Introduction
Donald Perterson, president of the Ford Motor Company of America, in A Better Idea, published in 1992, attributed the company's difficulties in 1980-1990 to a loss of their "vision". For the past 10 years, the Ford company has been in decline due to lack of vision due to complacency, and Japanese cars have entered the gap and suffered a lot of losses.
The church must also have a vision. When there is no vision, the church declines. Our church has a vision.
First, by evangelism, the number of registered members will increase to 5,000, and the number of attending members will increase to 3,500 including Sunday School.
The second is to further expand the tent site,
The third is to build a church equipped with cultural facilities, and the fourth is to have welfare facilities where elderly parents can spend the rest of their lives without worry.
I have given you four reasons for the existence of the Church.
I said 4e.
4 E is
1) Exalt God, Exaltation,
2) Preaching the Gospel and Evangelism,
3) Nurturing saints and edification,
4) There will be an Extension to expand the heavens.
Today, we are going to receive grace by looking at the second E, how to effectively preach the gospel. There are people who resist, people who pretend to be ignorant, and people who are indifferent when they say that they should go to unbelievers and preach. On the other hand, there are church members who feel sorry for not being able to evangelize.
People hate 3D these days. Church members do not like to do hard, burdensome, and uncomfortable work. Some church members say, "What do you do by evangelism? It is better for us to get along well with each other.
But it is not the Christian morality to leave the dying unattended without seeking out the lost. It is sinful.
If the members of Hongseong Church fully devote themselves to the Lord and do not hesitate to reach out to unbelievers with the gospel, our church will surely become a church that gets attention from those around us. Our church will overcome Satan and hell and become a church that changes the world.
There is a good way to go out in search of the lost. It is an effective way to save a soul.
1. Pray with interest
You have to decide the person you want to evangelize with in your heart, pay attention to him, love him, and pray by calling on his name to open his heart.
Write his name on the church and the church should intercede for him. The members of the church do not know his face, but they should pray by name.
When we pray for him, the Holy Spirit softens his heart and makes him accept the gospel later. Therefore, we must write down the name of the evangelist. And we must pray for those who will evangelize personally, locally, and throughout the church. The intercession team should pray.
2. Build good relationships
The way to personally approach Mr. Dal-su and Mr. Dal-soon, who do not believe in him, is to establish a good relationship first. As soon as we meet for the first time, we should establish a good relationship with him for the future rather than being rejected and cut off by preaching the word of Christ.
To do this, we must learn from the farmer.
1) Farmer's Wisdom
Before the farmer sows the seeds, he first sows the hard ground with manure, then he plows the field deeply, crushes the soil into small pieces, creates troughs, and then carefully sows the seeds.
(1) Let's spread the foundation
The evangelist who spreads the gospel must first sow the foundation. It is kind to him. - When difficult things happen to him, he volunteers, helps and gives appropriate gifts, and invites him to eat at an atmospheric restaurant,
It's like making a special meal and sharing it.
So it's about making a good impression on him.
[Proverbs 19:4] Wealth adds to many friends, but a poor man has no friends. - When money is used wisely, friends increase.
[Proverbs 19:6] Many seek favor with a generous man, and everyone is a friend to him who loves to give gifts.
A generous person = a prince who likes to do a favor, a kind prince
Many seek grace = Many come for help, many supplicate
For those who like to give gifts - they have many friends
So let us first show kindness and favor to people. - Then people will come.
A person who likes to cycle will have many friends
Therefore, believers should not be stingy and give well. Wealth is to make many friends. (4)
(2) Let's plow the field
Then you have to plow the fields to improve your relationships. Improving relationships is about reminding him of kindness, the change in me, and the cool side.
And you have to make up between me and him. The fruits of evangelism are produced when these preparations and efforts are put in place first. And above all else, you have to trust him.
(3) Sow the seeds
After plowing the field and manicuring the soil, the farmer sows the seeds. Then cover them with plastic or straw to keep the birds from pecking at the seeds. And the farmer prays and waits for the sprout to sprout.
Evangelists must simply and accurately convey what they have seen and heard. The Lord who came to me, I must accurately testify of Jesus who changed me.
To testify is not to brag about yourself, but to convey the greatness of God. A believer's testimony is heard as a mysterious and mysterious thing to an unbeliever.
3. Invite them to the evangelism meeting
Then, when there is an evangelism meeting in the church, we invite him to the church to hear the gospel. The evangelism meeting is a meeting prepared to spread the gospel to unbelievers.
Those of us who have already believed may know this, but to those who come for the first time, it is a new word and a word of life. The evangelist should express his gratitude to the first-time visitor to the unfamiliar church and give him kind consideration so that he can hear the gospel with a comfortable heart.
4. Participate in Sunday or Wednesday worship
At some point in our prayers for him, we make an appointment to meet with him on Sunday and invite him to join us in Sunday worship. He comes to church for the first time and does not understand all the truth. But when he gives him the kindness and warmth he hears from the inviter, he feels the beautiful atmosphere and solemnity of the church. During the worship service, you will be moved by the work of the Holy Spirit and receive the Gospel. The whole church should treat him as a vip when he comes to church for the first time.
5. Participate in local worship
Iron makes iron stronger. People change when they meet people. First-time participants are deeply moved to see a small group of people gather in the territory to learn and associate with the truth in a serious and loving way.
I am moved when I see how each of us looks back on their lives through the Word, discusses them, builds up each other, cares for each other, and prays. Moreover, when he sees serving and serving with love, he wants to participate in the district meeting.
6. Serve in Christ
A district or church should give special attention and love to the first-time participant. To newcomers, church members should show warmth and sensitivity as if they were caring for a child. And serve him everywhere. In the parking lot, in the chapel, in the dining room, in the toilet, you should give him priority. So you have to help him not to feel uncomfortable.
7. Use your finances
Knowing where to spend your money is very important. Money has plenty of places to spend. But money should be spent where it will be spent. There are indeed many people who spend their money on sin and corruption. Money should be spent wisely.
Just as parents spend generously to raise their children, believers and churches must spend money for new believers.
Cincinnati Vineyard Church two-twenty movement. - In other words, it is a movement to spend two hours a month and use $20 for evangelism. Many believers do not use their time and money for evangelism. However, in the Cincinnati Church, we did a movement to give 20 dollars to the Lord for 2 hours a month, and in 4 years after the church was established, there were 4000 people.
Let's devote 2 hours a month and spend 20,000 won for evangelism. I hope that our church will also actively practice it and bear the beautiful fruits of evangelism.
