Evangelism – Preparation
If I am praying for the Lord to open up opportunities to share the Gospel and guide me to those He is drawing to Himself, I must be prepared. Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God? For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.Romans 2:23-24 Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name…
Foundation 10: Evangelism (Mark 5:15-20)
Evangelism should be natural Whenever anyone had an encounter with Jesus they instantly told everyone about it. Many times Jesus told them not to tell anyone, yet they told everyone anyway. Throughout the New Testament sharing what Jesus had done for you was a natural thing that virtually everyone did without prompting or command. Self-righteousness kills evangelism The reason we have such a hard time sharing the Gospel is that we have forgotten what we were when Christ found us.…
Evangelism – Where do we begin? (Part 3)
Where do we begin in sharing the Gospel? No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.John 6:44-45 God and God alone saves people. He is the One Who must draw them to Himself. If we…
Evangelism – Where do we begin? (Part 2)
After our family, who should we seek to share the Gospel with next? And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him. And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy. And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day? And they held their peace. And he took him, and…
Evangelism – Where do we begin? (Part 1)
If God has called us to seek out the lost, where do we begin? And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him. Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.Mark 5:18-19 Upon coming to faith in Christ, the man was told…
Evangelism – Seek Them Out
We looked last week at God’s love for sinners. It was this love for sinful man that moved God to action: He sent His Son to seek out and save that which was lost. There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.Romans 3:11 These people that God loves do not understand God, judgment, or salvation, and they will never seek God. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever…
Evangelism – God’s Love
If God the Father has chosen to save the elect and this salvation is only brought about through them believing in Jesus how did He go about bringing them to that faith? For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.John 3:16-17…
Evangelism – Introduction (Part 2)
In light of what we looked at last week concerning election and calling we must conclude that there are elect people in every group under the sun that will definitely respond to salvation because the Holy Spirit will draw them to salvation. And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. For John truly baptized with water; but…
Evangelism – Introduction (Part 1)
Everything we do stems from our deeply held beliefs. If we are going to be effective witnesses for the Lord we must closely examine what the Bible teaches about salvation and then allow these teachings to affect our evangelism. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be…
Only the Gospel (John 12:28-33)
After Jesus has asked God to glorify His name, God speaks audibly from heaven. What follows this miraculous incident is very instructive for us today. They are still blind Even though God spoke audibly from heaven, they still did not see the truth. Some even decided that God’s voice must have been thunder. Others decided that an angel was speaking to Jesus even though Jesus is clear that God was speaking to them. We so often place our hopes in…
Compassion for the Lost (1 Corinthians 6:9-11)
Hopefully you have experienced a measure of God’s grace and victory over sin as we have studied our indwelling sin and the grace of God that delivers us from that sin. How do we maintain this grace and grow in this grace? We must let past sins humble us We quickly forget that we were once hopelessly lost in sin. We forget what we were before Jesus delivered us by His grace. Because of this we can quickly lose compassion…
