Title Elements of Evangelism
Content Title: Elements of Evangelism
Bible: Mark 1:35-39
Today's sermon is about Jesus' missionary journey with his disciples. I hope this will be a time of grace when we preach the word under the title of Elements of Evangelism.
First, Jesus prayed before going to preach.
Behind the power of Jesus was always prayer. Even before going out to evangelize, Jesus did not forget to have a new relationship with God. Even though He was the Son of God, He did not exclude the power of God, and He is the One who activated the heart line with the Heavenly Father, a direct line where you can talk at any time. The Jesus found in the Gospel of Mark is the praying Jesus. In verse 35 of the text, the way he prayed is recorded. He prayed at dawn. Early morning means that it is still before morning. E.M. A man named Bounce said about prayer, 'God never uses a man without prayer.' It is said to be with those who pray.
Who prays at dawn? A person who dreams of the kingdom of God. Jesus spoke of the kingdom of heaven and is the one who bought the kingdom of heaven. Even today, those who build an altar of early morning prayer before God are those who dream of living in heaven and are living in heaven. He already possesses the blessing. The one who prays at dawn is the one who loves the soul.
Second, everyone sought the Lord.
who are they These are the words Simon and those with him came to Jesus and told them. These people are followers of Jesus. They didn't come and go looking for the Lord. Just like a woman who has lost the drachma is looking for the coin, she has set her eyes on and found it with passion. Jesus came to this earth to save the souls and bodies of all people.
Let's go to the third nearest town!
There is no other reason for wanting to go to a nearby town. to preach there. Jesus said, 'Let us go to other nearby villages. I will preach there too, for this I have come. Evangelism is what Jesus did by example. He said that he came into this world for this purpose. Evangelism is a responsibility entrusted to our members. do you believe 'You will be my witnesses to the ends of the earth!' The gospel of God must be preached to every nation, every nation, every tribe. The call to go and make disciples of all nations is the great and great will of our Lord to all of us. The Lord's evangelism is an example for all who follow the Lord to follow. Introducing the kingdom of heaven is an important thing we Christians should do.
Dear saints, How many people have you led to heaven? He promised that the wise will shine like the light of the firmament, and those who turn many to righteousness will shine like the stars forever and ever (Daniel 12:3).
All the saints who have gathered here to worship God! You believe that you are His children who have God as one Father. I believe that Jesus is my Savior and that I am a justified believer. Christ's people belong to him. You are living under the guidance of the Spirit of Christ.
Let us listen to the quiet voice of our Lord at this hour. 'Let's go to another nearby village. I will preach there as well, for this I have come.'
It is said that someone told about the accident of the West Sea ferry 17 years ago. 'no. Excessive boarding in weather like today is dangerous. no. But one of the planners said his wife isn't going fishing on honey Sunday. Today is a day to worship God.' It is said that he saved his life because he did not follow his earnest request. Shouldn't someone say something ? To those who wander in the path of sin and death, we must say that here is a way to live. I now solemnly command you in the name of the Lord. Let's all risk our lives to evangelize.
