A Disconnect Between The Pew And The Mundo

McRaney achieved to cover his purpose; the foundational elements, communication theories, and practical aids of personal evangelism. Also, appendixes are helpful to practice to personal testimonies, gospel illustrations, common objections, and more practical evangelism. (p. 235)

Using Stanley’s suggested approach to the sermon, the speaker should be able to apply his or her material to the audience in a way that not only keeps them engaged, but also equips them to implement a change in their behavior. Stanley accomplishes this with maximum efficiency by limiting himself to only one theme per sermon. This, he argues, ensures that the audience can fully understand and internalize the speaker’s message. Once the single point has been determined, it is then essential to build the rest of the talk around that one point, framing the entire persuasion in a way that the audience will easily remember (Stanley,

In this project, I will describe a scenario in which I am developing within my own ministry to engage people in helping them think theologically. The Church today is suffering greatly because many people are not engaged in Scripture, practicing spiritual disciplines, or thinking theologically. I hope to create a pattern to correct that and give them the ability to not just learn a little each week from a sermon, but take everything that comes at them and learn from it, while giving them the ability to teach others as well.

I think Church’s have major responsibilities to communicate the gospel message. We need to remember that it was God’s kindness that saved us. Church’s shouldn’t focus too much

Lord willing, these students then become Checking-Things-Out students, desiring and attentive to spiritual conversations and experiences. In these relationships, it is imperative to dig deeper, to answer questions, and to expose students to the gospel through lifestyle or stories of real faith. This open and attentive nature leads to the gospel message falling on good soil and, prayerfully, results in belief and commitment to Jesus Christ.

Throughout human history, our ancestors lived out the Christian faith in their generation. As a result, the faith passed down into their children’s generations, continuously reaching today’s generation. Then, our society changed from a primitive society to a modern society. With the invention of technology, it creates a new direction towards spreading the Gospel. While our ancestors spoke and wrote Gospel in church, my generation use technology to share the Gospel on social media and Bible apps. With the different styles of preaching the Gospel, how can we unite our generations to pursuit God’s purpose?

We can just be a testament to what beautiful blessings that we have received by being faithful to the word. Christians need to show the non-believers that there is good that comes out of having faith in the gospel. Once non-believers understand the word and how powerful it is sky’s the limit on the many blessing with one will

In a world that does not know the Gospel anymore, we must indulge in it, and love our fellow community though they may not share similar values, but find balancing in still remaining in our own values. Though many of times we find ourselves in opposition of the majority of the world, we must exude Christ love onto others as He does to us unconditionally. The author addresses ways in which we are able to live out our faith and still find a place within our community though they may not share similar values.

This article raises awareness of the historic value of open-air preaching, being seen as radical, in no way limits it to being a method utilized by such as Jesus Christ, Paul the Apostle, and in modern times Rev. Billy Graham. It is a great article for those that aspire to enter the ministry at the grassroots level and beyond.

1. Demonstrate God’s love and the gospel’s power impacting and transforming the lives of our Soldiers and their Families.

One of the ongoing struggles for the church and Christianity is with culture. Questions have always surfaced about where we should stand on issues or whether it is permissible to isolate ourselves in all areas of life. Shaping A Christian Worldview suggests that hiding is not the preferred option, rather it is our duty to transform our modern culture.

J. Daniel Baumann asserts that a preacher, therefore, should be a good craftsman, but never a mere technician. He should not devote too much time to form and too little to content, if a preacher studies the use of form as something apart from content, then he may become a rhetorician, an attractive speaker, but will turn out to be something less than a preacher of the gospel. God still intends for preaching to be a part of the church’s ministry (Hamilton).

Servant evangelism has proven to be the best method for my life. For instance, a neighbor became sick and had to stay in bed for a week. I offered to go to her house and clean and cook while she was disabled. As an unbeliever she was reluctant to talk about the Bible so I began talking about current events and how I looked at them as a Christian. About three days into the week she began asking me questions about my faith. I was able to unabashedly tell her the Gospel. She is now an active member of the church. At another time I repeatedly invited my daughter’s unsaved

Critique Questioning Evangelism, a book by Randy Newman about evangelism, was well written to present another way of sharing the gospel that can rejuvenate the witnessing process. The point of the book is to evaluate the way Christians are thinking and present them with new ways to think. Newman presented his material in a well and convincing way by providing examples and insights into sharing the gospel by questioning non-Christians. Multiple insights that Newman presented spiked my own interest and challenged me to apply these ideas to my own evangelistic journey.

This course has had a great impact on my walk with Christ as well as my witness for Christ. I pastor a church and teach two classes and for me I thought that I was doing plenty. However this course has helped rekindle my passion for sharing Jesus Christ with people through personal evangelism. This paper will demonstrate what I have learned throughout this course.
