12 Week 1: The Single Greatest Gift slide 2 The single greatest gift Christ-followers can give to the people around them is an introduction to the God who created them, who loves them, and who has a purpose for their life. THIS is what evangelism isconstantly watching for ways to give that gift to someone living far from God.

15 Matthew 22:39 Love your neighbor as yourself.
16 Redefining Neighbors But he, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, And who is my neighbor? Luke 10:29 What did the expert in the law really want? A Checklist.
17 Redefining Neighbors How did Jesus answer? Parable of the Good Samaritan. Jesus focused not on who they are... He focused on who WE ought to be.

22 Its Not About You!
23 Ultimate goal = Pointing people to God
24
25 You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt should lose its taste, how can it be made salty? Its no longer good for anything but to be thrown out and trampled on by men. Matthew 5:13
26 You are the light of the world. A city situated on a hill cannot be hidden. Matthew 5:14

31 Week 1: The Single Greatest Gift slide 6 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8, TNIV
32 Week 1: The Single Greatest Gift slide 7 Have the same attitude of mind Christ Jesus had: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a human being, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to deatheven death on a cross! Philippians 2:5b-8, TNIV
33 Week 1: The Single Greatest Gift slide 8 Ready to give the single greatest gift to someone today? 1. Be willing to enter the Zone of the Unknown 2. Listen for the Spirits promptings 3. Just walk!
34 Week 1: The Single Greatest Gift slide 9 Jesus said, Everyone who drinks this water will get thirsty again and again. Anyone who drinks the water I give will never thirstnot ever. The water I give will be an artesian spring within, gushing fountains of endless life. The woman said, Sir, give me this water so I wont ever get thirsty, wont ever have to come back to this well again! John 4:13-15, MSG Jésus et la femme samaritaine by Corinne Vonaesch, Switzerland

40 Week 1: The Single Greatest Gift
41 Real Life Adult Bible Fellowship (ABF) February 24, 2013 Just Walk Across The Room 1 Discussion Questions Romans 5:8 says that it was while we were still sinners that Christ saved us. Why is it significant that He walked across the cosmos while we were still in our sin? In John 8, when Christ encounters the woman who has been caught in adultery, He immediately reflects God s compassion, gentleness, and love. Does this picture mesh with who you know God to be? Why or why not? What evangelistic fads have you seen emerge throughout the course of your life? Did you participate in any of them? If so, what was your experience like? Galatians 5:25 says that since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. What would change about your perception of evangelism if your number one priority was to keep in step with the spirit rather than memorizing formulas or winning souls? Have you ever experienced what you would call Spiritdirected promptings? If so, describe a time when you knew God was asking you to do or say something. Did you obey the prompting? What was the experience like? Do you really believe that someday the seed you so will fall on the right soil and produce fruit? Why or why not? How would taking Christ at His word that you will produce fruit and encourage you to get engaged in the work of evangelism?
