How to Talk about Jesus

Sep 8, 2024    Ps Rachel Cartledge

We're reminded of our calling to share the good news of Jesus with others. This message emphasizes the importance of personal evangelism, rooted in Isaiah 6:8 - 'Here I am. Send me.' We're all called to be evangelists in our daily lives, not just those with a specific gift. The main barriers to sharing our faith often stem from fear - fear of inadequacy, losing reputation, rejection, or appearing hypocritical. To overcome these, we're encouraged to follow Jesus' example of compassion and love for others. The message outlines five key components for effective evangelism: prayer, loving others, sharing the gospel message, telling our personal story, and being obedient despite the results. We're reminded that our job is to sow seeds, while God brings the harvest.
