Welcome to Hanway Tagalog Sermon Podcast, your daily dose of inspiring,
-
heartfelt tagalog sermons from different pastors and speakers all over
-
the Philippines. We hope that this podcast finds you in
-
good shape. And now here's your message. I'll give the
-
Lord a handclap. He's great, yay, and we're gonna dismiss children,
-
allow them to go to Superchurch in the back Pastor Greg,
-
Mss Laura and the team that's serving today. The rest
-
of you get your bulletin, turn it over for the notes,
-
and let's get our bible. Hold it up and declare
-
who we are? You ready, let's say this the kids
-
are going out. This is my Bible. It is the
-
standard I live my life by. I am a spiritfuled believer,
-
sustained by my personal relationship with the Lord, empowered by
-
my commitment to community and express throughout reach to others. Therefore,
-
I can say, and all right, hey, I really want
-
to encourage you with these notes. Some of this as
-
we're going through it, I'm going to challenge you to
-
put it in your Bible and you'll see why in
-
a little bit. Write it in your bible so that
-
you can use it on Wednesday night, all our classes
-
are up and running, my class, factory, culture, different ones
-
in ministry. I'm having them give testimony right now. It's
-
just powerful. Wednesday night was awesome, Todd Hunters shared. So
-
each week it'll be someone different. Don and Perry have
-
the Book of James Man up. They're doing a new curriculum,
-
Women of Courage and new curriculum. So there's a lot
-
going on, and our teens have their own service and
-
so forth. Today we're going to complete this series Change
-
your World, and in two weeks from today, I want
-
to start a series on the Holy Spirit. Just really
-
let's dive into the person of the Holy Spirit see
-
work in our life and how we need to rely
-
on him, trust him and receive him more. Amen, So
-
be praying over that as we begin developing that. But
-
let's conclude this Change your World. Just briefly recap for you.
-
The first two weeks were on this. We just talked
-
about the stewardship of influence that's needed. You need to
-
steward your influence because you have influence. Three of you agree, okay,
-
I said you have of influence? You do, and when
-
you know that, it just changes your world. And that
-
was a big picture week, and I gave you the
-
vision night vision that let's see Bill Bright and Lauren
-
Cunningham had on the same night in nineteen seventy five.
-
They were scheduled to have lunch the next day and
-
each one had the exact same vision from the Lord.
-
And when they got to their lunch, they were so
-
excited to want to share theirs and they pulled out
-
their papers and it was exact seven points. Don't you
-
think that's a confirmation from the Lord? And because both
-
of them affect the world, how about that they affect
-
the world. So let's start lifting up our eyes, because
-
you can change your world, and you change it by
-
changing your world. That's how we change the world. If
-
the Body of Christ would think this way, we really
-
could change the world. So that's why I'm challenging us
-
with this. After we finished the study of Galatians, we've
-
stepped right into this. But those seven areas I've given
-
them to you, they'll come up on the screen. The church, family, government, education, media, business, arts,
-
and entertainment. And for our area, entertainment would be more sports.
-
We live in a very sports centered type of environment,
-
and our whole state week three, we brought it a
-
little bit closer in and we talked about our own sphere.
-
What does your spe look like people around us? And
-
we need to recognize and exercise that influence. So I
-
gave you some practical ways how you can do that.
-
Last week I gave you tools. We looked at the
-
most excellent way from the word of God. It's not
-
the only way, but it is the most excellent way.
-
People experience the most in some type of relational connection.
-
Everybody say relational connection. Let me say it this way.
-
A person's life does not usually change with information. It
-
really doesn't. It does not change with information. It always
-
is changed relationally. Think about how you came to Christ.
-
Most of you, I think there was a person involved,
-
right family member, a caring coach, somebody involved in your life.
-
You probably can't tell me the message that you heard,
-
the word that we're shared, to the scriptures that we shared,
-
But you can tell me the person who prayed with you.
-
You can do that. Life change happens in relationship. So
-
by God's design and even our design, we're putting together
-
some smaller groups settings so that you can develop more
-
and we want you to see everything going on and
-
things that you want to develop, giving you a platform
-
far because you belong. And that'll happen again on September tenth,
-
when we have everything out right after the Labor Day weekend,
-
and we want to highlight all these things because we're
-
still in vacation mode and people are vacationing and so
-
forth till we get through Labor Day. This smaller groups,
-
ministry groups, outreach groups. It sets you up for relationship,
-
It sets you up for intentional interaction. Truth comes out,
-
people share, iron sharpens iron. So today as we close this,
-
I want to bring it down even smaller than from
-
the big world to our spear to this, Let's just
-
talk about one person at a time, just one person.
