 Jesus asserted that he came to provide justice for sin, liberate mankind from a unconscionable condition, and give mankind an opportunity to become sons of God. He also stated that his disciples would have authority over all devils and powers of death. He went on to state that when his disciples heard this word, they would believe it and submit to it- whereupon they would receive eternal life.

1. Open up your mouth

“Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture he preached Jesus to him.” (Acts 8:35)

  • Ask, “Where do you go to church?”
  • Paul opened his eyes and saw the idols then he opened his mouth!
  • Aquilla and Pricilla listened to Apollos and then they “taught him more perfectly the word
  • “The Lord’s bond-servant must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all, able to teach, patient when wronged.” (2 Tim. 2:24)
  • Bond-servant – that is you and me – every Christian is a bond-servant!

There are many ways in which Christians can do evangelism, but here are three common approaches:

    1. Personal evangelism: This involves one-on-one conversations with individuals about the gospel message. It could be with a friend, family member, coworker, or even a stranger. Personal evangelism involves building relationships, sharing one's own testimony, and explaining the message of salvation through Jesus Christ.

    2. Street evangelism: This involves going out into public places, such as parks, streets, or shopping areas, and sharing the gospel message with strangers. This could involve distributing tracts, engaging in conversations, or preaching through a loudspeaker.

    3. Mass media evangelism: This involves using various forms of media, such as radio, television, or the internet, to reach large audiences with the gospel message. This could include producing and broadcasting Christian programs, creating online content, or advertising events or resources for evangelism.

  • Evangelism – Young people who bring friends, friends from work, from liberal brethren.
  • Location, location, location!
  • Unlock purse strings to support evangelism.
  • Using different forms of media – radio, etc. (advertising)
  • Discipline towards those who walk disorderly – Negativism needs to cease!
  • Looking for curriculum that is more kid friendly.
  • Matthew 18:10-14 Qualifications For The Kingdom

2. Evangelism is necessary for our growth

4 I thank my God, making mention of you always in my prayers, 5 hearing of your love and faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints, 6 that the sharing of your faith may become effective by the acknowledgment of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus. Phil 1

Our Fire Can Light The World. Evangelize: True concern for the lost

Matthew 9:36-38

36 Seeing the people, He felt compassion for them, because they were distressed and dispirited like sheep without a shepherd. 37 Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. 38 Therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest.”

Evangelism is necessary for church growth for several reasons:

    1. Fulfilling the Great Commission: Jesus commanded his followers to go and make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19-20). Evangelism is the primary means by which the church can obey this command and reach people with the gospel message.

    2. Reaching the lost: The gospel message is the power of God for salvation (Romans 1:16), and there are many people who are lost and in need of salvation. Evangelism provides the opportunity for the church to share the good news of Jesus Christ with those who do not yet know him.

    3. Multiplying disciples: When people respond to the gospel message and become followers of Jesus, they become part of the church and can be trained and equipped to become disciple-makers themselves. This multiplication of disciples is essential for the growth and health of the church.

    4. Encouraging believers: Evangelism can also be a source of encouragement and growth for existing believers. When they see people responding to the gospel message and joining the church, it can deepen their own faith and commitment to the mission of the church.
