SHARE

• SPLASH is a natural approach that requires
  sensitivity to the occasion accompanied by a
  strategic plan to build relationships for the
  Kingdom.
• It is not about sharing a presentation, it is
  about sharing life. 1 Thess. 28 We cared so
  much for you that we were pleased to share with
  you not only the gospel of God but also our
  lives, because you had become dear to us.

Sharing requires love and empathy.

• Loving others does not have to be deserved or
  merited (Romans 56)
• It is our understanding of the power and
  consequences of sin that compels us to share
  life.
• Without The indwelling of the Holy Spirit, man
  is capable of doing anything.
• The consequences of sin. (Romans 623).

4
Sharing requires love and empathy.

• Before Jesus commissioned the disciples in
  Matthew 10, He shared both His passion and His
  vision.
• When He saw the crowds, He felt compassion for
  them, because they were weary and worn out, like
  sheep without a shepherd. Matthew 936

5
Sharing requires love and empathy.

• Jesus shared both Good and Bad News
• The Good News - The harvest is plentiful,
• The Bad News - the workers are few. Matthew 937
• Pray to the Lord of the harvest. Matthew
  938
• Not to send someone
• Send Me! (Go Ye)
• Paul tells of the compulsion of his ministry in 2
  Corinthians 514.
• The love of Christ compels us so that we no
  longer live for ourselves.

6
Sharing Life Requires Willingness to Sacrifice
(John 427)

• When Jesus ministered to the woman at the well
  the disciples were on lunch break.
• They were hungry for food (32)
• Jesus was hungry for finishing the Fathers work.
  (34)
• Jesus was willing to sacrifice His physical needs
  in order to meet the spiritual needs of the
  woman.

7
Sharing Him Requires That We Put The Needs Of
Others Above Our Own.

• J-O-Y, (Jesus, others, you)
• Consider the text Philippians 23-4 (may be the
  most neglected text related to evangelism).
• Adopt the Attitude 26-11

8
Sharing Him Requires A Willingness To Be
Vulnerable.

• Our Sacrifice
• When the woman grabbed the cloak of Jesus, He
  knew that virtue had gone out. (Luke 843)
• A difficult passage is found when Jesus warns His
  disciples that they must expect persecution,
  misunderstanding, betrayal, and hatred (Matthew
  1016-23).

9
Sharing Him Requires A Willingness To Be
Vulnerable.

• His Sufficiency
• Matthew 1020-32 has some of the most magnificent
  promises in Scripture.
• The Spirit of our Father will speak through us
  (20).
• The Father will watch over and cast out fear
  (26-31).
• Christ will acknowledge us before the Father
  (32).

Your turn!

• 1. Jesus said The harvest is abundant but the
  workers are few. Is that still true? Why?

  have the mind of Christ?
• 3. What point in this lesson was most challenging

11
Your turn!

• 4. What sacrifices have you made to share Him?
  When you think of those persons you listed in
  your sphere of concern, what sacrifice might be
  required to share with them?
• 5. Recount a time when you shared Him and
  discovered that He was sufficient to meet your
  every need?
