© 2005 FEBC International Our Message What we need to communicate

What is It? How to be saved? How to find God? How to live a godly life? How to find peace and happiness? How to find the truth? How to repent and believe? How to overcome temptation? How to get on well with other people?

Or is it… Enjoying God? Walking in the Light? Living in obedience to God’s word? Following Jesus’ teaching and example? Kingdom living? Living a fulfilled life? Doing good to others? Holy living? Etc…?

The fact is.. It is not easy to define… We might find some important Bible verses.. …but these are inadequate Jesus’ parables of the kingdom The Kingdom of God is like this… The Kingdom of God is like that… So what is it in its completeness?

A Useful Model

Worldview The way in which a person in a particular society sees himself in relation to all else It is conditioned by personal, cultural, social, geographical, historical and philosophical factors Christian world-view shaped in obedience to the Word Explains “why?” Worldview

Belief Basic truths: Triune God Creation Fall Revelation Incarnation Redemption The Church The Return of Christ Trans-cultural Belief

Values The things we consider important Derived from our world-view and beliefs Include: Respect for life Respect for others Integrity, honesty, truth Healthy view of money, wealth and possessions Etc. Values

Expression What we do What we think (about) How we behave Our creativity: what we write and/or make, etc. Our attitudes Our relationships Our love for one another Our faith in action Discipleship The impact we have on our community What we will be judged by… Expression

Good Radio Programs Talk mainly about issues of everyday life Deal mainly with the outer circles of Expression and Values Point toward Jesus Christ at the centre as the source of Life Raise awareness of need to believe in Him JESUS Expression Values

An Incomplete Message (or Gospel) Incomplete in scope (no practical expression) Faulty worldview and belief system at the centre. E.g. materialism, existentialism, atheism…

The point of Christian communication To awaken faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour It does not depend on proof (because proof has no need for faith) It becomes a personal way of thinking through the work of the Holy Spirit To bear witness to the Light
