Introduce others to Jesus!

1. Notice people seeking

What do people look for?

  • Happiness/satisfaction – I want to enjoy
  • Meaning/success – I want to matter
  • Acceptance/companionship – I want to be liked
  • Security/peace – I want to be OK

The fulfillment: Jesus has come; let us come to Him!

2. Share your life

What does life with Jesus look like?

Jesus demonstrated hospitality and invited the disciples into His life.

We also can demonstrate Jesus by knowing others and being known by them.

Evangelize not as a passerby but as a participant!

3. Invite personal encounters

We all must find out about Jesus for ourselves!

Jesus uses us to call others to follow Him.

  • Who is He?
  • How did you meet Him?
  • How has He impacted you?

Who can you invite?

4. Welcome hard questions

What makes someone skeptical?

  • Incredible claims of the Bible
  • Misunderstanding
  • Pain in life
  • Cost of following

Good hard questions:

  • Protect against false belief
  • Enable careful consideration
  • Build bridges for understanding
