Planting Seeds

Introduction

As Christians we exist on the earth for a few reasons, we exist of course to grow with God. We exist to do bible studies, pray, worship, and just spend time with God.

But Also we exist to Win Souls for the Lord through evangelism.

Men to be truly won must be won by truth.

Charles Spurgeon

If we seek to truly win souls for the Lord, we have to do it through the truth and in order to win them by the truth we have to ask ourselves what is the truth?

When we can’t explain the truth of God well, we hold back our ability to faithfully share the good news of Christ.

I have seen first hand the impact that evangelism can have on the lives of people throughout the world.

The methods of evangelism we are going to be talking about today weren’t created in the ivory tower, but on mission fields throughout the world.

Christian Standard Bible Chapter 17

32 When they heard about the resurrection of the dead, some began to ridicule him, but others said, “We’d like to hear from you again about this.” 33 So Paul left their presence. 34 However, some people joined him and believed, including Dionysius the Areopagite, a woman named Damaris, and others with them.

#1 There are only 3 Real Possibilities When Sharing

Some Ridiculed it

Some were interested in it

Some Believed it

But as a believer our job is simply to plant the seeds.

When we plant seeds it is so important for us to understand the seed we plant. When farmers plant seeds, they know more than just to water it right?

They plant it at a certain time of year, with a certain type of soil, and pick it at a certain time

This same principle applies when we plant the seed of Christ in someone’s life.

When we plant the seed of Christ, we need to how the seed works

Knowing how the seed of the gospel works is crucial. Can anyone explain the gospel to me?

John 3:16 CSB

16 For God loved the world in this way: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.
