Our Month Of Evangelism
Contributed by Pastor Amos Dele Dada on Jun 11, 2020 (message contributor)
Summary: With great delight and praise to God in the name of Jesus I wholeheartedly welcome you to the month of our Evangelism.
5. Bad Theology. This brand of bad theology has a range. One extreme defangs hell by making it mythical or instantaneous suffering (as opposed to eternal, hell is here on earth) Therefore removing the urgency to evangelize. The other side of the range uses the doctrine of election as a way to eradicate urgency. After all, if God is sovereign in salvation why evangelize? 144,000 that will be saved. Not true. The Cure: "Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory." 2 Timothy 2:10
How To Evangelize and types of Evangelism.
The Apostle Paul said "I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek" Rom 1:16, There all kinds of group of people. Children, family members, Evolutionist, LGBT community. There are some basic things you must do, but you can apply some methods to make it clearer to the grow.
1. Lifestyle Evangelism. Lifestyle evangelism is often understood one of two ways. Live right and people will see the gospel in one's life. Live right and people will ask about God
2. Servant Evangelism (aka Service Evangelism) This approach uses simple acts of kindness, or service, for evangelism.
3. Event Evangelism. This is a popular method among churches and groups, the most famous of which are revival services and vacation Bible schools.
4. Neighborhood Evangelism (aka Door-to-Door Evangelism). This method involves going to homes and sharing the gospel with those who answer.
5. Street Evangelism. It involves someone standing at a location with pedestrian traffic and proclaiming the gospel to passersby.
6. Tract Evangelism. Tract evangelism uses gospel tracts to present the gospel. This type is fading away now. However, there are three ways to use tracts: (1) take someone through the tract, using it as a visual aid, (2) sharing the gospel then giving the person a tract for further consideration, or (3) leaving the tract for someone without a personal conversation.
7. Conversational Evangelism (aka Relational Evangelism).Some may distinguish between "conversational" and "relational." Conversational evangelisms starting a conversation for the purpose of sharing the gospel; relational evangelism is seeking to relate to the person, looking for permission-i.e., an open door-to discuss spiritual matter. Although conversational evangelism is probably the least common method of evangelism, it's undoubtedly the most effective. It is simply sharing Jesus with someone in a normal, everyday conversation style.
8. Mass Evangelism. Getting many people to a particular place and preaching to them. Evangelists like Billy Graham, Reinhard Bonnke, Apostle Ayodele Babalola are few examples of people in the last Century. Its fading away too, but should not.
9. Online. Create websites and blogs. Most Churches do now. The Social Media is a tool in our generation to evangelize: YouTube, Facebook (Particularly Facebook Live), Instagram, Twitter, WhatsApp, and other social media outlets that allow you to post biblical articles or quotes of Scripture that point people to their need for Christ (first) in the hopes that they will run to the Savior for salvation.
