Evangelism Two

Fulfilling the Dominical Commission in Matthew 28:18-20, we are called to make disciples of all nations through baptism and teaching. The Gospel is our means of salvation, as stated in Isaiah 55. Salvation comes through faith in the power of God's Gospel according to Romans 1:16-17. Just as the sower in Matthew 13, we must sow the seeds of the Gospel on good soil. Luke 14 teaches us to compel others through the Gospel. The book of Acts shows the results of the Gospel's spread, emphasizing the importance of continuing its message. Join us in spreading the Gospel and fulfilling the Great Commission!

  18. God is not satisfied with… Look up….Luke 5:4-11 Look up….Luke 14:15-23 Look up….Matthew 13:3-9 Look up….Luke13: 6-9 Look up….Matthew 18:11-14

  19. God is not satisfied with… Look up….Luke 15:8-10 Look up….Matthew 9:36-38 Look up….Matthew 10:14 The Lord God wants all people saved, but all people have the power to reject Christ, to refuse to listen, and there will be no growing churches as it was when Noah preached faithfully to his generation. Some pastors wear non-growing churches as badges of honor. Truth be known however, in some cases the pastors never even talk about reaching the lost in their communities, or the church does not want to be true to the Dominical Commission. Pd

  26. The Good News 3 This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4 who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all men—the testimony given in its proper time. 7 And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle—I am telling the truth, I am not lying—and a teacher of the true faith to the Gentiles.

Four percent say they are Jewish, four percent are associated with an Eastern religion, and 24 percent say they are atheist." 3. One out of every three adults (33 percent) is classified as unchurched--meaning they have not attended a religious service of any type during the past six months. 4. The aggregate adult population of unchurched is staggering. How many in America are Lost?

  29. 5.An estimated 73 million adults are presently unchurched. 6. When teens and children are added, the total swells to roughly 100 million Americans. "Since 1991, the adult population in the United States has grown by 15 percent. During that same period the number of adults who do not attend church has nearly doubled, rising from 39 million to 75 million--a 92 percent increase." "In America, it takes the combined effort of eighty-five Christians working over an entire year to produce one convert." How many in America are Lost?

The word ‘shall’ in Greek is a jussive. That is a verbal grammatical mood. It carries with it a future action with present intent. For example,
