RESTORATION TODAY
SUNDAY 9TH APRIL 2017
BY PASTOR DR. G.O. OLUTOLA JP.
THEME: THE HEART OF THE GOSPEL.
But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumbling block, and unto the Greeks foolishness; But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. 1Corinthians 1: 23 - 24.
Any evangelism that fails to mention the crucifixion lacks power. We must not soften the gospel so it seems more inviting to the sinners. The plain truth is, Jesus Christ died for our sins.
To witness effectively, we must confront unbelievers with their sin debt and explain that Jesus gave His lie to pay it in full. Preaching the gospel should contain three points: a description of who Jesus is, an explanation of God?s only plan of salvation, and what a person must believe and do in order to receive Christ.
New believers begin their spiritual journey much wiser if they know the source of their salvation. Think about the words you use to spread the gospel. Those with whom you have opportunity to share may know little about Jesus you might be the only person in their life with any real biblical knowledge. Before going on evangelism, pray and then prepare a message focused on the cross. Then go out and make disciples of Christ!
ACTION POINTS
Effective evangelism points sinners to their sins and to the full payment of Christ on the cross of Calvary.
SCRIPTURE:
1 Corinthians 1: 22 - 24.
PRAYER POINTS:
1. Father, I receive the boldness to share the gospel in the name of Jesus.
2. Father, make me an effective evangelist in the name of Jesus.
3. O Lord, let me see many souls come to Christ through my evangelism in the name of Jesus.
DAILY BIBLE READING:
Leviticus 15
Psalm 119: 73 - 112
Mark 6: 30 - 56.
