Evangelism 2

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Oct 1, 2013

What is our motivation for evangelism? Are we safe in our "cocoon" of personal salvation or do we see the lost people of the world as those who are truly in danger of an eternity without the Lord?

Last Sunday we took a look at some of the attitudes we need and which we might encounter as we seek to tell others about the salvation that can only be found in Jesus Christ. We need to be ready for some “push back” - preconceived ideas We need to be ready to engage the “down and ...read more

Contributed by J Jeffrey Smead on Nov 4, 2010

The crowds followed Jesus into the wilderness without a second thought. Almost like children, they seemed to respond to Jesus in a manner that they truly believed that Wherever Jesus is; He will care for us. Do we feel that way about Jesus?

Jesus Is Risen -- No Foolin'!

Contributed by Perry Greene on Mar 27, 2018
