Recommended: The importance of sharing the gospel through evangelism

Let us pray.
Gracious God,
Thank you for this beautiful day and the chance to share the Gospel today. Please help us to hear, understand and practice God’s word through the Holy Spirit, In the name of Jesus Christ. We pray, Amen.
Now, I have a question to ask you. If you know the answer, please raise your hand. When you raise your hand, I will give you a chance to answer.
The question is “Do you remember the title of the sermon from last Sunday? If you know the title, please raise your hand.
(When someone from the congregations says the correct answer, I will respond) Wow, that’s right. The title of the sermon was “Compassion”
(Give a gift to a congregant) “Thank you for remembering the title of sermon.”
In last Sunday, I preached about compassion of Jesus. Jesus and disciples were tired and wanted to have the rest with disciples. However, Jesus moved to many people coming to him and he began to teach them many things. Jesus had compassion on them and moved to them because the people are like “sheep without a shepherd”.
In today’s Bible story, many people still are following Jesus because they want to see more of his miraculous healing power. (1-4) Jesus looked up and saw the large crowd coming toward him. Jesus asks Philip how they may feed the crowd. …show more content…

It is this same love that works to restore human beings to the image of God. God gave God’s Son to save all human beings from depravity and death. The Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son. The Holy Spirit is of a substance and glory with the Father and the Son. The Holy Spirit comforts, sustains and guides all believers to become authentic disciples and children of Jesus. Through the Holy Spirit, we can understand and experience the knowledge and love of God and love for our neighbor. So, I always say to you, “The grace of Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the communion of Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen” benediction. Do you remember

    Lee includes Scripture, Gospel, Hymns, Prayers and concludes the sermon in an “Amen” (37) by switching the posture to the audience. Perelman examined, “Every technique promoting the communion of the speaker with his audience will decrease the opposition between them” (79). Since Lee’s meaningful sermon consisted of the most essential techniques, her audience recognized her authority and capability to preach. She not only knew about the role of a minister, but also knew how to carry out her responsibilities as a minister, which enforced the appeal to ethos from the audience’s point of view. Lee compelled the audience to reconceive their discrimination of women

  • Tattoos On The Heart Of Boundless Compassion Analysis

    Drawing a distinction between being for someone and being with someone, Father Boyle writes: “Jesus was not a man for others. He was one with others. Jesus didn’t seek the rights of lepers. He touched the leper even before he got around to curing him. He didn’t champion the cause of the outcast. He was the outcast.” Such a distinction has significant implications for understanding ourselves in relation to others. While being for someone implies a separateness, a distinction between “them” and “us”, being with someone requires the recognition of a oneness with another, a unity that eradicates differences and binds people together. “’Be compassionate as God is compassionate’, means the dismantling of barriers that exclude,” writes Father Boyle. Accordingly, true compassion is not only recognizing the pain and suffering of others – it is not just advocating for those in need. It is being with others in their pain and suffering – and “bringing them in toward yourself.” Indeed, scripture scholars connect the word compassion to the “deepest part of the person,” showing that when Jesus was “moved with pity”, he was moved “from the entirety of his

While on earth so much of Jesus ministry was focused on healing, feeding, clothing, and lifting up the marginalized. He feed and healed people before he professed to them that he was the Bread of Life and the Messiah. This is way it is important that we too are willing to feed and clot...

    For those who have heard the gospel previously and believe that the Bible is a credible historical and moral reference, this method can be very effective in bringing someone to Christ. This step-by-step explanation walks a seeking person through each point of their need, God’s provision for their need, and how to receive salvation. It is effective in quickly giving the Gospel in a short amount of time especially in busy city neighborhoods where people are always on the go. It also helps a Christian learn and teach the core doctrine of the Gospel by using one book of the Bible rather than going through the entire Bible given the short amount of time to present to unbelievers (Kaufmann). It is a good tool to be used by new and experienced Christians.

  • The Birth Of Christ: The Story Of Jesus Christ

    1728 Words  | 4 Pages

    Christ states that he was brought into this world to deliver the message that the Lord has for humanity. He was sent to this world to preach about the word of the Lord. Christ announces his only purpose which is to save humanity and to preach about the good news that comes when humanity stops engaging in violence. In Nazareth, Jesus reads from the book of the prophet Isaiah, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because God has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. God has sent me to proclaim liberty to captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free and to proclaim a year acceptable to the Lord” (Luke 4:18-19). This is one of the most striking moments of Christ ministry. The message of this passage is that the word of the Lord has been fulfilled and that God has sent him to proclaim the good news to the poor. The good news that God was referring meant that both the sick and oppressed would be

  • Community Service Observation

    803 Words  | 2 Pages

    Numerous amounts of people would come to receive bags of food and select some clothing if they needed some. Particularly during Christmas time, the children that would come would receive some books, toys, and a stuffed animal. At these service events, I had made three very important observations. My first observation was the gratefulness of those who came. The adults, especially those who had to wait for a long time because of the sheer numbers of people that came, remained patient and orderly. Some of us can’t even be patient when the drive thru at a fast food restaurant becomes a stalemate. These people could worry less about time. They were grateful for simply being able to receive some goods that could help provide for them and their family. As for the children, the toys that they received weren’t necessarily desirable in the perspective of a privileged child. However, these kids knew how much their parents sacrificed for them. They were appreciative for any of the toys they received. For fortunate kids, they can expect that their parents will buy them a gift for Christmas. Yet, others can only hope that their parents can get them one small gift. Thus, they cherish anything they receive, something that all of us should do. The second observation I made was that we made sure to evangelize those who were there. In Matthew 4:3, in response to the