-
Do you have one person you would love to see saved?
-
Janette say she has two? Anybody have two? Do I
-
hear three? Okay, hopefully we do just one person at
-
a time. Let's begin by looking at a verse that
-
starts the Gospel of Mark and ends the gospel, and
-
to me, really even shares what the gospel is all about.
-
When Jesus started putting his followers together, his close knit group,
-
his disciples, he says, I'm going to make you into something. Right,
-
he was going to make them into something. Now you
-
think Jesus was going to turn them into something, make
-
them nicer, make them kinder, make them spiritual, make them
-
full of head knowledge. So when they walk there bobbling
-
around because they've got the answer for everyone. No, when
-
Jesus started gathering his followers together, he used the language
-
of the time and what was important to the people
-
and what was around the people consistently. Mark one, verse
-
seventeen says this, Come follow me, Jesus said, and I
-
will make you what. I'm going to make you into something,
-
not just change you, but make you. I'm going to
-
teach you, Jesus says, how to use your life in
-
some way, or how to impact another person's life. Let
-
me share the importance of this and hopefully remove some
-
of the fears associated with this topic, because a lot
-
of people are extremely intimidated about evangelism. That's a big word,
-
and it kind of scares me too, to be honest,
-
because when you think of an evangelist, what comes to
-
your mind? Spit fire. Okay, I'm dating myself, white leather
-
patent shoes in a three piece suit, right, come on loud,
-
Maybe obnoxious. Yeah, come on, Chris. Chris is an evangelist,
-
but he's not obnoxious. He's just loud and fun. It's great.
-
How many got to hear Chris said our outreach back
-
to school, he had everybody just mesmerize, and it is
-
a gifting in him. But a lot of times we think, well,
-
I'm not like that. I'm not like Chris, so therefore
-
I'm disqualified from being that. No. Now look at Mark sixteen,
-
verse fifteen. I'm gonna read this out of the New
-
Century version. Jesus said to his followers, go everywhere in
-
the world and tell the good news to everyone. That's
-
pretty simple, right, very simple. Now, let's think us some
-
adjectives to describe the person responsible for you to come
-
into Christ. Caring, committed, faithful, cut me out, I'm saying
-
them all, give me some others, loving, gentle, persistent, truthful. Interesting.
-
How about that? That's kind of neat? Huh honest, bold,
-
You're using whole different words than the words we used
-
to describe in our mind of an evangelist. Somehow, some
-
believers think evangelism is extreme behavior and approach to people,
-
when really it's just caring, truthful, persistent, honest, loving all
-
the things that you've just shared Acts one, verse eight.
-
You're very familiar with this verse, but let's take this
-
and use it in terms of what we're talking about today.
-
Jesus said, you receive power when the Holy Spirit comes
-
on you, and you will be my say the next word,
-
witnesses in Jerusalem, that's right where you are. In Algidea
-
and Samaria, that's the broader area, and to what the
-
ends of the year. So Jesus is interested in the
-
world being changed by believers because they are witnesses. In
-
a courtroom, you have a prosecutor or a prosecuting attorney,
-
you have a defense attorney, and then you'll have witnesses
-
that are called to the stand. A witness is supposed
-
to just share what they have, what they've seen, what
-
they've witnessed, what they saw that took place. They're not
-
there to prosecute, they're not there to defend. They're just
-
telling their story. Can I tell you what has happened
-
to me and the difference God has made in my life?
-
And when you do that, listen, when you do that,
-
the world is very interested in that. It puts them
-
at ease and they're not defensive. This is your destiny
-
if you are a follower of Jesus, because followers fish.
-
Now listen. If you're not fishing, please hear me. And
-
I say this in gentleness. You probably are miserable and
-
critical because you're analyzing life or the Word, or family
-
or this set and the other. But when you are fishing,
-
you're so focused on the heartbeat of God. You're digging
-
in the Word. You're digging to find out what you
-
can do to help the person that's on your heart.
