I HAVE DECIDED TO FOLLOW JESUS I have decided to follow Jesus; I have decided to follow Jesus; I have decided to follow Jesus; No turning back, no turning back. Tho’ none go with me, I still will follow, Tho’ none go with me I still will follow, Tho’ none go with me, I still will follow; No turning back, no turning back.

My cross I’ll carry, till I see Jesus; My cross I’ll carry till I see Jesus, My cross I’ll carry till I see Jesus; No turning back, No turning back. The world behind me, the cross before me, The world behind me, the cross before me; The world behind me, the cross before me; No turning back, no turning back.

ACTS 8:26-40 CATCH THAT CHARIOT! God’s Witnesses to the World (Growing, Glowing, Going )

Contrast in Evangelism (26-29) On the road again (26) In God’s plan again (27-28) Through the Spirit again (29) In God’s value system, it matters not whether one preaches to hundreds in a city or one in the desert. Faithfulness to call is the only issue.

Contact with the Target (30-35) Making the connection (30-31) Using the Bible (32-33) Explaining the gospel (34-35) When a willing Christian communicates the gospel to a prepared listener, spiritual miracles take place.

Convert in the Desert (36-40) Baptism follows faith(36-38) Rejoicing follows regeneration (39) Philip follows the Spirit (40) God has ordained believer’s baptism as a way of demonstrating that we have come to faith in His Son.

PRINCIPLES God can do amazing things through an available layperson. Every believer should be ready to explain the gospel. The good news about Jesus is not limited to any ethnic or cultural group. All service for the Lord must be engendered and empowered by His Spirit.

APPLICATIONS Be ready to go to any place for God at any time. Know your Bible well, and grow in your ability to use it. Don’t minimize the importance of the Old Testament. Instead, know how to find Christ there as often as possible. Be ready to “catch your chariot” whenever and wherever it comes along.

CONCLUSION Leading other people to Christ requires that we be ready, unafraid, able to use God’s Word, and filled with the Holy Spirit.
