Evangelism

Evangelism serves the building of the Church, and the building of the Church provides the foundation for witnessing to the Kingdom of God in all of life, and such witness fulfills our created purpose as image-bearers of God in His world.

God sends us out. Sometimes we can be surprised about who He sends us to. 

Prayer was the starting place for this Coffee Break group to reach others for Jesus. 

This list is intended to help churches reflect on practical ways to provide support to the bodies, souls, and spirits of the missionaries that they send out.

This post compares shame/honor and guilt/righteousness paradigms and how they affect ministry to Muslims. 

Steve was a salesman at a local car dealership, and I bought my first Malibu from him in 2009. When I heard about his severe cancer diagnosis, I was overwhelmed with a deep compassion and a nudge from the Spirit. 

We might not know our neighbours or even like our neighbours, but we need to hear God’s call and allow it to guide our faith and actions to love our neighbours on the streets, in schools, at work, and in our churches. 

We desire to reach communities that have no idea what “the law” is. Do they really need to hear the law to see their sin? Doesn't it make more sense to meet Jesus, Christ crucified, and let him reveal their sin?

No longer can we simply ask, “What can we do to get people to come to our church?” We must also consider, “How can we go into the world to encounter those in need of the gospel?”
