Mission Possible 3
Ill
A priest, a Pentecostal preacher, and a Rabbi, all served as chaplains to the students of Northern Michigan University in Marquette.
They would get together two or three times a week for coffee and to talk shop.
One day, someone made the comment that preaching to people isn't really all that hard.
A real challenge would be to preach to a bear.
One thing led to another and they decided to do an experiment.
They would all go out into the woods, find a bear, preach to it, and attempt to convert it.
Seven days later, they're all together to discuss the experience.
Father Flannery, who has his arm in a sling, is on crutches, and has various bandages, goes first.
"Well," he says, "I went into the woods to find me a bear.
And when I found him I began to read to him from the Catechism.
Well, that bear wanted nothing to do with me and began to slap me around.
So I quickly grabbed my holy water, sprinkled him and, Holy Mary Mother of God, he became as gentle a lamb.
The bishop is coming out next week to give him first communion and confirmation."
Reverend Billy Bob spoke next.
He was in a wheelchair, with an arm and both legs in casts, and an IV drip.
In his best fire and brimstone oratory he claimed, "WELL brothers, you KNOW that we don't sprinkle!
I went out and I FOUND me a bear.
And then I began to read to my bear from God's HOLY WORD!
But that bear wanted nothing to do with me.
So I took HOLD of him and we began to wrestle.
We wrestled down one hill, UP another and DOWN another until we came to a creek.
So I quick DUNKED him and BAPTIZED his hairy soul.
And just like you said, he became as gentle as a lamb.
We spent the rest of the day praising Jesus."
They both looked down at the rabbi, who was lying in a hospital bed.
He was in a body cast, and traction, with IV's and monitors running in and out of him.
He was in bad shape.
The rabbi looks up and says, "Looking back on it, circumcision may not have been the best way to start..."
Intro
Today is part 3 of of our Mission possible series.
So far we covered the Why of evangelism.
I hope everyone realizes it is absolutely necessary to every believer to be actively making disciples
Right?
So today We are getting into the Who and and How?
Now last week I spoke a little on How, and over the next few months we will get deeper into developing the gifts of the Spirit for the purpose of making disciples.
Today I want to get you started so you don’t have to wait months
When the Holy Spirit comes upon us we receive Power to be His witnesses
What is a witness?
one who has personal knowledge of something
So who are are we to be witnesses to?
WHO?
Jerusalem Judea and Samaria, and the remotest parts of the earth
Map
Jerusalem - their immediate vacinity
Start with the people you know
it doesn’t have to begin with strangers doing street ministry.
that’s the work of the evangelist
People in your circle of influence
Judea and Samaria
Judea was the southern Kingdom where Jerusalem was located,
Samaria was part of the Northern Kingdom
After the Northern Kingdom of Israel fell to the Assyrians in 720 BC, it was renamed Shomron or Samaria.
The Southern Kingdom of Yehudah (Judah) had a name change, as well.
During the Hellenistic and Roman periods, it was called Judea.
Samaria includes land that was originally a part of the inheritance belonging to the tribes of Manasseh and Ephraim,
and Judea encompasses territory allocated to the tribes of Benjamin and Judah.
When Jesus spoke these words Judah and Samaria did not get along
Even though they were brothers they had been politically separated for many hundreds of years
This is evident in
Jesus Asks a Samaritan woman for a drink of water
John 4:
Jesus then goes on to tell here
incidently
John 4:39-
Although there were many foreigner in Samaria, many were still their extended family
Extend your circle out.
Start reaching the socially unaccepted
maybe even those who believe very different from you.
and even to the remotest part of the earth
Everybody else
short term missions
supporting our missionaries
Pray and Ask God who He has plans for you to witness too
Family Member, Neighbor, coworker, Friend etc
HOW?
1) Pray
Pray for their softened hearts
Prayer to recognize opportunity to share God’s Love
Prayer for words of Knowledge and prophesies
:29
2) Look to create opportunity
How we talk
How was your weekend?
Nothing really happened.
Instead why not say
“I went to Church on Sunday, God really touched me, I could feel His presence and it sure encouraged me.
Then the pastor shared on how I could hear God better and it worked, I really heard God speak to me.
How was your weekend?
That’s making an opportunity....
Also how we talk about Church.
Hey you want to go to home show on Sunday.
No I can’t.
I have to go to Church!
If you Have to go, why would they want to
Instead I get to go to church so.....
The key to effective evangelism is though relationships
start by doing good to them
People are starving for relationships.
social media is a poor substitute for relationships
