Light Of The World

Contributed by Peter Adigizi David on Nov 8, 2013

Connecting With The World Series

Contributed by Paul Barreca on Feb 10, 2016

Understanding your audience is important! But while it is EASY to see this in MISSIONS, we fail to apply this to evangelism!

Let me share a fictitious story about two missionaries and their approach to missions. These two missionary couples are not real.

Surprising The World Premium Sermon

Contributed by PRO Premium on Oct 9, 2023

This sermon introduction discusses the anxiety some people feel towards evangelism, questioning if faith-sharing should be anxiety-inducing, and referencing Michael Frost's book "Surprise the World" which suggests that not everyone should be expected to evangelize in the same way.

Why does the word ‘evangelism’ cause some people so much anxiety? Do you get images of door-knocking or approaching strangers in shopping malls? Does it make you feel like you’re being turned into a reluctant recruitment officer for the church? Should faith-sharing really be anxiety producing? In ...read more
