Well Witnessing, Part 3: The Pattern Of Response Series

Contributed by Jim Drake on Jan 26, 2009

When going into a new situation, it’s always good to be prepared for what’s going to happen ahead of time. In this passage, we see how people typically respond to the gospel in one-on-one evangelism.

Pastor Jim’s blog: http://brushforkbanner.blogspot.com As you know, we’ve been in this passage for three weeks now. There’s a reason for that. The reason is that I think this is one of the best passages on personal evangelism in the whole Bible. The Bible is filled with personal evangelism ...read more

Relating To Jesus Outside Religion Series

Contributed by Brad Bailey on May 22, 2008

Helping ourselves and others relate to Jesus not as one who started a new religion… nor who can be known merely through religious tradition… but who defies religious confines… and who seeks relationship.

Intro – One of the more interesting dynamics in my own process of having ‘holy conversation’ is when someone asks what I do. When they discover I’m a pastor… I’ve seen all sorts of things go off. Discomfort with their behavior, discomfort with what they then expect from me, or even just ...read more

The Witness Of Scriptures Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Jun 9, 2008

Openness to God precedes the reception of Scripture truth. We are not to guide Scriptures, they are to guide us...to God. We are not to make Scriptures say what we think or want them to say, but let them say what God desires to reveal.

JOHN 5: 39-47 THE WITNESS OF THE SCRIPTURES [Luke 24: 25-27, 44-49 / Luke 16: 19-31] The previous passage tried to teach us that openness to belief must precede the reception of truth. Now John affirms that openness to God precedes the reception ...read more

The Outcast Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Dec 10, 2007

Do you ever feel like you have to keep everyone at arms length because you just don’t trust them? Perhaps you feel like who you are is just not acceptable. Jesus comes to such a person in John 4 and engages them in a patient yet revealing dialog that chan

Picture this: Your political beliefs put you in the small minority. The majority party, in fact, shuns you.

An Inquisitive Woman At The Well Series

Contributed by Neil Partington on Jul 5, 2007

It’s odd that Jesus did not reveal who He was to His closest followers, but instead reveals Himself to a Samaritan woman at a well. Was it b/c He needed to share it with someone? Or was it b/c she believed and He knew her heart?

From time to time, all of us have felt the sting of rejection We might have been rejected from our friends, our families, our jobs, or maybe even the church Rejections brings with it pain and suffering, the feeling of abandonment and loss And by no means is it a characteristic that we eagerly ...read more
