MOTION: I'm New To ThisSample
Today we are going to talk about gifts. We all love gifts. We love birthday gifts, Christmas gifts, and we all love getting home, and our parents have a random surprise for us. We also love free food. Nothing in life is better than going out to eat with a group of friends, and one of your friends decides to buy your meal. That is a great gift!
God is a gift-giving God! We can ask for anything in life, and God has the resources and capability to give it to us. God also has gifts that He gives to every single Christian. The day you prayed and gave your life to Jesus, He instantly equipped your life with the gifts that the Bible calls the “Fruit of the Spirit.” You might not have even known till right now that God had given you a bunch of gifts, and it is really hard to use a gift that you did not know you had. The Fruit of the Spirit are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, and self-control. It can be hard to always walk in these gifts, but just talk to God about them. In the moments when you need some joy just tell God you need some help walking in the gift of joy that He has given you. Over time, these gifts can transform everything about your Christian walk, and help you stay away from the traps of this world.
About this Plan
Are you new to Christianity? Are you trying to figure this Jesus thing out? Do you need helping knowing what to do next? Everyone is new to following Jesus at some point, and everyone needs help getting closer to Jesus and growing into a lifelong follower of Jesus. I'm New to This was created by Highlands Students, the student ministry of Church of the Highlands to help students who are new to following Jesus.
