Social Media & Gospel Engagement

September 6, 2013 by Matt 3 Comments

Social Media & Gospel Engagement

At Crossings Community Church we recently walked through a series called Gospel Engagement . We took something that often feels very daunting and made it extremely simple and practical.  We were reminded that our lives are meant to ‘leak’ the realities of the gospel constantly.  The first step was that we challenged ourselves to make people aware that we love Jesus.

We often feel like our friends, coworkers, and neighbors know we are ‘Christians’ but we feel this way just because they see that we are good people.  There are a lot of good people who are not being transformed by the gospel of Jesus Christ.  So, we need to let the most important thing in our life (the gospel) lead out authentically in our every day lives.

If approached appropriately, social media should be a megaphone which pronounces the things we value and celebrate.

Gospel Transformation

Gospel Transformation

I actually enjoy exercise.  To many that makes me psychotic but there you have it…. please understand that just because I enjoy exercise and athletic activity does not mean I’m a skilled athlete.  On the contrary, I’ve always been the jack-of-all-trades and master-of-none sort of guy.  I can tell you that even though I really enjoy going for a run that I also need to know my goal.  If I’m going to go for 2 miles, 5 miles, or 10 miles that’s fine, but I’m not going to leave and run out into the wild blue yonder without a destination in mind.  I believe it is very important, no matter how much you love doing something, that you know to what end you are striving.

Church life isn’t any different… at Crossings Community we have people who really love spending time together.  From mommy playdates to guy’s gun-shooting outings through to our worship gatherings on Sunday – people really enjoy spending time together.  Yet there is a goal to everything we do through these great opportunities.  Our goal is gospel transformation.
