1. Be Transformed

2. “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.” – Romans 12:2, Colossians 1:28, Acts 18:24-28 We Can Summarize Apollo’s Process In 4 Steps: Love. Grow. Share. Serve.

3. Be Transformed Step 1: Love: It Changes Everything. – Loving God – Loving People – Loving Truth – Loving Good Step 2: Grow: God Is Growing BIG FAITH. – Practical Teaching, Providential Relationships, Private Disciplines, Personal Service, Pivotal Circumstances

4. Step 3: Sharing The Good News of Jesus Why Share The Gospel? Because God Is Pleased When His People, Tell His Story. – “For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not come to know God, God was well-pleased through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.” 1 Corinthians 1:21

5. Step 3: Sharing The Good News of Jesus Where? Here. There. Everywhere. – Acts 1:8: Locally, Nationally, Internationally HERE: Philip & Nathaniel (John 1:43-51) – Bring Your Objections With You, Just Come… THERE: The Samaritans (John 4:35-44) – “Look on the fields, that they are white…” EVERYWHERE: In Every Nation (Acts 10:35) – Incredible Opportunities: Acts 13:15 – Very Simple Messages: Acts 13:26-32,38-39 – Encouraging Reports: Acts 14:26-28

6. Sharing Face To Face The Vast Majority of Conversions Come From Face To Face Encounters. – The Institute For American Church Growth asked 10,000 people: “What was responsible for your coming to Christ and this church?” – “I Attended A Gospel Meeting” 0.5% – “I Had A Special Need” 3% – “I Liked The Bible Classes” 5% – “I Liked The Minister” 6% – “A Friend or Relative Invited Me” 79%

7. Prepare To Share I Hope We Will All Purpose To Share The Gospel Here, There, & Everywhere. More Prayer…Less Pitch – Colossians 4:3 More Power…Less Personality – Romans 1:16-17 More Practice…Less Putting It Off – Luke 9:60, Isaiah 6:8
