1. How do People Come to Christ?
Graeme Sterne
2006

2. In your experience… At a church camp
When faced with tough circumstances
Gradually, through Sunday School classes or Bible Study
Being confronted on the street or somewhere

3. In the Bible … When a miracle happened
When a relative or friend introduced the person to Christ
After preaching
In tough circumstances

4. Romans 10:9-15 Must confess with your mouth Believe in your heart
Call on the name of the Lord
How can they call if they have not believed?
How can they believe if they have not heard?
How can they hear without a preacher?
Who will preach unless they are sent?

5. Mark 16:15, 16 Go into all the world and
preach the good news to all creation
Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved
but
whoever does not believe will be condemned

6. John 15: 13, 14
Greater love has no man than this that he lay down his life for his friends
You are My friends if you do what I command you
So, are you obeying Christ by sharing the good news?

7. If you call yourself a Christian you must be involved in sharing the gospel somehow …
A Bible study/discussion group
Conversations with people
Invitation to camp
A programme to reach the neighbours
Dinners where the Gospel is shared

8. Our mission is A continuation of Jesus’ mission Lk 19:10
A wonderful privilege II Cor. 5:16-20
A great act of love John 15:13
Of eternal significance I Thess 2:19,20

9. Imagine how this looks from the “other side”
A good mate
A hard working person
An honest person
Really loved people
Motivated
Community minded
But never told me how to become a Christian

10. So what will you do about this?
See Lawrence
