WHY ARE WE NOT PREACHING THE GOSPEL?

Main Text: Jonah 1:1-3; 4:1-3

Memory Verse: 2 Peter 3:9 “The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance”.

Introduction

Though we know many reasons why we should share the gospel, unfortunately, however, many people do not share the Gospel. We give many excuses for not witnessing about Jesus. Jonah is an example of a man who was given the Gospel but refused to share it. When he repented, God spared his life so he could go and witness.  May his life challenge us to rise from our “slumber” and go out to share the good news of Jesus Christ. You can pause and ask yourself, “when was the when was the last time I shared Christ with somebody”? What excuses are you giving?

Discussion Questions

1. Who was Jonah and what was the message he was given?

2. How is the wickedness of Nineveh similar to our world? Verse 2

3. Why did Jonah decide not to go to Nineveh? 4: 2-3

4. What excuses do we give for not responding to God’s call to witness?

5. What are the consequences of refusing to share the gospel? Ez. 3:17-21; Mark 8:38; Daniel 12:3.

6. How is the kingdom of God affected by your refusal to share the Gospel?

Conclusion

Jonah’s decision to flee instead of sharing the gospel affected so many people. The implication of neglecting to evangelize includes; the loss and waste of ripened harvest, requirement of sinners’ blood from negligent soul winners, loss of soul winners’ reward, spiritual decline and stunted growth of the local churches, and delay in answer to prayer. Every believer must therefore wake up to this great responsibility of sharing the Gospel. NO EXCUSES.

WHAT IS THE MESSAGE OF THE GOSPEL?

Main Text: 1 Corinthians 15:1-4

Memory Verse: John 14:6 “Jesus answered, I am the way and the truth and the life. No-one comes to the Father except through me”

Introduction

One of the excuses believers give for not sharing the gospel is “I don’t know what to say”. The word “gospel” means good news, and it is best defined as the message of forgiveness of sin through the atoning work of Jesus Christ. It is essentially God’s rescue plan of redemption for those who will trust in His divine Son in order to be reconciled to a just and holy God. The essential content of this saving message is clearly laid out for us in the Bible. Essentially, the Gospel message is made up of Man’s sinfulness, God’s redemption through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the free invitation to all who believe and the promise of eternal life (John 3:16).

Discussion Questions

1. What is the condition of all people? Rom. 3:23

2. What is the punishment for our sins? Rom. 6:23

3. What motivated Jesus’ coming to earth? John 3:16

4. What did Jesus do for us with respect to our sins? Verse 3

5. What qualified Jesus to die for us? 1 Peter 2:21-24

6. What happened to Jesus after three days? Verse 4

7. What must ALL do to be saved? John 1:12; 3:16; Acts 16:31

Conclusion

To be saved, one must Admit that he is a sinner, Believe that Jesus died on the Cross and Confess Jesus as Lord and Savior by inviting Jesus into the heart. This is the message we are to send to the world and to all people. It is not a complex message but a simple one. Jesus has promised to be with you in the presentation of this Gospel. You are not alone.

STEWARDS OF THE GOSPEL – Why Should We Evangelize?

Main Text: Matt 28:18-20

Memory Verse: 1 Cor. 4:1 “This is how one should regard us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God”

Introduction

From today’s reading, it is obvious that the Lord Jesus deliberately committed the preaching of the gospel and the discipling of nations to his followers. Therefore every believer by the nature of his calling is a steward of the gospel. Every other Christian activity should be driven by this duty to reach every person with the gospel of Jesus. Being a steward of the gospel denotes, experiencing the new birth for oneself, living the Christ like life, understanding the message of Jesus Christ and seeking at every opportunity to spread that message.

Discussion questions

1. What is the gospel?

2. From today’s text, what did the Lord charge his disciples to do? Matt 28:19

3. Who are stewards of the mysteries of God? 1 Cor 4:1 Discuss

4. What does it mean to walk worthy of the gospel? Eph. 4:25-32

5. How many souls have you won for Christ this year?

Conclusion

Being a steward of the Gospel means that God has made us an exhibition of what the Gospel can do in transforming lives. As a result, we should live the gospel in our homes, workplaces, in our marriages and everywhere we go. The fragrance of the gospel should be felt around us to draw souls into the Kingdom.

QUALITIES OF A STEWARD – Faithfulness

Main Text: Matthew 24:3-14, 36-50

Memory Verse: “Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful”. 1 Corinthians 4:2 (NIV).

Introduction

There are good stewards and there are also bad stewards. To be a good steward is a requirement for every Christian. What distinguish them are the qualities that they demonstrate. One of the qualities of a good steward is faithfulness. God has entrusted us with life, positions, children, opportunities, time, business, health and spiritual gifts. This list could go on and on. God expects us to be good care- takers of all the resources he has given. One ingredient we need to handle these resources is faithfulness. To be faithful means being loyal and holding on to the teaching and practices of the master no matter the circumstances. The love of money, the desire of material possession and lust are deeds of unfaithfulness.

Discussion Questions

1. What is faithfulness? Verse 13

2. How would you know that one is faithful?

3. What are the deeds of unfaithfulness? Verse 10

4. What are the current threats to our faithfulness? Verses: 4-7, 9.

5. What is the ultimate reward of being faithful? Verse: 13.

6. How can you remain faithful?

Conclusion

God desires that we remain faithful stewards unto the end. The Bible clearly indicates that in the last days many believers will turn away from the faith. It means that, some stewards would be found wanting on the Day of Judgment. Our faithfulness must impart others in our community, the assembly where we worship and at our place of work. When we are faithful we do not only please our Lord but even the people around us as well. Being faithful does not mean one does not sin. Rather as faithful stewards, we accept your sin, confess it and repent. A faithful steward is faithful in all he/she does; faithful in tithing, in giving, in paying debt, in handling money and in relationship.
