TIPS for Christian want to evangelize the words of God. Evangelism Technics: Three Parts to a Testimony How God prepared you to trust Jesus (BC days) No details that would glorify Satan How you came to Jesus Climax/Turning point of your story How trusting Jesus changed your life Focus on what God’s done and is doing now See: Rev 12:10-11, Acts 26 5 Steps to Resolve Cognitive Dissonance Who are you? Why should they listen to you? What are you talking about? Why it is important for them? What you want them to do? Three Open Prayer 1. God open A Door (Col. 4:3-4) 2. God open up their heart (Acts 16:14, Mat 9:37) 3. God open my mouth (Eph 6:19-20) Romans Road Rom. 3:23 -> Rom. 6:23 -> (Rom. 5:8) -> Rom. 10:9 -> (Rom. 10:13) Bill’s Technique: Listening is key, evangelism is not about interrupting with your opinions Do you have any kind of spiritual belief? (not believing IS a spiritual belief) To you, who is Jesus? Do you believe there is a heaven and a hell? If you died right now, where would you go? Why? If what you believe were not true would you want to know? (Yes, share gospel (ask them to read each verse out loud, what each scripture means to them); No, don’t quarrel, they’re not open to receiving) Don’t have the salvation verses memorized? Not a problem Inside the front cover of your bible list the first verse address. Highlight each key verse. At the bottom of the page of the key verse write the verse number of the next key verse to read. Example verse list: Rom. 6:23, John 3:3, John 14:6, Rom 10:9-11, 2 Cor 5:15 Why Evangelize? Rom 10:14-15, Matt. 24:14 Biblical Examples of Evangelism: Acts 14:21, Gal 4:13, 1Th 2:9 Bad Motivations: Glorify Self (3 John 1:9) Lording (1 Pet 5:3) Coveting Power or Position (1 Tim 3:1) Good Motivations: Serve/Glorify Jesus(1cor10:31) To minister to people (Mark 10:45) Explore your gifting (1 cor 12:4-7) Serve in your gifting (Eph. 4:16) General Evangelism Tips: PRAY PRAY PRAY (I don’t think we can emphasize this enough) We are ALL called to do the work of an evangelist even if we don’t have the “gift of evangelism”. (See 2 tim 4:1-5) You don’t have to go out of your way or set aside a specific time to evangelize. There are opportunities in our everyday life to share about our hope in Jesus: At school, work, sporting events, with friends, neighbors, and so on. It doesn’t have to be offensive to share about your faith, your faith is a part of who you are, and it should just naturally flow out of the abundance of your heart. Just keep your eyes open and pray for opportunities. God is the only one who can change hearts Give grace to the humble, save the law for the proud Have a right heart in why you are sharing your faith, God will honor that Don’t be discouraged if you aren’t seeing fruit from sharing your faith right away. Remember the story about the evangelist from Sydney who handed out tracts and the scripture “Don’t grow weary in doing good while doing Good for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart” (Galations 6:9)
