Evangelism & Witness

Teaching points

  • Evangelism is not a program — it is a lifestyle. Every believer is a witness, whether they plan to be or not.
  • Your personal testimony is the most powerful evangelism tool you have. It cannot be argued with.
  • The Bridge illustration provides a clear visual of the Gospel. Master it so you can share it anywhere.
  • Evangelism must be contextualized — the message never changes, but the methods must meet people where they are.
  • Relationship precedes proclamation. Earn the right to share by earning the relationship first.

Read in Scripture

  • Acts 1:8
  • Romans 1:16
  • 1 Corinthians 9:19-23
  • 2 Corinthians 5:18-20
  • Matthew 28:18-20

Reflect

  • When was the last time you shared your faith with someone who doesn't know Jesus?
  • Can you clearly and compellingly share your testimony in 2 minutes?
  • What holds you back from evangelism — fear, preparation, or opportunity?
  • How can you make evangelism a daily rhythm, not a special event?

Put it into practice

  • Write out your 2-minute testimony: before Christ, the moment of encounter, and after Christ.
  • Share your faith with one person this week — even if it's just an invitation.
  • Pray daily for three people who don't know Jesus.
