Our current series truly has been a delight to work on and share with you. I pray that you are continually learning more about yourselves and God’s story throughout this study. The point of our endeavor is to learn how to effectively reach the “lost” and evangelize not only our back yard, but the world. As somebody who has been learning, studying, and practicing this since high school years, I find no greater joy than passing on the bit of knowledge I have learned concerning the subject. I have been blessed to have many people in my life take me under their wing and mentor me and I pray as we finish up this study of the next few weeks you will decide to find someone to pass this onto!
Next week, I will be absent due to my travel to Virginia. However, Sunday has been left in very capable hands! I know you are all excited to hear brother Terry speak in morning worship and brother Chris bring a lesson in the evening! Terry will be discussing God’s restoring grace and how His grace restores our relationship with Him. This will prove to be a wonderful study that uses Romans 5 as a springboard. Chris will be bringing the lesson for our Thematic topic that night and will be covering our response and God’s salvation using events and examples in the book of Acts as a springboard. Both sermons will prove to be worthwhile and I wish I was able to hear them in first person (although, the recorded audio will have to work for me this time). Also, Joe will be teaching the morning adult class and will lead you through different objections you may run into throughout the evangelism process! Please keep these three in your prayers as they prepare for Sunday! I am so thankful we have wonderful men who are willing to step up and lead the congregation!
Challenge: I challenge you to continue working on your story and begin practicing that story until it is concise, to the point, and 3-4 minutes in length! Then pray for an audience to share it with (i.e. a non-Christian).
