He told him to good news, using relationships - to share their faith with the people of his surroun


Last time we talked about confrontational, intellectual style gospel through personal testimony. Today we will continue with the other three styles: gospel by building relationships through the gospel invitation and finally gospel through service. All this of course with the caveat that these are some of the most basic styles of gospel and that ones that a Christian could use different styles.
"The best defend the glory of the Lord speaking to him first unbelieving, byron soho instead of talking about him first of unbelievers people." byron soho Sinclair Ferguson. Let's not forget the role and place of prayer byron soho in our gospel.
David McGee says, "We should be more concerned about reaching byron soho the lost than bouncing rescued." We are a small church and our future existence depends on reaching new people. These empty chairs should be filled. The question is how to do this?
This is possible when each believer find their style of gospel and use it for growth in the Kingdom. One of the most important things in evangelism is to build targeted relationships. Today we'll byron soho talk first about the gospel through relationships.
In Mark 5 we read about a man tormented by unclean spirits. He lives at the cemetery and behave like a savage, constantly crying and cutting byron soho himself byron soho with stones. One day Jesus met him and expel evil spirits from him. The man was so happy that asked Jesus to allow him to accompany him in his lap.
He told him to good news, using relationships - to share their faith with the people of his surroundings. In other words, he said: "Do not go knocking on the doors of strangers. You have family and friends who need to know what I've done in your life. Go home and live a changed life in their presence. Pray tirelessly for them and expect God to open opportunities to tell your story. Be available when someone asks: "How can I have what you have?" byron soho
Some people swallow grammar when you need to show to strangers or casual acquaintances. On the other hand, if they do not see opportunities for evangelism that exist in the context of their relationship.
Others feel guilty because they can not go to Africa or India to "reach the lost." During this time God needs someone just like them a missionary right where they are.
Maybe one of you wants to become a missionary in a distant exotic country. Debbie wants to go to Africa. There is nothing worse, on the contrary. But if you're not successful missionary where you are placed, how it will be successful missionary in a foreign and unfamiliar culture?
A missionary in Africa was asked if likes what he does. "Whether I like my job? Not. My wife and I love to live in filth. byron soho We are people of refined taste. We do not like to insert in filthy huts crawling on goat dung ... But does not have to do anything for Christ, we do not like? Too bad for this guy. The question is not what you like and what not. We are commanded to "go" and we're going. Love compels us. "
Do you have friends and family members byron soho you who do not know the Lord? If so, start investing time, prayer and effort in this direction. Be available to God and He will use you in their lives.
Most of you have read the story of the Samaritan woman at the well (John 4). While viewing John's its paid special time in sermon. After a long conversation with Jesus, she was convinced that he was the Son of God. He was so excited by his discovery that he forgot the jars with water and ran to town. Rather than recount his conversation with him with her words, she insistently invite people to come to the well, and to listen to Jesus. They did and st. 39th understand that many of the Samaritans believed in Him.
Samaritan byron soho preached using invitation. She knew that it was not prepared to share the good news complete conviction. So invite your friends and acquaintances to come and listen to someone who can explain it more effectively.
Many people complain because they are not confrontational or intellectual. Do not have a dramatic testimony to share. Not very active in the creation of relationships. They think they will not become an evangelist. Maybe God wants them to do what they do and the Samaritan woman - invite people saying "come and see." byron soho
A few years ago I traveled by train to Sofia. In the cabin we were a student. Since the road was long, got into conversation with him. It turned out that as a child went to an evangelical church and attended Sunday school, but no longer go to church and forgot about faith in God. I invited him to church and youth, and he agreed. Usually when I invite people byron soho on the train they promise, but do not come. But what was my surprise when th
