Are you restless? That’s how it begins for many believers, with a tremendous sense of restlessness. You become dissatisfied with your life; you are hungry for something more. So you ask yourself, “What am I doing with my life?” Is this all there is?
If you really want your life to count, if you really want a life that matters - Take people to heaven with you!
Those that don’t know Jesus are tragically headed toward a Christ-less eternity. Like a drowning person in an ocean tide, they need rescuing. A trained professional lifeguard would be the ideal solution, but what if the beach has no lifeguards? What happens then to the endangered swimmer? They are dependent upon someone, anyone there to be their rescuer. They need someone strategically placed where they are. And that’s you! You are His ambassador, His lifeguard! Start Rescuing Now! Make the greatest possible difference you can make with the rest of your life!
We are all positioned to introduce people to Jesus. But are we prepared? Questions about "how to" talk to people about life's most important relationship are everywhere. What people really need is the "want to"! Finally, a curriculum with both!
Ron puts aside Christian lingo and religious assumptions, and encourages and equips you to live as an ambassador for Christ. This practical, ground-breaking curriculum will ignite your church to change your community forever.
With stories, Scripture, and study questions after each chapter, "A Life That Matters" is ideal for small groups or personal devotions. You'll walk away ready to change your world.
A Life That Matters Small Group curriculum includes:
- 11 - A Life That Matters books
- 10 - A Life That Matters guidebooks
- 10 - Yours For Life tracts
- 10 - Yours For Life cards
- 1 - DVD Video Curriculum
