  1. RELATIONSHIPS AND MINISTRY

  2. ACTS 5:32 “And we are His witnesses of these things.” We Say: I will witness by example. Someone else can do the talking and visiting. Some will be a partner in the visit and not the one who talks.

  3. FEAR. . . • Destroys our trust in God • Destroys our self-confidence (given to us by God as we depend on Him) • Fosters apprehensions---no basis for them to exist

  4. WHAT ARE WE AFRAID OF? • Won’t know what to say • We will do a “bad” job • The unknown. . . What is lurking • Rejection

  5. God Does Not Want You To Be Afraid . . . “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” II Timothy 1:7 “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But He who fears has not been made perfect in love.” I John 4:18

  6. Promises . . . “Do not be afraid, but speak, and do not keep silent; for I am with you. . .” Acts 18:9 “The Lord is on my side; I will not fear; what can man do to me?” Psalms 118:6

  7. “If God be for us, who can be against us?” - Romans 8:31 “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled neither let it be afraid.” - John 14:27

  8. ACT . . . • A Ask in the morning for strength • C Claim the strength all day • T Thank God for the strength at night

  9. JESUS’ METHOD OF SUCCESS (5 Steps) “Christ’s method alone will give true success in reaching the people. The Savior mingled with men as one who desired their good. He showed His sympathy for them, ministered to their needs, and won their confidence. Then He bade them, ‘Follow me’.” Ministry of Healing 143

  10. FOLLOW JESUS’ EXAMPLE “Your success will not depend so much upon your knowledge and accomplishments, as upon your ability to find your way to the heart. By being social and coming close to people, you may turn the current of their thoughts more readily than by the most able discourse.” Gospel Workers, 193

  11. The Example of Jesus • He went to the people and met them on their own “turf” • Jesus looked for opportunities • to direct people to a better life • now and to spiritual things.
