When you hear the word “evangelist,” you might cringe. But what if this is something that Jesus calls you to become? How can you do this in ways that others actually appreciate? Check out why honesty, urgency, and love are game-changers in how we share the gospel with others.
0:00 – INTRO
1:37 – EVANGELISTS tell others about the good news (gospel) of Jesus. (Some have gift of evangelism: Eph. 4:11. But all Christians are to share the gospel: Matt. 28:19-20.) THE GOSPEL: 1. SIN, 2. GOD, 3. JESUS’ DEATH, 4. JESUS’ RESURRECTION, 5. SALVATION, 6. FAITH
3:53 – LOVE (Matt. 22:37-39: the Greatest Commandment)
5:21 – HUMBLY (1 Pet. 3:15)
6:12 – RESPECTFUL
7:30 – URGENCY (2 Cor. 5:20). FEARLESSLY (Eph. 6:19-20)–pray for courage and for others.
9:22 – CLEARLY: define biblical terms,
10:15 – HONEST: in what the gospel is and about your own heart. Not the “prosperity gospel”: because becoming a Christian may make your life harder!
11:32 – COURTEOUSLY: ask permission
13:17 – FAITH IDENTITY
16:25 – LIFESTYLE EVANGELISM: OBEDIENCE (Jn. 14:15), SENSITIVITY TO THE HOLY SPIRIT (Acts 1:8), INTEGRITY (Matt. 5:16), COURAGEOUSLY (1 Cor. 11:23-29). Still have to verbally share the gospel.
19:05 – SO WHAT?
20:51 – WHAT’S YOUR NEXT STEP? PICK AN AREA TO EMPHASIZE (LOVE, HONESTY, URGENCY, etc.)
22:19 – THANK YOU & WRAP UP
