Where did you live between the ages of 7 - 12?
How many brothers and sisters did you have?

Get people to share why they are passionate or excited about their relationship with Jesus.
Why are you excited about Jesus?
Get responses and share your own.
When Peter and John were brought before the ruling council in Jerusalem, and told not to talk about Jesus...
Evangelism is talking about what you are passionate about.
It’s easy to be passionate about great news.
win PB? Cure for cancer?
She said yes...
We have great news.
We have the great news that men and women can be forgiven of their sins and saved from eternal separation from God by believing that Jesus Christ died for them and rose again.
Learning techniques won’t put passion in you… only Jesus can.
Know “how to share” will build your confidence, but the passion comes from your relationship with Jesus.
Example of Great News -
A Group of Lepers
During Old Testament times, an enemy king named Ben- Hadad of Aram mobilized his army to attack and besiege Israel.
Facing certain death outside the city gates or inside the city itself, four starving Israelite lepers decided to surrender to the invading army.
They hopelessly entered the enemy camp only to discover that the Arameans had vanished.
Food, clothing, and shelter were scattered everywhere.
The lepers lunged on the spoils and ate and drank as much as they could.
They grabbed as much silver, gold, and clothes and hid them.
Evangelism is sharing good news with those who desperately need it.
People are dying and headed to hell and we have the way… the cure to prevent that from happening.
We were totally helpless to do anything about our sins.
This is why it’s important for us to share what God has done for us.
He paid a price we could not pay.
Sharing the Good News
Paul refers to the Gospel as the power of Salvation.
The Gospel has inherent power to transform lives and prepare them for eternity.
The message is that Jesus died on our behalf and rose again.
Like the hungry lepers, Paul said,
Evangelism is allowing others to share in what Christ has done in your life.
We simply share what he is doing in our lives with those we care about.
Jesus began his ministry proclaiming the good news and He finished it by assigning that proclamation to his followers.
Paul
What should be our motivation for sharing the good news?
Love
What did Jesus do in your life that can motivate you to share it with others?
Great news in light of Bad news
Illustration: On April 15, 1912, the “unsinkable” Titanic slowly slipped from sight, plunging 12,000 feet to the floor of the Atlantic Ocean.
Only one lifeboat went back to save people.
Jesus wants us to be that lifeboat.
We have the answer that will rescue the perishing.
We must go to them with the lifeboat of salvation.
How does Jesus describe the condition of those who do not believe in him? in God’s angry judgement
Do you see people as Jesus sees them?
Apart from Jesus Christ, men and women are eternally lost.
People need to hear the Gospel because we cannot live a righteous life without Jesus
Jesus wants to save people and make their lives complete.
How can we become powerful witnesses for Jesus Christ?
We become powerful witness the the power of the Holy Spirit.
ILL - disciples before and after Pentecost.
Jesus knew the disciples needed power to accomplish his purpose.
So do we...
Summary
The Gospel is the Good News about Jesus that needs to be shared.
People without Christ are lost in sin and without hope.
We need the Holy Spirit’s empowerment to share the good news.
