Methods of Evangelism

Because of Adams fall, death and sin is a part of life. However, because God loved us He sent His son Jesus in our place and Jesus died for our sins. Romans 5 vv. 1-2 says, “Therefore, since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ through whom we have obtained access” (Rom. 5:2 NRSV). When Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice for us, God discharged our sins and declared us righteous. According to Douglas Moo, “By

Moreover, he was crucified because of pardoning our sin. I know this stories about Jesus, but, at that time, Jesus existentially came to me as the incarnation. I realized that Jesus Christ is my lord but also sincere friend as he came down to Zacchaeus in the plan of God. This is my experience of and understanding God and God’s love.

When trying to understand what Evangelism I think D.T. Niles may have been close to the mark when he said “Christianity is one beggar telling another beggar where to find food”. Change the word Christianity to Evangelism, beggar to the sinner, and food to Jesus and I believe you have possibly the easiest way to explain Evangelism simply by saying “Evangelism is one sinner telling another sinner where to find Christ. However, over the past years Evangelism has been in my opinion misconstrued with many other Christian words and trends. For instance, I would be willing to bet that if you asked Christians what is the first thing that they think of when they hear the word Evangelism most would respond with the name of and Evangelist such as Billy Graham, Charles Stanley or even Joel Olsten. Of course the word Evangelist has had the same problem that the word Evangelism has had in regards to losing the true intended meaning of the world. It seems that Christians now days have forgotten that all born again believers are Evangelist, not just those who show up in a small town with a tent, a band, and a sign that says revival. Every soul that becomes saved becomes a messenger of the good news. In fact, I believe with all my heart this is the exact message the Jesus was trying to convey in his followers when he gave the great commissioning in Matthew 28:18-20 NIV 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make

It’s very difficult when we are in school to find the time to do what we love as disciples, which is to lead others to Christ. After working a full-time job I come home to do work for my company, Unique Expressions which is a promotional company. I met with a customer about four weeks about to do some flyers for his restaurant, once I completed them. He asked me a few weeks later to do a second flyer for his ministry called “Empowerment” he begin to tell me how he goes around the community and invite them in for a short message in the word, prayer and koinonia . This is not the nicest community but one where most of the lower working class resides.

Jesus Christ, God incarnate came to earth to save everyone from eternal damnation in hell. As humans, with Adam and Eve as our representatives in the Garden of Eden, they broke God’s one commandment, therefore allowing sin to come into the world. Because of this fall, we all deserve damnation, and because of the sin nature inside of us, everyone deserves to die and be eternally punished. However, because of the loving and gracious nature of God, He sent his only son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross to be our representative for sin. When he took the cross, not only did he bear the physical pain of the lashes, the dehydration, and the cross itself, but he also drank God’s cup of wrath for us. Everyone on earth deserves to be on that cross, but Jesus, through his great love for us, paid the ultimate price of his own life to save us.

He also served on the national board of Christians for Biblical Equality and served as associate pastor for Christian education at the First Baptist Church of Corvallis, Oregon. He was also the senior partner at Valley Psychological Center in Sacramento, California, staffed by several Christian psychologists and mental health professionals.

In conclusion, the interpretation of the Great Commission in the Christian context is to share the word of God through evangelism as defined outside the walls of the church and best understood before by discussing the nature of evangelism in Christianity. Building solid relational bridges based on trust and mutual respect will allow me to speak with love the truth of God in the life of a person without damaging the friendship. Relational evangelism begins with seeing people as Jesus does, spending time with them, having attitudes similar to Christ, and learning to communicate for people to understand. In the context of the authentic Christian community, everyday Christians experience the power of the Holy Spirit and bear fruit for the kingdom.

Evangelization track speak to me for a few reasons. Since Formation is the subset of Evangelization, one can never avoid addressing the formation part when sharing the good news. This means that both tracks will evidently point to the Doctrine of the Trinity, therefore, what can be highlighted in this section of Evangelization is ecclesiology and pneumatology. Moreover, depending on what each individual speaker has to offer, it would also be appropriate to address questions like: Why Redemption? Why Sanctification ? And, what is meant by the kingdom of God? This is to justify the basic reason of evangelism.

The “Confrontational” evangelistic method I chose to research is Evangelism Explosion. This method was started in the early 1960’s by James Kennedy, pastor at Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. “Evangelism Explosion is a ministry that trains people how to share their faith in Christ and how to bring people from unbelief to belief.” Groups of three, after initial

I stood on my balcony in one of those late afternoons in a warm summer weather gazing across the road, waiting for the other members of our family to return from work and school. A row of houses stretched along the entire road, with smaller alleys feeding the other rows behind the first and so on. On two of such occasions, I noted several children playing in the road, often running after each other, riding bicycles, hitting balls and skating. For most of these children came from the neighborhood both my side of the road and across, it was normal for them to play together. But I noted two children, and in particular, a girl aged around 8 and a boy of about 6, who remained isolated at their gate, perhaps fearing to

Why would God love us and forgive us if we have such sinful ways. They

Hey Angelique, I really enjoyed reading your post. I agree with you when you say that there are five truths to the evangelism in the early church. I agree with you because Dr. Wheeler stated each characteristic in appendix 2 that we read. I love how you say that the early church did not separate themselves from the unchurched people. That is very true, and we see that a lot of different churches today. For example, a Catholic church will separate themselves from a Baptist church simply because of their denomination. But we should never separate ourselves from any of God’s people because we all have one purpose on this earth and that is to glorify God. When you state that Jesus approach evangelism with straightforward honesty I will have to

The Romans Road is a evangelistic method that is simple and direct. This method is a road through the book of Romans that explains why we need salvation, how we can receive salvation and God provides Salvation. First Romans 3:23 says, “ For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” (KJV) Second Romans 6:23 says, “ For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Third, Romans 5:8 says, “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us” Fourth Romans 10:9 says, “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord”, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” Fifth Romans 5:1 says, “ Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. The sixth step is in Romans 8:1 says, “ Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus”. The final verse is Romans 8:38-39 which is “ For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.’’

Health evangelism is the good news that Jesus makes people healthier. Health evangelism is Christ centered evangelism integrated with a health program.
