2012 NOVEMBER WEEK ONE LESSON


Study 3-Why should we Witness to the Unsaved?
Main Text: Luke 16:19-31
Memory Verse: 1 Cor. 9:16
Introduction:  
Witnessing is a compelling command to every believer. It is not the will of God that anyone should perish: He wants all men to be saved. The Lord Jesus Christ was not only involved in evangelism but also sent out His disciples to do so. They were to preach to every human everywhere. Paul the apostle said, “For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!  (1 Corinthians 9:16). To him, witnessing is more important than any other thing in the world.
