The Day my life changed
Slide2My journey towards special needs and disability ministry
What God showed me about it
…
Slide3Jesus Heart
Mark 9:21 “Jesus asked the boys father, “how long has he been like
this?”
Luke 13:16 “then should not this woman a daughter of
abraham
, whom
satan
has bound for eighteen long years, be set free on the
sabbath
day from what bound her “
Slide4People brought people to Jesus
Matthew 15:30 “great crowds came to him bringing the lame, the blind, the crippled the mute and many others, and laid them at his feet and he healed them”
Slide5People with special needs and disabilities came to Jesus
Matthew 21:14 “the blind and the lame came to him at the temple and he healed them”
Slide6Jesus was intentional
John 5:1-3 “some time later
jesus
went up to
jerusalem
for one of the
jewish
festivals. Now there is in
jerusalem
near the sheep gate a pool which in
aramaic
is called
bethesda
and which is surrounded by five covered colonnades. Here a great number of disabled people used to lie the blind, the lame, the paralyzed”
Slide7Jesus ministry description
Matthew 11:2-4
When John, who was in prison, heard about the deeds of the Messiah, he sent his disciples
to
ask him, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?”
Slide8Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what you hear and see:
The
blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have
leprosy are
cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor.
Slide9Who
jesus
wants us to invite
Luke 14:12-14
“Then
Jesus said to his host, “When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers or sisters, your relatives, or your rich neighbors; if you do, they may invite you back and so you will be repaid.
Slide10But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind,
and
you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”
Slide11Some troubling questions
Do I have a heart like Jesus?
If my church is all about Jesus why aren’t people bringing people affected by special needs and disabilities to meet Jesus?
If my life is all about Jesus why aren’t people affected by special needs and disabilities coming to me?
Am I or my church intentional about seeking people out who are affected by special needs and disabilities?
Does our churches ministry report look anything like Jesus’?
Am I or my church inviting the type of people Jesus told me to invite?
