EVANGELISM BIBLE STUDY

SCRIPTURE

New Living Translation Chapter 1

40 Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of these men who heard what John said and then followed Jesus. 41 Andrew went to find his brother, Simon, and told him, “We have found the Messiah” (which means “Christ”)

IT’S BEEN 400 YEARS SINCE MALACHI WROTE HIS LAST SENTENCE AND GOD HAS NOT SPOKEN SINCE. IT’S JUST BEEN DISCOVERED THAT JESUS THE ANTICIPATED MESSIAH ACCORDING TO DEUTERONOMY 18:15 ) HAS POOPED UP ON THE SCENE.

HE STOPED BY HIS COUSIN JOHN THE BAPTIST MINISTRY AT THE JORDAN RIVER BEFORE HEADING TO GALILEE

AND AT JOH’S BAPTISM JOHN DECLARED JESUS TO BE THE LAMB OF GOD WHO WOULD TAKE AWAY THE SINS OF THE WORLD ACCORDING TO JOHN 1:29) AND JOHN SAID MANY OTHER WORDS AFFIRMING JESUS AS THE MESIAH

AND ONE OF THE WITNESSES TO JOHN’S WORDS WAS A MAN NAMED ANDREW AND ACCORDING TO VS 40-42 ANDREW WENT AND FOUND HIS BROTHER PETER AND TOLD HIM WE THE MESSIAH WHICH MEANS (ANOINTED ONE)

AND FROM THIS EVENT I WANT TO GIVE YOU FOUR STEPS TO SHARING YOUR FAITH AND LEADING SOMEONE TO CHRIST

RAPOR

DON’T JUST GO RIGHT IN , BUT BUILD RAPOR WHETER YOU KFNOW THE PERSON OR NOT. (THAT PREVENTS DEFENSES FROM GOING UP. TALK ABOUT A CURRENT EVENT. JESUS POPING UP ON THE SCENE WAS A CURRENT EVENT. IF THEY HAD TWITTER, TWITTER WOULD’VE BEEN BLOWING UP. FIND SOME CURRENT EVENT TO SEGWAY. LIKE TROPICAL STORM IDALIA THAT’S HEADED TO FLORIDA.

FROM THAT YOU CAN ASK WHAT’S THERE TAKE ON DEATH (WE ARE INUNDATED WITH DEATH RIGHT NOW IT IS ABSOLUTELY MON THE FLOOR)

YOU WANT THEM TO GIVE YOU A RESPONSE

LISTEN TO WHAT THEY SAY AND WHAT THEY DON’T SAY...

END THIS LEG OF THE CONVERSATION WITH QUOTE FROM HEBREWS 9:27) WE ALL HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH DEATH AND THEN WITH GOD FOR THE WAY WE’VE LIVED

ASK THEM DID THEY KNOW THAT

RESEARCH

YOU WANNA ASK A PIVITO QUESTION IN TWO PARTS AND THIS SHOULD LET YOU KNOW WHERE THEY STAND

YOU WANNA ASK THEM: “WHAT’S THERE SPIRITUAL BELIEF” 9 TIMES OUT OF TEN THEY WILL NEED YOU TO EXPAIN.. YOU WILL THEN SIMPLIFY THE QUESION THIS WAY

WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE ABOUT GOD? AND IF WHAT YOU BELIEVE ISN’T TRUE DO YOU WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH? NOW AT THIS POINT YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE WHAT YOU ARE WANTING THEM TO BELIEVE, AND THEY MUST SENCE IT. YOUR EXCITEMENT ABOUT WHAT YOU MWANT TO TELL THEM HAS TO BE LIKE THAT OF YOU FINDING OUT THAT NEMON MARCUS IS HAVING A 75% OFF SALE. YOUR EXCITEMENT AND YOUR ENTHUSIASM PULLS THEM IN.

QUICK HINT 9 TIMES OUT OF TEN THEY WON’T KNOW WHAT THEY BELIEF OR THEY WILL BELIEVE THE WRONG INFORMATION OR THEY BELIEVE IN ANOTHER RELIGION.

AS FAR AS THE QUESTIONS YOU JUST ASKED THEM GET READY TO ANSWER. YOU CAN USE JOHN 1:29-34) AS A REFERENCE TO STATE THAT JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD THE ANOINTED ONE AND THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD. EMPHASIZE THAT HE CAME TO TAKE AWAY THE SINS OF THE WORLD

SHARE A LITTLE BIT OF YOUR SALVATION EXPERIENCE BUT KEE[P THE FOCUS ON HIM

REACTION

PAY ATTENTION TO HOW THEY RESPOND OR ARE WRESTLING WITH THE GREAT NEWS YOU JST GAVE THEM
