Title: The Evangelism System


1
The Evangelism System
  • The Evangelism System controls how many and who
    can connect to the church and the Lord
  • With the emphasis on connecting to the Lord

2
Symptoms of Evangelism Barrier
  • Non Christians dont come, they feel judged
    immediately
  • People examine the visitor, the cloths, manner,
    or words
  • Legalism, lines instead of love
  • Our way instead of meeting needs
  • Few, if any, new people become Christians

3
Churches that Evangelize
  • Do not expect people to act like Christians until
    they are Christians
  • Accept people without approving of their
    lifestyle
  • Look for the searching heart not the outward
    appearance
  • Understand the difference between rules and laws
  • There is a difference between preference
    conviction
  • Explore all the ways people are drawn to God

4
Evangelism Requires
  • Relationship of Trust
  • They usually must develop a trusting relationship
    with an individual and the church before they
    trust the Savior you offer
  • Different people trust at different rates
  • How long does it take the average non-Christian
    in your church to trust Christ?

5
Evangelism Requires(Cont)
  • Information
  • Christianity requires spiritual, mental,
    volitional, and emotional agreement with Biblical
    truth to become a Christian
  • The Biblical truth must be constantly presented
    in a number of ways to allow for the saving
    embrace of Christ
  • Different people ingest truth differently so we
    must explain the simple gospel in a variety of
    ways

6
Evangelism Requires(Cont)
  • Ministry of the Holy Spirit
  • God is calling many in your city to repentance
    and faith in Him. Will your church be a place
    that he can send them for this life changing
    work?
  • We must work with those who He is making ready,
    not wish or hope others were ready
  • Aiming all our spiritual guns at the spiritually
    resistant and neglecting those who are ready

7
Evangelism Requires(cont)
  • Ministry of the Holy Spirit (cont.)
  • Regeneration is God in the Holy Spirit making a
    person a new creature through deep confession,
    turning away from sin and new faith in God
  • Regeneration is a God activity and we should help
    the non-Christian do business with God at the
    deepest level

8
Evangelism Requires(cont)
  • Exposes felt or real need
  • People must see a need for God before they will
    come to God
  • We must expand what they see to include the depth
    of their need for God
  • When people come to your church do they regularly
    realize that they need God in all kinds of ways
    spiritual, mental, emotional, physical, personal,
    etc.

9
The Moment of Salvation
  • When someone wants to become a Christian
  • You should know this is happening
  • There should be a way to make this known
  • They should really be ready to commit their life
    to Jesus Christ
  • You should be ready to guide the person through
    the 48 hours as a Christian
  • They should begin being discipled in the
    Christian life within 1-2 weeks
