FALL 2009: FRIENDSHIP AND LIFESTYLE EVANGELISM
In this four-week series we will exploring the issue of witness or Friendship and Lifestyle Evangelism. We are entitling it – Passing out Cold Cups of Water. Why? Because we are not into coercion but giving away the drink that quenched our thirst. His name is Jesus and He is the Living Water.
Jesus passed on many teachings to His followers. We would imagine that His last words would be some of the most important. Acts 1:8 is a summary of that last declaration – “you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you to be my witnesses.” After loving God and people (the Great Commandment) comes our call to connect people to that same love of God (the Great Commission). We partner with the Holy Spirit by pointing to God through witness.
However, if we are all honest, it is often a daunting task. Our pluralistic society frowns on it. Our own fears or lack of training seem to constrict us. And we have an enemy of our soul, and the soul of others, who will do anything to keep us from this lifestyle.
Come explore with us how to sharpen our witness.
