5 False Choices about Evangelism

Posted by on November 4, 2007 under Sermons

  1. Domestic or Foreign
    • Globalization has shrunk the world
    • Here is there and there is here
    • Acts 8 response to change
  2. Evangelism or Edification
    • Discipleship involves both
    • Which is for “us” and which is for “them”?
    • “Insider” or “Outsider” ministry distinctions fail
  3. Service or Evangelism
    • How do we proclaim good news?
    • Jesus’ ministry was teaching, healing, casting out evil
    • Luke 4 and Isaiah 61
  4. Ministers or Members
    • Do we believe in the “priesthood of all believers”?
    • Networking and designated ministers still work together
    • Luke 16
    • Who Evangelized? [Evangelism is the church’s project. Network of relationships.]
  5. God or Us
    • It is God’s work
    • We are God’s work
    • God works within us
    • Ephesians 3:20-21
    • “I am with you always” [Christ’s promise]
