    Caution: Restoring New Testament Evangelism Series

    Contributed by Jason Smith on Sep 15, 2014
     | 6,864 views

    This lesson examines what the Bible means when it talks about evangelism and then compares this to what we see being called "evangelism" today. Have we redefined evangelism to ease our consciences?

    Introduction Our first lesson was a reminder of our mission. We have been given the green light to evangelize by the Lord, and this mission was given to each and every Christian, not just a select few. Each one of us are called by God to “love our neighbor as ourselves” and to have an ...read more

    Large crowds followed Jesus, coming where He was. He could've waited on them to come to Him, but often He went out, seeking them. Jesus was often found among those society rejected. We too must be willing to go where they are, seeking to reach them.

    Found among Sinners Mark 2: 13-17 Following a season of ministry around the region of Galilee, Jesus had returned to Capernaum. His return created quite a stir, as multitudes arrived at Peter’s house, hoping to see Jesus. The palsied man was miraculously healed, and Jesus made a statement that ...read more

    We like to be invited to things. It makes us feel good to be on the guest list. It tells you the person cares and wants you to be a part of what they're doing. Jesus gave an invitation in Matt. 11:28-30. Let's take a look at this invitation and see what we can learn.

    COME TO ME Matt. 11:28-30 We like to be invited to things. Depending on the event, we might get a fancy, overpriced invitation in the mail, requesting our presence at such-and-such.

    In our scripture today, God calls us Christ’s ambassadors. What exactly does that mean? An ambassador is someone who represents the interests of their homeland in a foreign country. Spiritually speaking, we are to represent Jesus and invite others

    Bring 2 Corinthians 5:18 I think it’s safe to say that the majority of us are here today because of someone else. Maybe you were invited by someone or maybe you grew up in this church and you’re here because of your family. Even those of you who came here on your own, more than likely ...read more

    It is because we’re only human that we can come into God’s presence only under Jesus’ sponsorship, and clothed in his grace.

    I got an offer last week that I almost didn’t refuse. It was from a travel company who, in return for my coming to a one-hour pitch for their company, would give me 4 free days and nights in any one of dozens of different destinations, and if I came between Tuesday and Thursday they’d double the ...read more

    This message proclaims God’s gracious invitation to salvation, pictured in Jesus’ parable of the wedding feast. It calls hearers to accept the free gift of Christ’s righteousness—the wedding garment—and to live daily in surrendered fellowship.

    Introduction: The Search and the Invitation Picture the best church potluck you’ve ever attended. The tables sag under the weight of steaming casseroles, fragrant breads, fruit and desserts that dare you to try “just one bite.” Everyone brings something, but nobody goes hungry.
