It’s a new episode of Resident Strangers! In case you missed last week, Sarah is officially on maternity leave and Hailey Keller is filling in while she’s away. Steve, Rich, and Hailey talk all about oikos – not the Greek yogurt, but the biblical word meaning family, community, the people you do life with. Most people come to faith through hearing the gospel from these personal relationships, not just an invitation to church. Because of this, it’s crucial that we are intentional about sharing the gospel with people in our day to day lives.  A role of the corporate church service is to empower and encourage the church body to go out and evangelize to their own communities. Christians shouldn’t solely depend on going to church with their nonbeliever friends, but to live like Jesus with their actions and words through intentionally sharing the gospel. We are ALL called to share the gospel. As you listen to this episode, ask yourself, “Who is one person in my life that is an unbeliever and needs to hear the gospel?” Then pray for opportunities to have those gospel conversations with them.
