How to Lead Others to Christ

Notes: How to Lead Others to Christ

Harvest August 1, 2013

John 4

1. We are to go into all the world and preach the gospel.

2. We are to preach it everywhere.

3. Gods way to reach people is through people. We don't want people to go to hell.

4. You are to preach the gospel all the time.

5. How are we to do this.

1. We need to go to wherever, to whosoever, whenever God directs me.

2. We need to use tact.

"Tact is the art of making a point without making an enemy." Sir Isaac Newton

Start a conversation, ask about themselves, it's their favorite subject.

We needs a tactful, friendly, engaging approach.

Jesus often answered a question with a question.

Tell your story. The personal testimony, no one can argue what God has done for me.

Your story is a powerful bridge for the gospel message.

1. Don't glorify or exaggerate your past.

Telling your story is all about getting to His story.

"Would you like to accept Jesus Christ right now?"

Acts 2:37-38 (NLT)

Peter's words pierced their hearts, and they said to him and to the other apostles, "Brothers, what should we do?" [38] Peter replied, "Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to God, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Matthew 28:19-20 (NLT)

Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. [20] Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age."

We are first to be disciples of Jesus and then to disciple others and repeat the process.

You need the outlet as much as someone else needs the input.

Daniel 12:3 (NLT)

Those who are wise will shine as bright as the sky, and those who lead many to righteousness will shine like the stars forever.
