A WINNING STRATEGY
Ephesians 4:11-
AIM
To encourage believers to share the gospel with every lost soul in desperate need of salvation by grace through faith in Jesus.
INTRODUCTION
We are about to enter a week long competition.
For the record, we are not in competition with other churches in our area who are having Vacation Bible School on the same week we are having ours.
We should be thankful and pray for our area to be saturated with the gospel of Jesus this week.
Our competition is with the devil for the lost souls who will be attending our First Baptist Church Vacation Bible School this week.
If we are in a serious competition, we need to work together as a team.
Jesus owns the team and has chosen me to be the coach.
A coach always gives his team a pep talk before his players enter into competition with an opponent.
His job is to encourage his team, give them the final instructions and get them fired up before the first play in the game.
The Bible teaches part of my job as a pastor is “perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry.”
Hopefully, I can be a good coach for our team.
Tomorrow will be the first day of our 2017 Vacation Bible School.
Many of you could do this in your sleep because you have done this so many times over the years.
You have been successful and have seen many lives changed by working together as a team.
You understand the success of any group of people is working together as a team toward a common goal.
Our goal is the same as God’s goal to reach, teach, win and develop preschoolers, children and youth, with an extended goal of reaching their families.
To do this, we need a winning strategy.
A WINNING STRATEGY IS ALWAYS CENTERED ON GOD
God the Father gave Jesus, His only begotten Son, to save the world.
God the Holy Spirit glorifies, Jesus, the the Savior, and guides the lost to understand the gospel.
John 16:7-
He convicts the lost of sin and unrighteousness and leads them to a definite decision to accept or reject Jesus.
He convicts the lost of sin and unrighteousness and leads them to a definite decision to accept of reject Jesus.
Everything we do must be centered on God if we want to succeed in accomplishing His will.
Anything and everything we do which is not centered on God, regardless of how hard one works, is destined for failure.
It doesn’t matter if we are serving a meal, helping others learn new lyrics to a song or teaching a Bible story, it must be centered on God.
A winning strategy is always centered on God.
A WINNING STRATEGY IS ALWAYS COMMITTED TO THE GOSPEL
We have wisdom when we learn we do not have the power to save one lost soul.
The Lord alone can save lost souls and He uses the message of the gospel to lead them to Jesus.
The gospel is God’s power unto salvation.
We must understand our limitations.
We can’t make people repent or make them feel guilty enough to be saved.
We are witnesses of the gospel of Jesus.
We are witnesses of the gospel.
Luke 24:45-
The greatest thing each of us can do is share the gospel with those who are lost.
We are responsible for sharing the gospel, not how those to whom we witness respond to the gospel.
A winning strategy is always committed to the gospel.
A WINNING STRATEGY IS ALWAYS CARRIED OUT WITH GRACE
There are no perfect people in this world.
Every person is a sinner in desperate need of a Savior.
Romans 3:11
This is the reason we need to share the gospel and extend God’s invitation with grace.
Ephesians 2:
God’s grace is greater than our sins.
Every sinner is saved by the grace of God through the Lord Jesus Christ.
Romans 5:20
Each of us is saved through the gracious atoning work of Jesus on the cross.
Romans 3:2
A winning strategy is always carried out with grace.
CONCLUSION
CONCLUSION
We need to be excited about what God is going to do through each of us throughout the week as we work with preschoolers, children and youth.
Everything we do during the week should be centered on God.
We should be committed to the gospel.
Our work should be carried out with grace.
We have a winning strategy because we serve a powerful God who his given us His instruction manual.
