4. What Shall I Say? ? ?

5. How to Reach the Lost
MOTIVATION: MESSAGE: What to say to the lost

6. When God Calls Men….
Exodus 3:13 …”what shall I say to them?“ Joshua 7:8 “what shall I say?” Jeremiah 1:6 “I cannot speak” Luke 12:11 “do not worry what you will say”
Motivation is perhaps what is missing the most in our personal evangelism. Today we will focus in on the three things we need to be motivated to reach the lost. We need all three, but we will see an example of a succesful evangelist with only one of these qualities, because……..
The premise of the lesson is that the more we understand our salvation is not corporate, but individual, the more we realize that our works (specificially to these two lessons, evangelism) are better accomplished personally. This is not to say that the church lacks the authority for evangelism, but that the individual is better equipped and more directed to this work than the church. The church prepares the individual christian for evangelism (Eph 4), not vice versa

7. When God Calls Men….
Many worried about what to say God said “Don’t”!

8. Sometimes Simply..
Living your life Asking what is being read Asking for a drink of water Remarking on religion in general

9. The Point Is…..
There is no single way to share the Gospel Not doing anything will NEVER work

19. Conversion Conversation
Is there more we need to know about God? Matthew 3:16-17 When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."

Explain to me the parts of the Gospel Ephesians 1:7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace

25. Conversion Conversation
Why is Jesus’ death/blood important?

26. Conversion Conversation
Why is Jesus’ resurrection important? 1 Corinthians 15:20 But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.

27. Conversion Conversation
What does the Gospel do? 2 Timothy 1:10 but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,

32. Conversion Conversation
How can someone “obey” the “Gospel”? Romans 6:3-4 Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

What happens when I obey this Gospel? Romans 6:17 But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered.

35. Conversion Conversation
Is it hard being a Christian? John 15:20 "Remember the word that I said to you, 'A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also.

36. Conversion Conversation
What might it cost to be a Christian? Luke 14:26 "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple.