-
Come on, help me out somebody. Who are you fishing
-
for right now? Think about who? If I were to
-
go up to you and say, give me the name
-
of the person you're fishing for. If you can't give
-
me one, whether it's a family member, a neighbor, coworker,
-
someone you're going to school with, yeah, if you don't
-
have one, ask God for them and all you got
-
to do. And I'm gonna show you in a few
-
moments how that can take place, because you will not
-
find your purpose until you're fishing well. I like this,
-
and I like to study and a great do and
-
then it incorporates into fishing well. I want to study
-
in times, I want to do this, great, it'll incorporate
-
into fishing. It's not just having it here, but it's
-
been able to take all the things that are important
-
to you and use it in fishing and reaching the
-
world and reaching the people around you. You know, you say,
-
well I just want deep teaching. Well here's something deep.
-
Let's do what Jesus ask us to do and you'll
-
be happy. The person drowning and dying and their problem
-
doesn't need the Greek word for life raft. They just
-
need you to come on, so we can't get away
-
from them. It's all through the Bible. And maybe we
-
just need to ask God to give us a love
-
for people. How about that? You know? And please, I
-
mean if you watch too much of the news and
-
this and so forth in everybody's opinion, and I tell
-
you what, I limit it because it starts drowning my
-
love for Christ and people. We need it. We don't
-
want to be an ostrich with our hidden the sind.
-
But please don't let anything drown your love out for people.
-
Two Timothy four two through five. Preach the word of God.
-
Be prepared whether the time is favorable or not. And
-
normally it's not this be honest work look, work at
-
telling others the good news. In other words, you've got
-
to study and prepare and know what to do, work
-
at telling the good news, use and fully carry out
-
the ministry God has given you, which is telling the
-
good news. So I'm just going to give you four
-
simple things to make this simple and in all kinds
-
of rhymes. You know, preachers got to do that. Evangelism
-
is not you knowing how to explain the whole Bible
-
to someone and convince them that your way is better
-
than theirs. It's just one person at a time. So
-
here we go. Point number one, Become aware. What do
-
you mean, pastor, here's my little saying. I've said it before.
-
Wherever you are, just be all there, and being all
-
there is your eyes looking out. Ask people questions, ask
-
them about their family, talk to them about their life,
-
find out their need. Become aware of others. This is
-
your ministry. Becoming aware number one the two things it
-
is your ministry. This is a strong word, but I'm
-
going to use it. It really is God's expectation of us.
-
It doesn't mean he doesn't love us if we never
-
witness I'm not saying that or that he won't be
-
happy with you. But you know I want I don't
-
want Jesus just to accept me because I've prayed a
-
sinner's prayer and I'm trying to follow him. I want
-
him to be happy with me too. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
-
you know lil saying. It was in our John Beavie
-
series we completed. John and his wife Lisa told their
-
children at some point, we want you to know there's
-
nothing you can do that makes us love you less,
-
and all the kids smiled, and then they said, there's
-
nothing you could do that would even make us love
-
you more, but you can determine how happy we are
-
with you in that good I want Jesus happy when
-
your name is mentioned, not just why. I've got my
-
past to heaven and I'm going to hold on. But
-
it doesn't matter what stage, how young, oh whatever this
-
gets burning in your heart, you come alive. It just
-
come alive. It's the way of life. Romans ten, verse
-
fourteen through fifteen. Romans ten fourteen and fifteen. How then,
-
can they call on the one they have not believed in?
-
And how can they believe in the one whom they've
-
not heard? How can anyone preach unless they're sin of
-
course we use this for missions and so forth as
-
it is written. And I love this promise from the
-
Old Testament. How beautiful are the feet of those who
-
bring what goodness? Bring people good news. Don't go fix people.
-
Don't go to other believers and tell them everything's wrong
-
in their life. Don't do that to one another. You
-
hear me. If you do that, stop it, Just stop it.
-
That doesn't help any of that. It hurts relationships. Just
-
bring good news to people. Everybody say good news. Do
-
that MENO set you free, It'll help you. Two Corinthians
-
five twenty says this, we're christ ambassadors. God is making
-
his appeal through us, so this is your ministry. And
-
number two still on this point, God doesn't have a
-
plan be you're it. The appeal is through us. So
-
be aware of this and what you're to do. Be
-
aware of the simple process. Now this guy ingles, I
-
don't know it, but I found this chart and I
-
liked it, and I encourage you to even write it
-
in your Bible somewhere, because this will help you to
-
see where people are that you're wanting to bring to Christ.
