The best way to share our faith is to share our lives.

Walk when you can.

Talk with them.

Meet their needs.

Eat with them.

The goal of hospitality is to build relationships strong enough to bear the weight of the gospel.

Repeat.

How are you going to act?

 Speak Openly (Col. 4:6)

YOU are someone’s best opportunity to hear the gospel.

We don’t have to sell the gospel, we just have to share our story.

God can use our story to change someone else’s story.

What are you going to say?

If I am going to access the limitless power of God on the spiritual battlefield, I must pray…

1. In the Spirit

Romans 8:26  Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.

James 4:13 You ask and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, to spend it on your passions.

2. Concerning all things

3. Covering all saints

4. Alertly and Persistently 

Mark 14:38 Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

2 Corinthians 2:11, "so that we would not be outwitted by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his designs."

1. HIDE BEHIND the shield of faith

I Step Out from the Shield of Faith when I:

1. Act on my FEELINGS instead of the Word of God

2. Act on my EXPERIENCE instead of the Word of God

3. Act on UNBIBLICAL ADVICE instead of the Word of God

4. Act on DESIRES instead of the Word of God

Act on ENVY instead of the Word of God

2. REST with the HELMET of Salvation

3. ATTACK with the Word of God

HEBREWS 4:12-13

12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13 And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
