ’s method alone will give true success in reaching the people.
The Saviour mingled with men as one who desired their good.
He showed His sympathy for them, ministered to their needs, and won their confidence.
Then He bade them, 'Follow Me.’” - Ellen G. White, The Ministry of Healing, p. 143.
Let’s analyse this a bit.
Jesus mingled with people as One who desired their good.
(He opened networks.)
Jesus sympathised with people.
(He formed attachments.)

“Then He bade them, 'Follow Me’” (to become disciples).
What we see here is a wholistic model of the gospel.
This ministry method will guide us in proclaiming the gospel more fully.
Jesus did not separate the social aspects (numbers 1-4) from giving the invitation to follow Him (number 5), and so neither should we.
All of the steps working together will give “ true success.”
This lesson will focus on the first step of Jesus’ method.
Lessons 7-11 will focus on the others.

Who did Jesus mingle with?
Ok
Lets check this out.
When I was young, I was taught (or at least I understood) that if I was involved in sin, God would avoid me.
What do these verses suggest about that idea?
(God does not run away from sinners.)
For me these verse tell me that God is there for everyone.
No matter who we are or how bad a sinner we are.
This is something that we need to fully understand.
Lets have a look at another passage and yes we have all read this at sometime and probably many times but lets look at it differently.
luk 15
What does this teach about God's relationship to sinners? (He not only runs after them, He carries them home!)
I am going to read this passage to you again from the message.
In this story, who had the closer relationship with Jesus, the saved sheep or the lost sheep?
(Jesus spent more time finding the lost sheep.
It was the focus of His attention.
The goal, however, was to make the lost sheep like one of the righteous sheep.)