-
I think very often we think, Okay, I've got to
-
seal the deal, and if I can't do it the
-
first time, I'd just turn them over to the devil
-
and send them to hell. And it's a process very often.
-
And the whole thing is you're wanting to just keep
-
bringing people closer along. I gave you the illustration of
-
Carl Delatt over the last couple of weeks and what
-
he did when he was in sales, and how he
-
had a revolving door in his office because he baited
-
people so much and loved him. They'd be in his
-
office begging him what makes you difference? And he did, Well,
-
you're not ready to know. He'd send them away for
-
weeks at a time until the point where they so
-
trusted him. When he would then share about Jesus, every
-
one of them would get saved. How about that? How
-
many think that win his souls his wives? He was
-
wise in his approach, and he had love for people.
-
So how does this process work? Look at this? Well,
-
let me Readfirse Corinthians three, verse six, out of the
-
Living Bible. My work was to plant the seed in
-
your arts, and then Apollo's work was to water it.
-
It was God, not we, who made the garden grow
-
in your hearts. This shows you there is a process.
-
There is a process going on. So where are people
-
number one resistant? Negative six? Just resistant? This is all
-
from Ingles in his study, just far from God. Probably
-
resistance because of fear, hurt, unforgiveness, bitterness, ignorance. And I've
-
used this before when someone says, well, I've been hurt
-
by Christians. I've had that. I go, yeah, me too,
-
and that just takes them off guard, like you have. Yeah.
-
You gotta get over it though, because you're gonna hurt someone.
-
Everybody hurt someone, and someone who holds onto a hurt
-
and uses that as their foundation, they're sunk. They're sunk
-
at that point and they just go down. So we
-
all deal with hurt, and you deal with it in
-
your home relationships. We all eat a meal that makes
-
us sick. You get over it and you eat again,
-
don't you. You don't stop eating at that point. So
-
it's just trying to get them to move closer so
-
they're resistant. What happens after that, well, there's just a
-
slight crack in that hard shell and they become receptive.
-
Everyone has hurts, disappointments. You're able to start relating to them.
-
Maybe about some of that and showing that you understand.
-
Then a negative four seeking well, they realize, Okay, I
-
do need to change. I need to quit kicking the
-
dog or whatever. I need to change. I need to
-
deal with these addictions. I need to deal with stuff
-
that's causing defeat and depression. So there's even a greater
-
opening there because they realize change is needed. And you
-
just meet them at that point of reception number negative
-
three considering, well, they're looking at options. They're looking at
-
maybe some of the things that you have shared. Maybe
-
you've given them a book to read, or a CD
-
or some music, something of that nature. What's cool about
-
this stage is that they don't like where they are
-
right now. You hear me. See that's a signal. When
-
a person doesn't like where they are and you have
-
the relationship, there's a door because they don't like that spot.
-
Here's something we know as believers. Ready, nothing in this
-
world works outside of a relationship with Christ. Nothing. Try
-
living a life without God and the center of it.
-
It will always lead to misery. It always grieves me.
-
At a funeral or something, when you know the family
-
or people they don't know Christ. Where's their hope, where
-
is it? So therefore we've got to help people come
-
to Christ, sir. If they're not measurable, well yet they
-
will be. Life throws curveballs at all of us. Come on,
-
let's be honest. Life can stink sometimes when you face
-
something you weren't expecting. The difference for us is we
-
have someone to run to who gives you peace and
-
helps you no matter what's going in the world or
-
turmoil or this set and the other negative three understanding
-
this is where you just start sharing simple truths and
-
you're testing because you've befriended them and you know them.
-
You're able to relate some of your life to where
-
they are with the truth of what God has done
-
for you. God wants to and you just share it. Look,
-
God's not interested in all your religious activity. He wants
-
relationship you just you. Just He wants relationship. You're pointing
-
them in this way. So there's understanding Negative one ready,
-
and I want to I'm going to challenge you. There
-
are people around you in your sphere of influence that
-
are ready right now. Y'all are quiet today. I said
-
there are people around you that are ready right now.
-
They really are you don't have to have every answer.
