Study 6: How Should We Witness 1?
Main Text: John 1: 40-46
Memory Verse: Mark 5: 19
Introduction
There are basically two forms of evangelism; Mass
evangelism is evangelism where many people are involved at the same time
(Crusade, Rally, Media etc.) and
Personal Evangelism. Indeed, we are interested in personal evangelism because
it takes only one person to do it and it involves no cost most of the times.
The call to evangelize is given to each one of us. Many sinners will not come to church,
therefore, we must go out to meet them where they are: in their houses,
offices, town or village square, civic centers, playgrounds, hospitals,
prisons, schools and marketplaces (Acts 20:20; 17:16-31; 16:20-34). These are
mostly natural places where we find ourselves and God will be gladdened when we
respond to the leading of the Holy Spirit to share the Gospel in these plases.
Discussion Questions
- In the main text, name the people who
personally testified about Jesus to others.
- When did Andrew found Peter, and
Philip found Nathaniel?
- How difficult or easy was it for
Andrew and Philip to present Jesus to Peter and Nathaniel respectively?
- In your view, what sacrifices did
Andrew and Philip make to get Peter and Nathaniel to Jesus?
- What was the content of Andrew’s and
Philip’s message?
- What lessons do you learn from Andrew
and Philip?
- What other means can you use to
evangelize?
Conclusion
You
have been led to Christ therefore lead others to Christ. In leading people to
Christ huge sacrifices are made. Andrew brought Peter, Philip brought
Nathaniel, and somebody brought you. It’s your turn to bring somebody to the
Lord Jesus. Who will you bring to the Lord? Is it your brother, friend or
spouse? The Lord is waiting.
