1. Welcome to DEEPER LIFE BIBLE CHURCH, AMSTERDAM Year of A Bountiful Harvest Sunday Worship Service 02 June 2019

2. The Christian’s sole business is the winning of souls!
THE PRIORITY AND URGENCY OF WINNING THE LOST – John 9:4; 1 Corinthians 9:16
The Christian’s sole business is the winning of souls!

3. KEY THOUGHT Soul winning is the chief business of the Christian
KEY THOUGHT Soul winning is the chief business of the Christian. It is his consuming passion, his constant pursuit and his core preoccupation. Time will not be available for the sinner and the soul winner forever. The challenge to us is to rise up now and win the lost at any cost!

4. PITIFUL AND UNFORTUNATE STATE OF SINNERS
The sinner’s state is pathetic. They are:
Lost and blind: 2 Cor 4:3,4
Ignorant and dead: 1 Tim 1:13; Ep 2:1
Children of wrath and disobedience: vs 3,4
Without hope and peace: vs 12; Isa 48:22
Without shame: Zep 3:5
Knowledge of the sinner’s state should not lead to condemnation, it should rather move the soul winner to compassion and action!

5. PRIORITY AND URGENCY OF SOUL WINNING
Why must soul winning be our priority?
God’s perspective:
Christ died for it: 1 Tim 2:3-6; Jn 3:16
Christ lived for it: Mat 1:21; Jn 9:4
The soul winner’s perspective:
We are saved to serve: Lk 19:12,13
Time is short: Jn 9:4; Rev 22:10
Consequence for neglect: Ez 33:17-19
The sinner’s perspective:
The devil is unrelenting: Rev 12:12
Eternal punishment awaits: Ps 9:17

6. PROFITS AND USEFULNESS OF SUCCESSFUL SOUL WINNING
Successful soul winning has its profits:
It brings joy in heaven: Lk 15:7
It saves the sinner from death: Jam 5:20
It produces soul winners: Jn 4:28, 29
It brings reward in heaven: Dan 12:3
“Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.” May the Lord grant us the passion!
“And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.”
– Daniel 12:3

7. TIME TO PRAY!
