You Are Blessed To Be A Blessing

3/1/2020

0 Comments

 
This message was served up by Howard Moore, a long time friend of Ness Baptist and one of our supported missionaries. His title and the main point of his message was that you have been blessed in order to be a blessing. He said that we are undoubtedly blessed, but with that blessing comes a responsibility to share it and not keep it to ourselves. 

So here are a few questions for you to discuss together on the topic of blessing.

  • Define blessing. Read over the passages Howard used and discern what it means to be blessed? Surely this is not only a material thing, so how do we understand this word? 
    • Psalm 67
    • Numbers 6:22-27
    • Genesis 12:1‭-‬3
  • How do I know if I am blessed? The passages Howard cited discuss blessing as a community thing, not just functioning on the individual level. How would we know if we are a blessed community? Blessing has something to do with receiving what is promised, an inheritance. What do these passages say about what we’ve received?
    • 1 John 1:1-5
    • Ephesians 1:1-14

So it is safe to say that Jesus is actually the blessing we’ve received! He is beyond material blessing (the presence or the absence of it), beyond emotional, physical, or any other type of blessing, because all those blessings are simply things which he uses to point our attention toward him.
What good news this is! Just one thing is left to figure out though….

  • How then do we bless others? Howard indicated that this is a priestly role. What does being a priest have to do with administering blessing?
    • 1 Peter 2:4‭-‬5

How can you be a blessing this week? How can we support those who have dedicated their lives to this work in other parts of the world? Pick one of the stories from Greater Europe Mission and spend some time praying for the work that Howard and GEM are engaged in.
