Sermon Outline for November 8, 2009

Our Church Health - Need-Oriented Evangelism
James 2:15-26 (Pew Bible page 1882)

Rerun:
Not sharing pizza but faith.
Talking about the “E” word.

“E” Word:
Many clichés & myths.
Imitate & have success.

All Are Not Evangelists:
Great Commission.
Use spiritual gifts.
Less than 10% have the gift of evangelism.

All Can Share Faith:
Put faith into action.
Called to serve.
Why is God, Christ, Holy Spirit, and church important?

Different Approach:
Not manipulate or pressure.
Building friendships.
Show concern for their spiritual condition.

How Do We Respond:
Focus on those not in church.
Tend to their issues & needs.
Sharing pizza is like sharing the gospel.
All can be blessed.

Next Week: Rev. Bill Kilmer, Guest Preacher
Don’t play hookey, but please support Rev. Kilmer!
