FIVE FALSE CHOICES ABOUT EVANGELISM

Click here to listen to this sermon.

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]
