Is your faith big enough to share? Though believers are to share the message of Jesus with others, evangelism can cause some people much anxiety. Paul encourages a two-pronged approach:

1. Evangelists should be bold.

2. The rest of us should be questionable.

A questionable Christian lives an intriguing and surprising life that spurs questions about our life. The answer to those questions is Jesus.

The Sent Ones

November 3, 2024 • Greg Burdine • Matthew 5:14–16, Matthew 10:7–8

Every believer is a "trailer" for the world to come. We are sent to present others with a glimpse of Heaven. What will the reign of Jesus be like? 1. Reconciliation is at the heart of Jesus' reign. 2. Justice characterizes Jesus' reign. 3. Wholeness demonstrates Jesus' reign. We are sent into the world to alert others to the reign of Jesus.

The Answer Is Always Jesus

October 27, 2024 • Greg Burdine • Romans 1:1–5, Acts 13:16–39

Have you ever been in a situation where you were called on but didn't have an answer? Believers can find himself in conversations that might not be obvious what to say. Here are a few things to keep in mind when considering how to answer people... 1. Tell about Jesus. Don't preach the Gospel. 2. Focus on Jesus. Don't focus on sin. 3. Focus on Purpose. Don't focus on church. Keep your conversations bent toward Jesus to be a good witness. Jesus is the answer to all the world's questions.
