Go into the world~/neighborhood.
Front lines.
Tip of the spear.
Front on the boat.

Winds in their face.
Going to a new destination.
Problem;

Solution;
Today Christ offers you the same excitement.
(He’s Captain~/ He’s the light in the darkness)
Maybe you won’t change the world.
But you might changes someone’s world.
Let’s see how Paul did it.
Slide:
*Acts 17:* *1 *Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.
\\ *2 *Then Paul, as his custom was, went in to them, and for three Sabbaths reasoned with them from the Scriptures, \\ *NKJV*
Paul and Silas, traveled south (Major trade route)
Amphipolis~/Appolonia to Thessalonica.
100 south of Philippi
/Came to Thessalonica~/synagogue/
v.2 Then Paul, as his custom was…
His normal routine.
His M.O.
/He went in to them…/
That just means he went to where they are.
That’s how you become a “World Changer”
You go…/Matt 28:19 “Go therefore”/
1.
You become a “Selfless Servant”
You person that cares less yourself~/more serving others.
*Great theologian: “The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.*
If you want to be a “World Changer”
1. Selfless Servant.
Need to learn to share one on one.
Illustration;
Barna Christian Research Group
½ of 1% became Christians~/Crusades.
Less than 2% from some church program.
Only 2% meet Jesus through church service.
80% of people who come to Christ are because one person was willing to share with them.
We’re not talking some distant Amazon jungle~/USA
180 million people outside of these walls.
v. 2 Then Paul, as his custom was, went in to them and for three Sabbaths reasoned with them from the Scriptures.
Slide;
*Acts 17:3 *explaining and demonstrating that the Christ had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and /saying,/ “This Jesus whom I preach to you is the Christ.”
\\ *NKJV*
Not only does scripture tell us what to do.
It tells us what to say…and how to say it.
1.
He /reasoned/ with them.
Conversation.
Questions and answers.
“Do you believe good people go to heaven.”
“Do you consider yourself a good person.”
2. He /explained/ to them.
