1 THE FRAMEWORK OF EVANGELISM MATTHEW 28:

2 The work of Evangelism is rooted in our Relationship with the Lord and the Gospel and His people

3 NT FRAMEWORK  RELATIONAL  MISSIONAL

4 NT FRAMEWORK 1. The Lord 2. The Community 3. The Gospel 4. The World

5 EVANGELISM is RELATIONAL True evangelism does not occur unless the Christian is brought into a relationship with the Lord, with the gospel, with one another and with the world.

6 THE CHRISTIAN GG COMMUNITY WORLD LORD GOSPEL EVANGELISM RELATIONAL FRAMEWORK

7 EVANGELISM is RELATIONAL Evangelism only makes sense when the Christian, under the rule of God, is brought into a dynamic relationship with the gospel, other Christians and the world

8 MEANS OF ENGAGEMENT Acts 2:42 – 47 –Devotion –Demonstration –Proclamation Mark 3:

9 EVANGELISM is MISSIONAL ROMANS 10:13-15 … And how can they preach unless they are sent…. … “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news”

10 BY “MISSIONAL” means TASK –Acts 13:2 “work” The task of proclaiming the good news… telling the message…..SPREADING the GOOD NEWS..

11 MISSIONAL FRAMEWORK TASK MEANS COMMUNITY LORD GOSPEL WORLD

12 MEANS OF ENGAGEMENT KNOW THE GOSPEL KNOW THE PRAYER KNOW THE CONTEXT

13 THE GOSPEL Is not a Theory Is not a Philosophy

14 THE GOSPEL Is about a Person – Jesus Christ Is about an Event

15 GOSPEL God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal Life All men have sinned. The wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus

16 GOSPEL Jesus Christ not only died for you and me but for the whole world He died on the cross, shedding His blood for your sins and my sins

17 GOSPEL But God raised Him up on the third day and exalted Him as Savior and Lord. Whoever believes in Him shall receive the forgiveness of sins, eternal life and the gift of the Holy Spirit

18 GOSPEL - Invitation Do you want your sins to be forgiven? Do you want eternal life? Do you want to receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour?
