SUBJECT: Evangelism

TITLE: “Come and See”

PROPOSITION: When talking to others about the gospel, what do you tell them? One very simple thing to say is “come and see.” Come and see 1) The works of God, 2) The Glory of God, 3) The Son of God, and 4) The people of God.

OBJECTIVES: Each listener should be able to walk away from the lesson with something to say to someone about the gospel.

Aim: To help everyone be more confident in evangelism.

INTRODUCTION:

1. Read: John 1:43-46

THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT
Acting Like Our Father (Love Your Enemies)
Matthew 5:43-48

INTRODUCTION:

A. When Jesus spoke about “Responding To Evil”, He laid down two principles:

1. Do not resist an evil person (Mt. 5:39a)

2. Respond to evil by doing good (Mt. 5:39b-42)

There was a mighty king in a faraway land. He was an uncommonly good king. He was good to his people. One might even say that he sacrificed for their well-being. The citizens of that land bowed to the king and felt themselves fortunate to have such a good man to rule over them. It […]

In Luke 12:47, 48 at the conclusion of the parable of the faithful steward, Jesus said, “And that servant, which knew his lord’s will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.  But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.”

Sermon on the Pre-existence of Christ INTRODUCTION: A. Jesus Christ did not begin to exist when He was born in Bethlehem, nor even when He was conceived within the virgin, Mary. B. Scripture teaches that Jesus Christ, unlike us, existed long before His conception and birth. 1. This is not just an intellectual point or […]

I do not know what the specific reason was that the Holy Spirit forbade and did not permit Paul, Silas, and Timothy to preach in these locations. The Bible does not say other than that God wanted them to go into Macedonia and preach there. It may have been as simple as that. However, God sometimes says “No,” even to good things that we desire to do, and we can learn some lessons from this. Let’s look at a few examples in the Bible where God said “no.”

There are other things, however, to which a person may be addicted. One may be addicted to his job. We call these people workaholics. A person may be addicted to talking or anger. Pornography is a great addiction for many. In his book, Removing Emotional Pain, Ron Wilkins lists the top ten addictions of his time. They are in order: 1) anger, 2) talking, 3) sex, 4) food, 5) tobacco, 6) alcohol, 7) drugs, 8) stealing, 9) gambling, and 10) work. We could probably add “electronics” to this list today.

INTRODUCTION:

1. Worship is the response of all that man is to all that God is and does.

1) We do not worship for what we can get out of it, but because God is worthy of it.

2) However, true worship to God does lead to personal enrichment and enablement – the kind of strength that helps the Christian bear the burdens and fight the battles of life.

2. In our study of “True Worship” we have defined it, described it, and have shown what false worship is.

3. We will now begin to discover what true worship to God is by noticing three of its characteristics found in John 4:20-24…

Sermon on Loving God – Sermon outline by Tom Moore on the matter of loving God according to Mark 12 28-31.

Sermon on King David – This sermon considers the background leading up to the reign of King David. From Eli through both Samuel and Saul

INTRODUCTION:

1. What can be more precious in the eyes of a father than his daughter?

1) Daughters are indeed a blessing from the Father.

2) They are a mirror of the beauty of the mother.

2. To watch a daughter grow is a rare privilege.

1) A father can have an effect on many generations through that daughter. “The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.”

2) She can bring you a lifetime of joy.

3. On the other hand…

1) She can make choices that may bring you and your house to utter ruin.

2) Many runaways run from good families.

3) If she makes the wrong choices she may ruin generation in the future. “The hand…”

In this lesson, we will think about the song, “Ye Are the Light of the World.” For Christians to be the light of the world there are some things that they must 1) Avoid, 2) Act, and 3) Adore. Each should understand that he has an influence to use for good. Each Christian should be more cognizant of his example to others in both word and deed.

One could also say that while God allows misfortune and is present when it occurs, that He never abandons His child, that misfortune brings people back to Him, and that ultimately God works to redeem them from the idols in their life (Romans 8:28).

Sermon on Brotherly Love INTRODUCTION: A. The changing power of the gospel is very evident when you look at the lives of the first century Christians 1. Justin Martyr wrote, “We used to value above all else money and possessions. Now we bring together all that we have and share it with those who are […]

Sermon on the Occult — Sermon outline by Tom Moore on the occult and paranormal and those things that are like them.

Introduction:

1. Often, people are “shocked” when we state, “We’re not under the old Testament law.”

2. Some, in misunderstand, have said: “You folks don’t believe the Old Testament?”

3. The shock and the misunderstanding rests in a failure of men to understand what it is to rightly divide the Word of God (2 Tim. 2:15).

INTRODUCTION:

A. If I were to tell you that I had no human biological father, would you believe me?

1. The Bible makes exactly that claim for Jesus of Nazareth.

2. Some people respond with disbelief, even as they do with other Bible miracles.

B. We need to be ready (prepared & willing) to offer a good defense, because this is not merely an academic question.

1. It goes to the heart of who Jesus is […]
