It is a command, by Jesus, that we share God's love with our neighbors and invite them into relationship with God through Christ. Yet it is something we just don't do. This sermon is about a simple way to share your faith so that you can invite your friends to make the best decision they can make - to say yes to Jesus!

You need to walk alongside the people in your life before you can bring them to Christ.

Evangelism is all about relationship! We are called to imitate Jesus and in most cases Jesus built deep connections with people to bring them into the kingdom. As we share our faith we need to truly love our neighbors first by making a friend.

After Jesus is resurrected from the dead he only spends a short time before returning to the Father. He makes it clear that we have work to do, that we are sent to share the Good News. How will you respond to be sent to share the good news of Jesus Christ?

A sacrifice is not determined by the size of the gift but by what it represents to the person. The root word of ‘sacrifice’ is the word ‘sacred.’ When we declare something to be sacred, we are setting it aside for a holy purpose, dedicating it to be a means to serve Christ. When people make a gift that is truly sacrificial, they are setting aside and dedicating resources to be used for the purpose of furthering the work of the Kingdom. In scripture, sacrifice is always mentioned in the context of worship with the focus on honoring and loving God.

Stewardship includes all that we have and all that we are - all of the time. God desires that we be a generous people. “For God so loved the world that He gave His Son.” A mark of faithful discipleship is found in our desire and willingness to be givers rather than takers. As Christians we are called to give out of our need to express generosity as we seek to live a faith-filled life.
