1 Peter 2:9-10 “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.”

What Are We Doing Here? 1 Peter 2:9-10 A.Our identity has changed (Ephesians 2) I.Soul-Winning Is Our Identity “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God”

Our Former Identity Dead Disobedient Children of Wrath Separate from Christ Alienated Strangers No Hope Without God

What Are We Doing Here? 1 Peter 2:9-10 I.Soul-Winning Is Our Identity “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God …” II.Soul-Winning Is Our Purpose “… that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.” III.Soul-Winning Is Our Duty “… a people belonging to God … Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people…”

How Do We Fulfill This Purpose? 1.Don’t expect everyone to do evangelism the same way. 2.Be a reflection of Christ. 3.Build relationships. 4.Have a Bible study.

Conclusion Winning souls is our PURPOSE, our REASON FOR EXISTENCE, our RESPONSIBILITY. God changed you so that He could use you and your purpose is to proclaim!