-
You just need to give them an invitation of some type,
-
something for Christ, some activity, your small group, whatever I encourage.
-
You have one or two miserable drowning people around your life,
-
family members, friends, neighbors, co workers, well, I don't know anybody.
-
Get out of your house and find some Go to
-
the health club, do this, join a sport, do something
-
where you befriend some people, and it gives you an opportunity.
-
Zero ground level. Here we go, new life in Christ,
-
salvation taking place. Now there's a tendency, especially in the
-
Bible belt area. Great, you've prayed to receive the law,
-
I'll see you in heaven, and we get out of
-
their life. You got a problem, go see the priature
-
and the priacher doesn't know the person. You know the person.
-
Often can you solve this? I go, you know the person,
-
you work with, the person, you minister to, the person,
-
you help them. So the first thing after Christ, they've
-
got to belong. They need to see that they belong.
-
That's next steps belonging to something. Make sure they belong
-
to the Body of Christ, the local church. Get connected
-
to something, get connected to a small group, something of
-
that nature. It's a process, and we went through that
-
last week. After they belong, They've got to grow, They've
-
got to discover the Word of God. Growing means you
-
finding out what God has for your life and who
-
you are in Christ, and how to overcome the devil,
-
how to be back tithes in the holy ghosts, and
-
how to tie and how to move forward, and how
-
to put your family together. So that's an ongoing process
-
your whole life. Would you agree, So growing you never
-
reach a place where you stop growing because life has
-
different stages all the way through, and each stage of
-
life takes a new place of growth to encompass that.
-
And where it really becomes a home run is when
-
suddenly they're serving. They're serving in the body of Christ.
-
They don't want to just take receive. Wa Wait, I
-
need to give, I need to part. That's even one
-
reason we're wanting to show you everything that you can
-
be a part of with our ministry. Fair God's blessing,
-
his provision, the way He speaks to you and moves
-
in your life. Most of it happens when you start
-
moving towards the thing that He has for you life
-
and you start doing something that changes the world and
-
requires sacrifice of your time, your energy, your focus, your talents,
-
your resources. Because you're serving and sudday it makes you
-
grow and it makes you come alive. And number four,
-
the big big home run is suddenly, now you're sharing.
-
You're a minister of righteousness, You're sharing real fulfillment. You're
-
doing this, this process with people for the rest of
-
your life. I ran into a lady this week and
-
tell I didn't know who she was, but she came
-
up to me and she just was almost sent tears
-
wanting to thank me and thank you because I sent
-
several of you to minister at First Christian Church several
-
months ago. And the pastor a good friend in my
-
local group. He gave our church the Sunday wandering service. Kathy,
-
how many Sundays four or five Sundays four and so
-
some different testimonies is looking for? So I sent four
-
or five of you, and you preached at their church,
-
Praise God, First Christian Church, and did the whole service.
-
And then did the youth say nervous And she said,
-
you know, when my pastors said he was going to
-
I didn't remember. She said, it was wonderful. It changed
-
my life it's making me think of others. Thank those people.
-
So I'm thanking all of you that participated in going
-
and preaching and sharing the love of Christ and your
-
testimony and what God has done. It changed that lady forever.
-
Look at this quote from Sam Williams. Evangelism is helping
-
people discover how God has already at worked in their life.
-
That's all it is, and helping people move. So I
-
encourage you write that down in your Bible somewhere to
-
help you. I know there's a tendency God to got
-
him to pray this prayer. I understand it's critical, it's important.
-
You've got to believe in, you've got to confess. But
-
it's a process very often, and it's an ongoing process,
-
even in us who would say we love the Lord
-
with all our heart. When God uses you to help
-
move them just a little bit, he soup. You have
-
to be aware how God is working in people's lives. Oy,
-
go to the next three points real fast, okay, number
-
two Number one, become aware Number two, Commit to prayer. Now,
-
this is very good right here. If I can say that,
-
I'm giving you five quick points with a scripture how
-
you can pray every day over that person that's driving
-
you crazy, well, hallelujah, that one that needs to get saved,
-
that one that needs to get baptized in on holigos,
-
the one that's critical and can't say anything but something negative.
-
This is what you need to do. Are you ready? Okay?
-
Pray that the Father would draw them to Jesus John
-
six forty four. Bring that verse up. No one can
-
come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them,
-
and I will raise them up at the last day.
