Unfortunately, the recording of this message was cut short, so here is the outline:
God can take the smallest seeds of gospel truth and grow them into great stories of gospel salvation.
Steps to Advancing God's Kingdom
- Know and Understand the Gospel
- Method 1: The Gospel message answers four big questions. (1) Who is God? (2) Why are we in such a mess? (3) What did Christ do? (4) How can we get back to God?
- Method 2: The Romans Road - Romans 3:23; 6:23a; 6:23b and 5:8; 10:9; 5:1 and 8:1
- Pray
- “We should never talk to people about God until we talk to God about people.”
- Don’t overestimate your role in advancing GOD’S Kingdom.
- Just Do It
- Give yourself grace when you share your faith.
- Focus on people’s separation from God, not on being morally upright.
- Be compassionate and maintain a tender heart toward others. You are a sinner in need of grace too.
- Ask lots of questions and be a good listener.
- The goal is to win a soul, not an argument.
- Trust Christ for the response.
