3 Share Your Faith What is Evangelism?

4 T

5 To Evangelize Announce or proclaim Good News! Gospel = Good News

6 (a) It is the Gospel of the Kingdom

7 Matthew 4:23a Jesus traveled throughout Galilee teaching in the synagogues, preaching everywhere the Good News about the Kingdom.

8 (a) It is the Gospel of the Kingdom (b) It is the Gospel of God

9 Mark 1:14 Later on, after John was arrested by Herod Antipas, Jesus went to Galilee to preach God's Good News.

10 (i) The Good News about God... (ii) The Good News from God...

11 (c) It is the Gospel of Jesus Christ

12 Mark 1:1 Here begins the Good News about Jesus the Messiah, the Son of God.

13 (i) Not only did Jesus bring... (ii) He also embodied it.

14 John 14:9 Jesus replied, "Philip, don't you even yet know who I am, even after all the time I have been with you? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father! So why are you asking to see him?

15 (d) It is a Gospel for all nations.

16 Mark 13:10 And the Good News must first be preached to every nation.

17 (e) It is a Gospel that must be personally received.

18 I Corinthians 15:1-2 Now let me remind you, dear brothers and sisters, of the Good News I preached to you before. You welcomed it then and still do now, for your faith is built on this wonderful message.

19 And it is this Good News that saves you if you firmly believe it - unless, of course, you believed something that was never true in the first place.

20 John 1:12 But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God.

21 Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes - Jews first and also Gentiles.

22 Why is a personal response to the Gospel necessary?

23 Romans 3:12 All have turned away from God; all have gone wrong. No one does good, not even one. Romans 3:23 For all have sinned; all fall short of God's glorious standard.

24 Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.

25 Romans 10:13-14 "Anyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." (14) But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them?

26 To Proclaim

27 To Proclaim John 15:18 Jesus said, "When the world hates you, remember it hated me before it hated you. I John 3:13 So don't be surprised, dear brothers and sisters, if the world hates you.

28 To Proclaim Acts 5:40b-42 "They called in the apostles and had them flogged. Then they ordered them never again to speak in the name of Jesus, and they let them go.

29 To Proclaim (41) The apostles left the high council rejoicing that God had counted them worthy to suffer dishonor for the name of Jesus.

30 To Proclaim (42) And every day, in the Temple and in their homes,they continued to teach and preach this message: "The Messiah you are looking for is Jesus.".

31 The Message/Proclamation I Corinthians 2:4 And my message and my preaching were very plain. I did not use wise and persuasive speeches, but the Holy Spirit was powerful among you.

32 The Message/Proclamation (A) Commission (B) Declaring (C) Gospel Formula

33 The Message/Proclamation 2 Corinthians 4:5a We don't go around preaching about ourselves; we preach Christ Jesus, the Lord.

34 The Message/Proclamation I Corinthians 15:3-6 I passed on to you what was most important and what had also been passed on to me-that Christ died for our sins, just as the Scriptures said.

35 The Message/Proclamation (4) He was buried, and he was raised from the dead on the third day, as the Scriptures said. (5) He was seen by Peter and then by the twelve apostles.

36 The Message/Proclamation (6) After that, he was seen by more than five hundred of his followers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have died by now.

37 The Message/Proclamation Definition: Effective evangelism is sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit and leaving the Results up to God.

38 Travel Tip of the Week Make a list of people who don t know Jesus and begin praying for them this week.
