Evangelism In A Skeptical World Eternity News

It's not just telling them the Gospel. It's about becoming your friend's go-between for issues that sit between this world and the next. Right now you may still be looking at evangelism as a one-off event where we tell our friends the Gospel - that big event we build up to where we finally say what we need to say, right? But Sam Chan, City Bible Forum evangelist and author, says that conversation is usually the beginning, not the end of your journey with someone.

Don't lecture your friends with a dry Gospel presentation. Tell them how the penny dropped for you. You’ve been given the chance to tell someone the Gospel! Which means what exactly? You and many other Christians have grown up with six point plans and tricky diagrams that feel more like lectures than conversations. How do we begin telling people the greatest story ever told? City Bible Forum evangelist and author Sam Chan says it begins by answering the most asked question: how did you become a Christian?

Evangelising is not just about having the right words, it's knowing when to say them. Listen - listen - listen! If you do, author and City Bible Forum evangelist Sam Chan says you stand a better chance of picking up on when someone is ready to 'go further' in a Gospel conversation.

You can't just jump into deep water, and you should equally lead up to deep conversations. Society has public and private spaces, and 'rules' about what sort of conversations can be carried on in each. City Bible Forum evangelist and author Sam Chan says we have to think carefully about the context of our conversations, if we're hoping to move them on to more serious topics.

We've been trained to invite people to evangelistic events, but are we missing a step? Why would anyone come to your events, if you never attended theirs? A fair question from City Bible Forum evangelist and author Sam Chan, who says our witnessing has to include building the foundation for a relationship. If we want to invite friends to our evangelistic events, we should begin by going to their social events.

The starting point for personal evangelism is encouraging your worlds to collide. City Bible Forum evangelist and author Sam Chan takes us to the starting point of personal evangelism: connecting your Christian world with your unbelieving friend's non-Christian world. Believing the Gospel is reasonable begins with showing them that reasonable people believe it.
