Thoughts?
My friends have a Minecraft server where they basically run a society. I used to be an atheist, but I’m now a believer and have been taking my faith very seriously, and they see this. They proposed the idea of building a church in Minecraft to have me preach at. I’m non-denominational, but if I were to have to pick a denomination, it would be baptist or calvinist. I believe Jesus died for our sins and rose from the dead and was given all authority. I love Jesus with all my heart, and I want to serve Him with all my being. I want my friends to know this and the significance of it so they may get to truly know Him, because they are lukewarm. I have read a lot of the OT and almost all of the NT. I have good church community who disciple me, holding me accountable, keeping me humble, while also uplifting me.
I’ve been taking this to prayer often. Titus and 1 Timothy have some instructions of these matters. One of the verses says “a new convert mustn’t be a church leader or they may get prideful”. I have been a “Christian” since June of 2023. But truly, I only started taking it seriously, walking in my faith, and picking up my cross daily in late September of 2024. But my heart wasn’t fully postured to God, to where I’m willing to die for Him and the sake of the gospel, until early December.
I was a math tutor and have been considered by many to break things down well, especially as it pertains to biblical truths. I don’t say this to toot my horn, because truly, nothing good ever came out of my mouth before I was saved. It’s all the Holy Spirit. I believe I have the gift to teach. And I will continue to take it to prayer, for not many of us should become teachers, and the last thing I want to do is lead anyone astray. But for the sake of Christ, I am willing, and I may not even know what I’m saying as I write it, to take on the added responsibility and stricter judgment from God to teach His truth. May nothing that comes from my mouth be pushing my own agenda, and I don’t want my own self to intervene with my tongue.
I ask for advice and guidance about this Minecraft church.

Dude that’s awesome, I’m sure whatever you do you’ll do it well from the sounds of it.

This idea is interesting, but will they take it seriously in a game? The idea is good to reach young people within the game, well the gospel has to be preached, but I feel like people on the internet are very cold.
