Sharing your faith is a major tenet of the Christian life, but it can be intimidating! In this Sunday message, Pastor Greg Laurie demonstrates how to be bold and evangelize efficiently and often.

Notes

“There are two types of speakers: those who get nervous, and those who are liars!” —Mark Twain

Why don’t we share our faith more?

1. Fear of rejection.

2. Anxiety of being asked questions we can’t answer.

3. Feeling we are not the best example.

Being an evangelist is a gift more people have than they may realize.

1. Effective sharing starts with caring.

We will never reach out to people if we don’t care about them.

2 Timothy 2:26

We will never reach anyone if we don’t have contact with them.

The meaning of beautiful feet is “full bloom” … like a blossoming flower.

1. Sharing the gospel is life-giving to us, as well as the person we share with.

Another translation of the word beautiful is “lively.”

It’s saying, “How lively are the feet, those that preach the gospel of peace.”

We have a choice: We can keep it and stagnate, or we can share our faith and flourish and be like a well-watered garden. Evangelize or fossilize.

God primarily reaches people through verbal articulation.

“Oh, I don’t reject your Christ. I love Christ. It’s just so many of you Christians are so unlike your Christ!” —Gandhi

The only way to get to Heaven is to be saved by Jesus Christ!

The gospel is only Good News if it gets there in time.

3. We should share the gospel with whosoever, whenever!

The Will of God is revealed as we read Scripture and take steps of faith.

God’s Will is not an itinerary but an attitude.

God’s way becomes clear when we start walking in it.