-
Father draw them, draw them. So pray that. Number two.
-
Pray against the spirit that blinds their minds, because deceiving
-
spirit is in operation two Corinthians four to four. The
-
God of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers
-
so that they cannot see the light of the gospel
-
that displays the glory of Christ. He's the image of God.
-
I bind that off of them in Jesus name. Yes.
-
Number three, pray that they come to know God. Relationally
-
Romans eight fifteen. The spirit you receive does not make
-
you slave, so that you live in fear again. Rather,
-
the spirit you receive brought about your adoption to sonship, daughtership,
-
and by him. What are we gonna cry? Ah, b Father,
-
thank you Lord. They're gonna see that they're part of
-
the family, can be part of the family in Jesus' name.
-
Pray that believers will come across their paths and enter
-
into a positive relationship with them. That verse Matthew nine
-
thirty eight asks the Lord of the harvest therefore to
-
send out workers into his harvest. Feel this is so crucial.
-
So often you can't reach someone that's your own family.
-
Are you with me? So pray that that God will
-
bring someone around them that can reach them. Yeah, someone
-
that I someone cool, how about that not dripping with
-
religion and looks like they've been weaned on a deal pickle.
-
I mean, just someone loving and just caring and all that.
-
Got to do it. We've got to do it. And
-
then the last saying, pray for our revelation of who
-
Jesus is and what he has done for them. They
-
need a revelation of that. They need understanding Ephesians one seventeen.
-
I keep asking that God of our Lord, Jesus Christ
-
and Glorious Father, may give you the spirit of wisdom
-
revelation so that you may know him better. So there's
-
a great little plan for you. Five scriptures, five points
-
how to pray for those people and your loved ones,
-
and if you will just make that your focus. No,
-
Perry's on the front room. I'm thinking, Perry, you got saved?
-
How were you? Eight years old? She was the first
-
one in her family, her whole family, to get saved,
-
and she made it a priority because Don and Perry
-
and nine we were all friends in high school, praying
-
in her whole family into the Kingdom of God. And
-
all of them are saved. Now, okay, one sister a
-
little wayward, but the rest of them and then their
-
spouses and their children filled with the Holy Spirit. Because
-
she made it a focus. I'm going to see my
-
family saved, going to church by herself when she's eight
-
years old. Praise God. So here's a good little plan
-
to make that happen. We can do it in Jesus name. Amen,
-
So we become aware. Let's connect to them in prayer,
-
then show them you care. I know, kind of cheesy,
-
but all that rhymes. But anyway, that was last week.
-
We talked about that. Zach Kiss we little man, right,
-
Jesus just went to lunch with the dude come on,
-
how many of you can do lunch with a lost sinner? Yes,
-
she can't climb in a sycamore tree. Well, you might
-
be able to, but if it's low. Okay, Jesus just
-
went to lunch. Bring up those scriptures. It's going to
-
be in the Living Bible. I just love the way
-
it says Jesus. Passing through Jericho, a man named zach Kiss,
-
one of the most influential Jews in the Roman tax
-
collecting business, and of course a very rich man, tried
-
to get a look at Jesus. He's just too sharp
-
to see over the crowd, so he ran ahead and
-
climbed into a sycamore tree beside the road to watch.
-
When Jesus came by, he looked up as the Kiss
-
and called him by name. I think he had a
-
word of knowledge of his name. I don't think it
-
was a previous relationship with him. I think God just
-
spoke his name and he knew he was supposed to
-
reach out to him. Zach Kiss, he said, quick, come down,
-
for I am going to be a guest in your
-
home today. He hurried and climbed down and took Jesus
-
to his house in great excitement and joy. But the
-
Crials were displeased. All the religious people, he's going to
-
be a guest of ventatory center. Please, let's not gossip,
-
Let's not do stuff like that. Are you with me?
-
Let's just use speech to build up the Kingdom of God.
-
They all grumbled. Meanwhile, zach Kiss stood before the Lord
-
and said, because of the conviction, because of all this,
-
this process happened quick. And zach Kiss Sir, from now on,
-
I'll give half my wealth to the poor, and if
-
I have overcharged anyone on his taxes, I will penalize
-
myself by giving him back four times as much. Jesus
-
told him. This shows that salvation has come to this
-
house today. This man was one of the lost sons
-
of Abraham, and I the Messiah come to search for
-
and to save such souls as his in it. Awesome,
-
what a fabulous, fabulous story. So I believe we can
-
all eat And it's okay if you take a juicy
-
center out to lunch. And just what I mean by that?
