“What should I do when people aren’t interested in hearing about Jesus?”

Verses to memorize:

My job was to plant the seed in your hearts, and Apollos watered it, but it was God, not me, who made it grow. (1 Corinthians 3:6)

When they heard Paul speaks of the resurrection of a person who had been dead, some laughed, but some others said, “We want to hear more about this later.” That ended Paul’s discussion with them, but some joined him and became believers. (Acts 17:32-34).

You must give them my messages whether they listen or not. (Ezekiel 2:7)

…sometimes our role will simply be to plant a seed. Your job isn’t to make people believe- only the Holy Spirit can soften and prepare people’s hearts. Continue to live out what you believe and begin by building initial relationships with those who need to hear about Jesus. Trust God to prepare them and to provide the opportunity to share his love.

This is what God has promised to each one of us…”if you give even a cup of cold water to one of the least of my followers, you will surely be rewarded”…Matthew 10:42.
