Lesson Summary
The class opened with a heartfelt welcome and an introduction to the Sojourners ministry, a mission of the Churches of Christ that outfits volunteers to travel across the nation sharing the gospel. The teacher described the organization’s structure, its Texas headquarters at Camp B, and the various leadership roles, inviting listeners to consider serving as a Sojourner using the website sojourners.org. The focus then shifted to the spiritual need for courage in evangelism. Using Scripture such as the Great Commission (Matt 28:19‑20), the story of Ananias and Saul (Acts 9), David’s confrontation with Goliath (1 Sam 17), and the calming of the storm (Matt 8:26), the teacher emphasized that God does not promise a life of ease but grants a spirit of power, love, and sound mind (2 Tim 1:7). The parable of the talents (Matt 25) illustrated the responsibility to use the gifts God gave each believer. Practical challenges—finding study prospects, setting up studies, and answering tough questions—were discussed, concluding with an encouragement that God’s presence (Heb 13:5) empowers believers to boldly proclaim Christ wherever they wander.