-
They just look like the world, smell like the world,
-
act like the world, and you just love them. Why not?
-
What other Christians going to do? It? Just a thought
-
that was Jesus' evangelism style. First Corinthians nine, verses nineteen
-
through twenty three. Look at this. Though I am free
-
and belong to no man, I make myself a slave
-
to everyone to win as many as possible. I have
-
become all things to all men, so that by all
-
possible means taking them to lunch, golf, watch a basketball game,
-
fishing chocolate through that went out for my wife, whatever,
-
by all possible means I might save some. In other words,
-
they're not all going to receive the Lord, but some will.
-
I do all this for the sake of the Gospel
-
that I may share in its blessings. Become aware, commit
-
to prayer, show your care, and then just just be
-
ready to share. Be ready to share. You'll get an opportunity.
-
It will present itself as you stay consistent and steady
-
and you do this and you're loving them and you're
-
in their life and you're around them and you're serving them,
-
and so forth, it's going to happen. What do I do, then, Mark?
-
What do I do well? Lead them to Christ, Pray
-
with them. If you've never done it, you're not sure
-
what to do. Bring them to your small group, Bring
-
them to one of the things you're associated with the church,
-
or bring them to church, share your church. Just have
-
them come and sit with you. Hey, come to church.
-
It's kind of cool. You can bring your coffee inside.
-
How about that you don't have to wear fancy clothes.
-
You don't have to do that. Wear clothes, but you
-
don't have to wear fancy clothes. You'd be amazed how
-
that intimidates people that you're trying to reach. Sometimes I've
-
had them actually say I don't have fancy clothes, therefore
-
I won't come to your church. Is that the type
-
of image I want to portray to them? No, not
-
at all, Not at all. So they need to be
-
They need to know that they're welcome just like they are.
-
Have them sit with you, and when you see that
-
person's world change, you come alive. One Peter three, verse fifteen.
-
Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who
-
ask you to give the reason for the hope that
-
send you and acts twenty our last verse, Andrew, you
-
come on back up. The most important thing is that
-
I complete my mission, the work that the Lord Jesus
-
gave me. What is it to tell people the good
-
news about God's grace. That's what we do. We'll all
-
do it in different ways. It's different emphasis in our life,
-
different things we like to study, different books, we like
-
to read, different music we like to listen to. But
-
it needs to all deaftel back into this to see
-
the world, reach, to see the loved ones reach. So
-
let me ask a simple question. You enclose your Bible,
-
put things up. How many do you're aware of that person? Now? One? Two, five?
-
However many? But there is a person you know to
-
target in an intentional manner, just intentional with the relationship.
-
Let me see your hand. Okay, good, thank you. Hey,
-
your work is cut out for It's awesome. You've got
-
reason to get up every day and to be an
-
overcomer and to worship God and to read his word
-
and to be refreshed when you step out of your house. Wow,
-
such great purpose to know that you're God's answer for
-
someone you can't help but have a good day even
-
in the midst of the struggles you do have right now.
-
Everybody has struggles, Everyone has issues, Everyone has prayers that
-
they're still praying and believing God to be answered. Let
-
me just ask this, is there anyone here who has
-
every prayer answered, and you have no petition before God
-
and life is just grand one hundred percent. Can I
-
see your hand? Look around you has your hand up
-
because we're all in process. So let's step into the
-
purpose of God even more. And as you do it,
-
you look and go, well, wait, that's been answer. Well
-
look there that way where childs come back to the Lord,
-
because you're in the process of the Lord with every
-
head up and every eye open. Maybe you need Jesus
-
today and you're ready to surrender to him. Anyone just
-
wave your hand at me, want to pray with you.
-
Anybody you need Jesus, don't leave home without it. How
-
about that? Or you need to return to him. It'd
-
be our privilege to pray with you. Anyone didn't desire
-
the unfilling of the Holy Spirit power for your walk,
-
we would love to pray with you. To close the service. Amen,
-
let's stand all over. Thank you for listening. We hope
-
that you enjoy today's episode. Don't forget to share and
