Interview: Open-Air Preaching
Open-Air Evangelism has been a passion of mine since 2004. As I look at our communities I see thousands of people who will never come to our chapels - so how are we going to reach them? I would suggest open-air preaching is a way.
Preaching Christ in a Pagan Culture
The Western World is becoming less Christian every day. As Believers in the Lord Jesus, how should we seek to reach out to the lost in a society that no longer has a Christian foundation?
Guest Post: “You’re just a stay at home mum!"
A mother reflects on how she can be active in evangelism.
Newquay Evangelism: 'Christian' Students Who Didn't Understand the Gospel
I encountered two ‘Christian’ students who didn’t understand the gospel. Read on to discover what happens.
Sharing the Gift of Christmas
A simple and effective way to reach your community for Jesus.
Distractions to Evangelism
When it comes to reaching out to the lost, we need to make sure that we do not get distracted by secondary issues, rather we need to keep the main thing - the main thing.
Family Worship
As we see the decline of Christianity in our land, we need to ask - “What is the cause, and what is the solution?”
Online Evangelism
Churches have been using a “come and see” approach to evangelism, but what are we supposed to do when our buildings are closed down?
What is the Gospel?
There are many people in our churches, including those who truly desire that the lost come to know Jesus, who don’t understand the gospel.
Logos 9 - Review
As the sole pastor of a small, but growing congregation, I find that my time is at a premium. As I look at my weekly calendar, I find myself wishing I could see the Joshua 10:13 miracle, where the sun stood still, taking place nearly every day! Due to the tight time restraints that I have upon me, I have found that Logos has been a tremendous blessing in enabling me to get more done, but in less time.
The Use of Scripture in Evangelism.
We must resist the urge to engage in evangelism without the Scripture. When we witness to someone, we want them to hear God speak. We want people to hear the voice of their Creator revealing who He is to them, and the only way this can be achieved is by the Bible being used.
3 Things Which Kill Evangelists.
As I reflect on the many ‘falls’, I cannot help but notice there seems to be three main areas which kill evangelists. I think it would be prudent for all those involved in the ministry to be alert to these areas, as the same temptations which assailed those who gave into sin, can very easily be the sin which kills us.
Even the Young Die.
Sadly, like many people in our society Jordan had bought into the lie that said we have plenty of time. From his perspective he thought he had his whole life ahead of him; he would think about Jesus when he was older. The problem was that Jordan didn’t realise what the next few weeks would bring; he didn’t realise that his life had an end date, and he was very near to it.
What Are We Ashamed Of?
Even though my flight was just beginning I was already feeling tired; I had determined beforehand that I would get to my seat, put on an audiobook and then perhaps after a little while drift off to sleep. Even though I was travelling to Western Australia to share about how to evangelise, I wasn’t in the mood for talking.
Newquay Evangelism: Gospel Advance!
Immediately, I was struck by the willingness of people to take tracts; at times it felt like we couldn’t hand them out fast enough. But not only was literature going out, but gospel conversations were beginning to take place also.
Newquay Evangelism: "I'm saying no to Jesus!"
I explained the gospel to her, and called on her to trust in Jesus, but she refused. I asked her, “Are you saying no to God’s love and compassion today?” She looked at me and said, “I’m saying no to Jesus!”
Newquay Evangelism: Atheism and the Gospel
Once the open-air board was set up George began to preach. As he spoke a young woman walked past and yelled out, “I am gay. God hates me!” George replied by pointing her to the love of Christ, but the woman kept walking. What appeared to be a ‘drive-by’ comment would actually be a hook that drew this young lady back to the discussion later on.
Newquay Evangelism: "I'll be worm food!"
My nerves were rising up as I got my Bible ready to preach; personally if I could have I would have happily let someone else take my place as preacher. Even after proclaiming Christ in the open-air for sixteen years I get nervous when it comes time to proclaim…
Back into the Open Air!
What was sad is that until today Patrick had never heard of God’s love, or of what Jesus did upon the cross; here is a man who was not young, yet he lived in England and had never heard the gospel - truly this nation needs missions!
