Evangelism Is Not Optional, Part 2

Tom Shrader continues his series on evangelism by examining what the gospel message actually is, grounding it in 1 Corinthians 2 and 15 and the Great Commission of Matthew 28. He explains that the core message Christians must carry is that all humanity is separated from God by sin, and that Christ died, was buried, and rose again as the only remedy. Shrader then challenges the congregation honestly by naming seven common reasons believers fail to share their faith, from fear of rejection to simply having no unbelievers in their lives, and calls them to move past excuses into obedient witness. “Every other faith is about man's attempt to reach a holy God. Christianity alone is about God reaching a sinful man.” — Tom Shrader Series: Evangelism Is Not Optional Recorded in 2004 Duration: 44 min Themes: evangelism, sharing your faith, the gospel, fear of rejection, obedience, great commission, witnessing, excuses, afraid to share faith, new believer, socially isolated christian, feeling unqualified to witness, struggling with obedience, church member, young adult, believer with no unbelieving friends Topics: soteriology, gospel message, sin and separation from god, substitutionary atonement, resurrection, great commission, missiology, biblical obedience Scripture: Matthew 28:19-20, Acts 1:8, Acts 10, John 16:33, 1 Corinthians 1:18, 1 Corinthians 1:26, 1 Corinthians 1:31, 1 Corinthians 2:1-5, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, Romans 3:23, Romans 5:12, 2 Corinthians 5:21, 1 Peter 3:15, 1 Peter 2:24, 1 Timothy 2:5 — About Priority Living AZ — Priority Living AZ preserves the teaching legacy of Tom Shrader.
