← CPI: Biblical Principles of Church Planting

ETS ACADEMY · LESSON 3

Evangelistic Models in the New Testament

Teaching points

  • The chapter follows the beginnings of congregations in Acts. Compare the people, settings, and responses rather than assuming every setting calls for an identical method.
  • Read the assigned pages in the original workbook. Use the Scripture references to examine the teaching before answering the reflection and knowledge check.

Read in Scripture

  • Acts 8:4–8
  • Acts 16:13–15
  • Acts 17:16–34

Reflect

  • How did the setting shape the way people heard the gospel?
  • What does the passage teach, and what is one question you want to explore with a mentor?

Put it into practice

  • Compare two accounts in Acts and note one implication for listening to your own community.
