     Passage: 1 Timothy 4:1-5

         The number one reason a movie becomes a blockbuster is not star actors, big budgets, or pre-release advertising. Those may help get a good opening weekend, but they do not insure a movie’s success. The number one reason is word of mouth. People who first see the movie like it. They tell others about it. Those people go see it on the recommendation of that word and they like it. They then talk about the movie and that causes others to go see it.
        The early church was filled with people who had experienced the transforming power of Jesus. They didn’t go inside the four walls of a church building and keep their “religion” to themselves. They had a relationship with Christ that they wanted to share with anyone and everyone. They were excited about being part of God’s plan to minister to people and reach the world for Christ. Any church that wants to be faithful to God’s purposes and that wants to see God’s blessing must have a commitment to proclaim the gospel and share Jesus in every way they can.
