What Exactly is a Successful VBS? Ingredient #5


Hello again folks! This is the fifth installment of a 10 part series on what makes a successful VBS. This weeks ingredient is Preaching/Teaching:

Here is what Jesus says about sharing the Gospel:

18 Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. 19 Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. 20 Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” – Matthew 28

15 And then he told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone. - Mark 16

These are a couple of my favorite verses. Our Lord Jesus has given us authority and a command to go forward and make disciples. Discipleship includes teaching the commands of Christ from the New Testament. It is awesome that Jesus is with us as we go about this in VBS or in our respected churches and lives! He said in Mark to preach the Good News to everyone! That means kids, teens and parents that show up at Community VBS!
