Subject: Christ’s Commands in Action

Dear Families,

Do you enjoy the stories of men and women in history whom God used in a mighty way? We invite you to tune in to the second series of the Commands of Christ podcast, “Christ’s Commands in Action”! For the Message of the Month, we are featuring the introduction episode to this new series.

Christ’s Commands in Action invites us into the stories of ordinary individuals throughout church history who, by God’s grace, lived extraordinary lives marked by their obedience to the Word of Christ. Each biographical sketch highlights a specific command of Jesus, showing what it looks like to put His Word into action.

More than historical recollection, this season is a call to follow Christ as others have before us—not by exalting people, but by glorifying God’s working through imperfect, but faithful vessels. These testimonies build our faith, exalt the risen Christ, and offer practical encouragement for how we too can walk as His disciples today.

Listen to the recent podcast episodes and be inspired by the testimony of a worn-out missionary who found abiding in Christ to be the secret to living the Christian life and thereby reached thousands for Christ on the foreign field. Be challenged by the story of a vile, immoral slave trader who was saved by Christ, relied on His empowerment to repent from his old ways, and wrote one of the most well-known hymns of all time. Be encouraged by the account of a sickly, frail young man who wholeheartedly followed Christ, preached the Gospel to the American Indians, and whose life and testimony have touched countless lives.

Listen to the Podcast

As we explore a different person each week, we’ll be reminded that the same Christ Who empowered them is alive in us—and that His commands are not just to be studied, but lived.

We hope this series will be an encouraging tool in your life as you continue to grow in your relationship with Christ!

Blessings in Christ,

The Family Conferences Team
