1 HOW SHOULD WE SHARE OUR FAITH?

2 Mat 28:19 Therefore go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Mat 28:20 teaching them to observe all things, whatever I commanded you.

3 Gen 12:1 And Jehovah said to Abram, Go out of your country, and from your kindred, and from your father's house into a land that I will show you. Gen 12:2 And I will make you a great nation. And I will bless you and make your name great. And you shall be a blessing. Gen 12:3 And I will bless those that bless you and curse the one who curses you. And in you shall all families of the earth be blessed.

4 Psa 67:1 May God be merciful to us, and bless us, and cause His face to shine on us. Selah. Psa 67:2 So that Your way may be known on earth, Your salvation among all nations. Psa 67:3 Let the peoples praise You, O God; let all the peoples thank You. Psa 67:4 O let the nations be glad and sing for joy; for You shall judge the peoples righteously and govern the nations on earth.

5 Isa 49:6 And He said, It is but a little thing that You should be My servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to bring back the preserved ones of Israel; I will also give You for a light to the nations, to be My salvation to the end of the earth.

6 Act 17:15 And those conducting Paul brought him to Athens. And receiving a command to Silas and Timothy to come to him with all speed, they departed. Act 17:16 But awaiting them in Athens, Paul's spirit was pained within him, seeing the city full of idols. Act 17:17 Then indeed he addressed the Jews in the synagogue, and those worshiping, and daily in the market, to those happening to be there.

7 Act 17:18 And certain philosophers from the Epicureans and from the Stoics met him. And some said, What will this babbler say? And others said, He seems to be an announcer of foreign demons (because he preached Jesus and the resurrection to them). Act 17:19 And taking hold of him, they led him to the Areopagus, saying, Are we able to know what is this new doctrine of which you speak?

8 Act 17:20 For you bring certain strange things to our ears, therefore we are minded to know what these things mean. Act 17:21 (For all the Athenians and strangers who were there spent their time in nothing else except to tell or to hear something newer.)

9 Act 17:22 And standing in the middle of the Areopagus, Paul said, Men, Athenians, I see that you are fearful of gods in everything. Act 17:23 For as I passed by and saw the things you worship, I also found an altar with this inscription: TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Not knowing then whom you worship, I make Him known to you.

10 Act 17:24 The God who made the world and all things in it, since He is Lord of Heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands, Act 17:25 nor is served with men's hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives life and breath and all things to all.

11 Act 17:26 And He has made all nations of men of one blood to dwell on all the face of the earth, ordaining fore-appointed seasons and boundaries of their dwelling, Act 17:27 to seek the Lord, if perhaps they might feel after Him and find Him, though indeed He is not far from each one of us.

12 Act 17:28 For in Him we live and move and have our being, as also certain of your own poets have said, For we are also His offspring.

23 SALVATION FOR: THE AFTERLIFE OR A WAY TO LIVE THIS LIFE THAT IS MEANINGFUL AND LIFE GIVING

24 DESTINATION JOURNEY

25 LOGICAL STEP BY STEP PROCESS STORY AND NARRATIVE

26 SELF SUFFICIENCY BEING VULNERABLE

27 Is having the right doctrine more important than being known as a loving person?

28 Is being able to defend the Bible and our faith from a rational perspective more of an issue than taking care of the poor and needy?

29 Is presenting an image of having it all together a better witness than letting people see your flaws and brokenness AND your absolute need for redemption and forgiveness?

30 What presents a more compelling image of Jesus to others: a well thought out intellectual understanding of God or a passionate, risk taking love for Jesus Christ?

31 As believers we would like to be: A LOVER A DOER A THINKER

32 “Preach the gospel always, and when necessary use words” -Francis of Assisi
