Recommended: Thesis on effective evangelism

During this semester in Evangelism, I have had the opportunity to learn about different techniques and ways to approach someone who is an unbeliever. For my witnessing report I decided to share the gospel with my close friend Mikaela. It was an honor to have the chance to have a conversation with Mikaela and to see her reaction to the Gospel, and have the opportunity to answer her questions. When I came to Liberty University I was under the impression that just about every student would be a Christian, I was surprised to find out how many unbelievers attended Liberty such as my roommate. Although I was quite upset to discover that one of my roommates had not been saved, I soon began to see that I was called to evangelize her and share Gods love with her. During my first semester at Liberty I rarely saw my roommate and it wasn’t until this semester when I moved off campus that I have began to develop a close friendship with her. Throughout this semester I have spent a lot of time with my former roommate Mikaela trying to be a positive spiritual influence in her life. When I found out about this witnessing report, I knew that the Lord had laid it on my heart to sit down …show more content…

At the beginning of the conversation I asked her about how she was enjoying her Bible classes then proceeded to ask her if she believed the things that she was learning in class. Much to my surprise she believed in many of the things taught in Convocation and Bible but had still not accepted Christ as her personal Lord and Savior. As the conversation proceeded, I shared my testimony as well as many passages from the book of Romans with her in hopes to share my experiences with her. After I shared my testimony I was surprised to see that Mikaela was actually wanting to develop a relationship with the Lord and live a life that was pleasing to

  • Expository Preaching Summary

    566 Words  | 2 Pages

    Richard Holland (M.Div., Master’s Seminary; D.Min., Southern Baptist Theological Seminary) is an Assistant Professor of Pastoral Ministry at Master’s Seminary. In the article, “Expository Preaching,” Holland claimed that the robustness of a preacher’s bibliology is the source of the power and authority in their preaching. Therefore, he asserted, “a robust bibliology will logically lead to expository preaching as its homiletical expression” (Holland 2011, 20). Holland supported his claim, mentioned above, as he began with at discussion about the post-modern ideology and its affect on hermeneutics and homiletical practices regarding the authority of the Bible.

  • The Demonstration Of The Apostolic Preaching

    1286 Words  | 3 Pages

    Throughout the first 400 years that Christianity was present in the world it changed dramatically. It started small in an area near the eastern Mediterranean area but within these 400 years, it grew to encompass the whole of the Mediterranean and its surrounding. Throughout this time of growth, there was also much change within the beliefs of Christianity with the main belief centering around Jesus Christ. While Christianity grew and made it to new areas it was introduced to new people that interpreted the different scriptures and preaching of what it meant to be a Christian. Some of the most influential writings in these years came from Irenaeus of Lyons, a second-century writer, Christian, theologian, and bishop. He expressed his beliefs of what made a Christian a Christian within his writing. One of his most famous writings, The Demonstration of the Apostolic Preaching, highlights the idea of the Holy Trinity and the Rule of Faith in the interpretation of the bible. Irenaeus believed that the Rule of Faith was ultimately necessary and required when reading and interpreting the word of Christianity saying, in the words of Isaiah, “If ye believe not, neither shall ye understand” (paragraph 3). In the eyes of Irenaeus, the Rule of Faith is one of the main things that makes a Christian a Christian.

  • Personal Narrative: My First Presbyterian Church

    7am. That was the time I arrived at the parking lot of the First Presbyterian Church in Woodbridge, New Jersey. I was heading to Montreat, North Carolina with twelve other kids to attend my first Montreat Youth Conference, focused on strengthening and shaping youth’s faith. I’ve heard great stories of what a week in the black mountain area of North Carolina entailed, however, in hearing the greatness and multitude of them I wanted stories of my own. I’ve heard that this trip was supposed to be life changing, and that Montreat was a “thin place between heaven and earth,” but I wasn’t really sure what any of that meant before actually going on the trip. But after a twelve-hour drive, a week there, and another twelve-hour drive back, I surprisingly found myself in a spiritual sense, and actively strove towards creating a newfound relationship with God.

  • Jesus is___.

    1673 Words  | 4 Pages

    Over the past year and a half I have felt a tremendous calling placed upon my life to spend my time on Earth pouring everything I am into a Christ centered ministry. When I first arrived in Southern California, from Indiana, I thought I had my whole life figured out. It was my belief that God had already made it completely obvious how I would spend the rest of my life serving his kingdom. I could not have been further away from the truth. God has revealed so much truth and knowledge to me that I am still having trouble wrapping my head around. Through my classes here at Vanguard and the community that surrounds me I have seen and felt God move in amazing ways. However, through the book Jesus is____. written by my favorite pastor, Judah Smith, I have been opened up to new concepts and ideas that have been nothing short of mind blowing and full of Jesus’s truths. While writing this book, Pastor Judah asked himself the question time and time again, “Who is Jesus to me?” He also asks the reader at the beginning of the book, “Who is Jesus to you?” This book challenged me, made me smile, and convicted me. Judah’s love for Jesus is evident. His passion to make Him known is confirmed. The book traces different aspects of what the Bible says about Jesus and who

  • Spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ

    The known world was impacted by the spreading of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which was done by the first century church with great passion. These early followers of Christ set the world on fire, by relaying the Good news of Jesus Christ, first to the nation of Israel then to the gentile world. The Bible tells us that the Apostle Peter was commissioned to bring the announcement of Christ’s death and resurrection to his Jewish brethren, whereas, the Apostle Paul was chosen by Christ to bring the Gospel message of salvation to the gentile world. The early works of the church are recorded in a series of letters that have become known as the scriptures of the New Testament.

  • Reflection On Listening To Jesus

    750 Words  | 2 Pages

    As a follower of Christ, I imitate Christ’s life that I may reach my goals as a religious awaiting for eternal life. Mostly, I reflect on Jesus’ calling his first disciples to come and follow him and he will make them fishers of men. It is through faith, prayer, and trust that I can change many lives of people not even by my words, but only my presence is enough. Surely, my mission for my community and the church made me obey as I live the teachings of Jesus. Knowing Jesus obeyed God, also I obeyed my superiors in whatever mission they had for me. They sent me to teach in elementary school, but before I started teaching, the superiors had the urgent need in the secondary school and this made them change their mind. They wrote a letter asking me to change my mission. Immediately, I agreed and go to work in the secondary school. I had planned to work there for five years, but I ended up working there for ten years. At first, it was hard because I did not know anything about the library. Sadly, everyone in the school even some of the sisters were commenting on my work. I knew it was hard for I never worked as a librarian

    I was afraid, but I continued to pray and asked God for directions. Fay states, “God has called each of us to share our faith, in obedience. He has called each of us to evangelize. If one of your excuses for not sharing your faith is, “I don’t have the gift of evangelism,” then you need to examine Scripture. You find the command of the Great Commission to evangelize, to encourage evangelism, and to urge evangelism.” I really enjoyed spreading the gospel because it gives me joy. I am willing to meet the needs of people when given the opportunity. I love God and I love people. I am willing to go where God wants me to
