Today we'll wrap up Lloyd's series on sharing the gospel, titled "Eternal Influence". Lloyd has used an acronym during this series to remind us of the five important elements in sharing the gospel. S-H-A-R-E. "S" for being sensitive, "H" for being humble, "A" for arousing a desire to hear the message, "R" for revelation, and "E" for explaining the message clearly and completely.

In Acts chapter nine we witness the conversion of Saul, who, after his encounter with the Lord on the road to Damascus, became the great Apostle Paul. It's a wonderful reminder to us that we may have committed some terrible sins in our lives, but there's nothing that God won't forgive - if we go to Him in repentance and faith.

Despite what some new age rock star pastors will tell you, there is a literal place called hell, and it's the eternal destination of everyone who does not receive salvation through faith in Christ. How dare I make such a bold statement? Well... it's what God says in His word - repeatedly. So how can we get the important message of saving faith in Christ to the unsaved around us without being too pushy and driving them away? That's what our current series is all about.
