Sharing the Gospel – Building Block no.14
And Jesus said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men." Mark 1:17
Jesus told his disciples, specifically the ones that had a fishing business, that they would become fishers of men. Of course, they already knew how to catch fish; Jesus was now going to teach them to catch men – meaning that he would train them to bring people to faith in Jesus. And really, that’s the key; disciples need to be trained to share their faith, because for most of us, it’s just not intuitive.
Tasks to Complete:
"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” Acts 1:8
First, pray that God would give you a love for the lost.
Second, understand that you’ve been called and empowered to be a witness for Jesus. You should memorize Acts 1:8.
Third, attend a Simple Gospel workshop at The Harbor Church. The next workshop, "How to Share your Faith 101." The next workshop date TDB.
Fourth, make a list of people you want to see come to faith (pick up your Multiplying Disciples card on the Connect Table to help you get started.)
Fifth, share a simple gospel message with at least three people (it doesn’t matter if they are on your list or not.)
"How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent?" Rom. 10:14-15
