INTRODUCTION:

Can you believe that we are already in the month of March? I am loving, Seeing and hearing testimonies of the miracle and the good things that God is doing in and through you and His church. (Remember we are His church)

1 Corinthians 12:12–13 NKJV

12 For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ. 13 For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and have all been made to drink into one Spirit.

Remember our word for this year is ACTIVATED. We have been activated to do the will of the Father. Jesus did it, so should we.

The last time I shared, I was teaching on following His example, Jesus told us to go into all the world, so we should go - reach out (as we walk out the doors remember we are entering our mission field).

Matthew 10:1 NKJV

1 And when He had called His twelve disciples to Him, He gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease.

Matthew 9:35–38 NKJV

35 Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. 36 But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. 37 Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. 38 Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.”

LOVE GOD,

LOVE PEOPLE,

DO LIFE TOGETHER

CONNECT LIFE

POINT 1

STIR IT UP IN YOU

2 Timothy 1:5–7 NKJV

5 when I call to remembrance the genuine faith that is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded is in you also. 6 Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands. 7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

POINT 2

CALL IT OUT OF YOU

Evangelism Tips

● Love God love people

● Be real

● Go out of your way to build relationships

● Listen to the Holy Spirit

● Pray for your family and friends

● Actions speak louder then words

● Be Jesus to people

Overcoming your fears

● Common fears you may have when wanting to evangelise;

● Afraid of rejection; Afraid of what others may think; Afraid to share your faith at work; You may think you don’t know enough of the bible; You maybe scared that you will loose relationships with friends and family.

● Romans 8:31 “If God is for us how can be against us”.

Romans 8:31 NKJV

31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

● Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”.

Philippians 4:13 NKJV

13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

POINT 3

BE A DOER OF THE WORD

James 1:22–25 NLT

22 But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. 23 For if you listen to the word and don’t obey, it is like glancing at your face in a mirror. 24 You see yourself, walk away, and forget what you look like. 25 But if you look carefully into the perfect law that sets you free, and if you do what it says and don’t forget what you heard, then God will bless you for doing it.

Point 4

JESUS IS OUR POWER SOURCE

● Jesus is our power source to overcome our fears.

● John 10:10 “I have come to give you life”.

John 10:10 NKJV

10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

● John 6:44 “Unless the Father who sent Me draws him”.

John 6:44 NKJV

44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.

CONCLUSION:

As we come to the end of this part of our service we covered how we can follow His example, we have been commissioned to go and we need to reach out to the lost. The bible tells us in:

STIR IT UP IN YOU

CALL IT OUT OF YOU

BE A DOER OF THE WORD

JESUS IS OUR POWER SOURCE
