For the last 8 or 9 weeks, we’ve been talking about the simplistic life of discipleship, and what that looks like. We’ve talked about important elements of the life of a disciple and we’ve practiced those important elements on a week by week basis. As our journey in looking at the life of discipleship comes to an end, we’re gearing up to Take It To the Streets.
This weekend, an annual Chattanooga highlight begins, best known as Riverbend Music Festival. Organizers expect anywhere between 50 to 60 THOUSAND people to attend from June 11 through the 19th. Now as you would expect there are all kinds of people at these events; people from all walks of life, and we’re heading out to meet them. We’re not taking tracts, or huge posters that say “Turn or Burn” we’re simply going to be present with different “evangelistic tools” One night we’re going to be equipped with trash bags, and we’re going to walk through collecting people’s trash. Why? Because its the right thing to do; serve. Another night we’re going to be armed with wet wipes, that we’ll give away to people while their eating some of the best BBQ in the area. Why? Again to serve.
More importantly because we believe this is exactly what Jesus would do. And that’s what the life of discipleship is all about doing what He would do.
So if you think about it, pray for us. If you’re close by why don’t you come join us as we take it to the streets.
