Motivation and the Great Commission
by Rex Yancey
I am preaching from a text that is well-worn but not out-worn. Although it was given over 2,000 years ago, it has not yet been exhausted in its content and applications. It is true that this sermon has been preached thousands of times. However, I cannot say what needs to be said without saying what has already been said. The purpose of this message is not to break new ground. The purpose is to cultivate more intensively some old ground. I am not speaking of a new doctrine, but trying hard to whet your appetites on an old doctrine. The genius of the whole missionary enterprise is that God's Word must go out and that...
Election and Evangelism (3 of 20)
by Jerry Vines
In these five chapters of Thessalonians we have laid before us some of the basic doctrines of the Christian faith. I think we are aware of the fact that we are living in a time of religious confusion. Many Christians do not know what they believe. They do not know what the Scriptures teach in many areas. They do not know how to apply the truth of the Scripture to their daily life and behavior. First Thessalonians is written to a group of people who were new believers at this time. You will find that the Apostle Paul, inspired by the Holy Spirit, lays out before us some of these life changing doctrines of the Christian faith. That's...
Early Church Pattern for Evangelism
by Robert Walker
Now we are going to discover some principles in the early church pattern of evangelism. The church is growing at a fantastic rate in the matter of days and weeks it is in the thousands. And all of this because of fantastic vital type of evangelism. It was the church reaching the world and it wasn't easy being a Christian. It wasn't just jump on the band wagon type of thing either. The price was extremely high. And the demands were extreme. And dedication was essential on a total bases. But many people were counting the cost and believing and coming to the Lord Jesus Christ even at a high price. The Holy Spirit in the book of Acts never...
Evangelism: Reaching Others for Christ (3 of 5)
by David Cawston
This series is built on two most important scriptures of the Bible They are: The Great Commandment: Matt 22:37-39 37 '''Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' (NIV) The Great Commission Matt 28:19-20 19 ''go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.'' (NIV) There are 5 purposes defined for each of us in these...
Uncomfortable Evangelism on Facebook (8 of 8)
by Jeff Strite
A man named J. K. Johnston studied the Gospels and asked this question as he poured over Matthew, Mark, Luke and John: Where did Jesus meet people? According to his tabulations: - The Gospels recorded 132 contacts Jesus had with people - 6 were in the Temple. - 4 were in Synagogues. - 122 were with people in their daily walks of life. Johnston's point was this: Jesus thought outside the box. He thought outside the temple and the synagogue. Thus, if you and I are going to reach people for Jesus, we've got to do that too. We've got to think outside the church building. We've got to get outside of our "comfort...
Evangelism: Low Risk, High Grace (4 of 6)
by Rick White
Message Truth: Sometimes the easiest entrance point into another person’s life is a simple deed done in kindness. (See Matthew 15:32-38 NIV) EVANGELISM: 101 WHERE DO WE START? (See 2 Tim 4:5 NIV) 1. There are two groups of people who really hate evangelism; non-Christians and Christians. 2. Evangelism is an emotionally charged word. It often sends shivers of guilt running up and down our spines. 3. Everyone agrees that evangelism involves giving away the message of God’s love. 4. We mostly agree on the focus of our message, but we diverge greatly when it comes to how. Try this little...
Envision: The Great Commission (1 of 4)
by James Merritt
I am absolutely convinced after having lived a half century there is nothing more powerful than a vision. Every great institution, every great invention, every great innovation known to the human race has been the result of somebody’s vision. This past month we have asked you to envision a church filled with followers of Christ, who give everything they have and everything they are to doing three things 24/7: love God, serve others, share their story. It all begins with loving God. We have learned that is the great commandment. Everything we do ought to flow from a love for God. We believe if you love God you will serve others and...
A New Commitment to an Ancient Commission (9 of 13)
by Bailey Smith
Presidential Address Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma It has been said of the church, and most critically, I might add: Outwardly splendid as of old; inwardly sparkless, void and cold; her force and fire all spent and gone; like the dead moon, she still shines on. The church of the Lord Jesus Christ is not simply a reflection of greater days of dedication in the past. It is not a cut flower with a little bit of beauty for a moment, but soon to lose its fragrance because it has lost its power and dedication. I believe the greatest days of the church of the Lord Jesus Christ are ahead of us. However, that is only going to be true when we have...
Family Evangelism
by Miles Seaborn
A dynamic Christian home should be and do many things. 1) A worship center; 2) A learning center; 3) A hospitality center; 4) A health center; 5) A craft center; 6) It ought to be an evangelistic-witness- ing center. Timothy learned the gospel from his mother and grandmother. It led to faith in Christ. When the Philippian jailer heard the good news his whole family heard and was saved. When Cornelius wanted to learn about Jesus he invited in his neighbors and friends. Like everything else, God has a pattern and a plan for the family to reach out to those who are lost without Christ. I. THE DESIGN 1. A spiritual, physical womb...
