1. We Focus on the Problem Instead of Our Part (vv. 6-8)

2. We Forget to Charge Up (v. 8)

3. We Would Rather Stare at Jesus (vv. 9-11)

4. We Don't Feel the Urgency (v. 11)

Jesus gave His followers one clear mission: to be His witnesses throughout the world, empowered by the Holy Spirit. Many Christians avoid this responsibility for several reasons: focusing on global problems rather than starting where they are, forgetting to rely on the Holy Spirit's power, treating Christianity as therapeutic rather than missional, and lacking urgency about Jesus' return. Effective witnessing involves sharing your personal testimony in three parts: life before Christ, how you met Christ, and how He transformed your life. The mission begins in our immediate circles—with family, neighbors, and coworkers—before expanding outward.