Faith and Evangelism
by Bob Wickizer
The communications department for the Episcopal Diocese of Texas recently developed a series of television advertisements aimed not at churchgoing people but at those who have not attended church in years. One of the ads shows a driver pulled over at the side of the road, police car in the rear and a law enforcement officer approaching the closed window on the driver's side. The camera cuts to the face of the driver who has obviously just cried out in desperation while the narrator says, "Now that you have called on God, why don't you visit his house?" Long respected for fine liturgies and tradition...
Unassuming Evangelism
by Steve Jones
Two elderly women were driving down the street one day and they were driving in a very large car and they were kind of having trouble seeing over the dashboard. And the woman in the passenger seat could have sworn that they just went through a red light. And she thought "I must be losing it, I think we just went through a red light. Well, she didn't say anything and they went a little further and coming up to another red light and they went through another one and she said "I'm sure I'm losing it. I could have sworn that we just went through a red light. I'd better really pay attention. And they started driving further and they...
Who you are in Jesus (3 of 5)
by Duane Bemis
Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God. Now, you are a child of the King and we are learning to accept our adoption and how to walk as a prince or princess.Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God.

The Ministry of Personal Evangelism
by Rex Yancey
There were several methods of evangelism used in the life of the early church. The book of Acts contains about thirty five years of the history of the early church. There is preaching evangelism, teaching evangelism, house to house evangelism, literary evangelism and personal evangelism. We must never minimize the importance of one on one evangelism. Billy Graham preached to the largest gathering in Church history when he preached in Korea a number of years ago. Billy Graham has been greatly used of God in mass evangelism. However, the most effective evangelism is person to person. We all can't preach...
Evangelism is for Everyone (5 of 5)
by Frank Damazio
It's very easy to read the New Testament and be totally convinced that Christ came to save sinners, that Christ had great compassion for the lost, and that Christ paid the price for the lost to be saved. It is also very easy to become imbalanced as a church, doing everything to build up the church and neglect reaching the lost. We may comfort ourselves with the rationalization that we can't evangelize until we are ''mature enough'' or until we get our cell group in order or until we finish the extra classes or the kids sports program. Life is meant for living. The church is to be a great experience. Cells, classes, events are all good, but...
Love-charged Evangelism (6 of 8)
by Rick Ferguson
Introduction: I want to set the stage for today's message using a story out of the Old Testament. - The story is recorded in the Book of 2 Kings, chapters 6 and 7. - The event happens in Israel, in the city of Samaria. - Elisha is God's prophet in Israel and Jehoram is king. - The capital city of Samaria has come under attack from the Syrians. - The Syrian armies have surrounded the city and prevented anyone from entering or leaving. Their plan was to starve the people to death. - The plan is working. The people of Samaria are literally starving to death, so much so, that people were willing to pay a lifetime of earnings to buy a...
Uncover - Worship and Evangelism (3 of 6)
by Jerry Watts
Last week, we began with the very basics of ''Gentlemen, this is a football.'' As a former player I can offer that one of the most 'fun' things a defensive football player can do is to get the ball back from the opposing team without allowing them to score. A pass interception is exciting but for the player to cause and recover a fumble at a critical time can be electrifying. Every player knows that, when the ball is loose, it is 'anybody's ball' to even 'take away' under the pile. To come up out of that pile with the ball in your possession can change the course of a game. The fans are yelling, the players are slapping you on...
Jesus Fails Evangelism? (4 of 4)
by Scott Maze
We finish up a short summer series in Luke. Today we study one of the most famous conversations in history and certainly one of the more notable in Jesus' life - the famous story of the Rich Young Ruler. This is one of the few stories repeated in Matthew, Mark, and Luke. Today's Scripture Passage And a ruler asked him, ''Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?'' 19 And Jesus said to him, ''Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone. 20 You know the commandments: 'Do not commit adultery, Do not murder, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor your father and...
Engaged in His Mission (2 of 2)
by Michael White
We are in the middle off a short series called WE EXIST that's based on our mission statement which is in your bulletin. It's an exposition of our core values. We exist to glorify God through obedience to His Word, devotion to His body, and engagement in His mission. So we've talked about the necessity of Glorifying God. That's our ultimate purpose in everything we do. We talked about knowing and obeying the Scriptures- and recognizing that God's Word is the foundation for everything we do. Last week we talked about devoting ourselves to this local manifestation his body, the church. a Christian without church is like...
