Presentation transcript:

Letting Your Light Shine I. What was Jesus main form of evangelism? While Jesus preached to the crowds and taught publicly, His main form of evangelism was ministering to the needs of people who were hurting. A summary of his ministry is found in Acts 10:38.

II. What was a primary purpose for Jesus’ coming into the world? A. He came to seek and to save that which was lost (Mt. 18:11; Luke 9:56; 19:10). B. He came to reveal to the world the love of the Father (John 15:9; 17:26).

C. He came to put a face on God and love the people of the world the way the Father would love them (John 1:18; 14:9; Col. 1:15). D. He came to bring light and life to the heart of every man (John 1:9).

III. What is the primary purpose for the church in the world? A. The Church of Jesus Christ has been given the same commission as that of Jesus—to seek and save that which is lost. B. God wants us to carry on and fulfill the ministry of Jesus.

C. God wants us to be careful to fulfill the greatest commission of all—LOVE. We are to love God with all of our heart, soul, mind and strength, and we are to “love our neighbor as ourselves” (See: Mt. 19:19; 22:34-40; Mark 12:28-34; Luke 10:25-37; Rom. 15:1-2; Jam. 2:8). 1. We have done well in our loving God.

2. We have not done nearly as well on loving our neighbor or we have been confused over what it means to love our neighbor. a. We are to love our enemies (Luke 6:27-36). b. We are to feed and bless them (Mt. 5:43-48). c. We are to do good to all men (Gal. 6:10).

d. We are to overcome evil with good (Rom. 12:21). e. We are to let our light shine (I Pet. 3:8-12).

IV. What is the light that we are to shine before all men? A. The light that we are to shine is our good works. As Christians we must be careful that we love not just in word or in tongue but in deed and in truth (I John 3:18; I John 4:20; Eph. 2:8-10).

B. The light is not what we have often thought it to be. 1. Prosperity and Faith for Abundance (II Cor. 9:8; I Tim. 6:17-19). 2. Theological Exactness (Mt. 23:1-3; Tit. 3:8-9). 3. Praise, Worship and Spiritual Sacrifices (Heb. 13:15-16) 4. Church Attendance (Hebrews 10:24- 25)

5. True Spirituality (Jam. 1:27; Is. 58:6-11) 6. Studying the Bible (II Tim. 3:16-17) 7. Government Involvement (Rom. 13:3) 8. Dressing for Success (I Tim. 2:10) 9. Faith and Works (Tit. 3:14)

While believers are saved by faith and grace, they are saved for the purpose of good works (Eph. 2:10) and every believer should be… Fruitful in every good work (Col. 1:9- 10). Zealous for good works (Titus 2:14). Rich in good works (I Tim. 6:17-19). 10. The Anointing (Luke 4:18-19)

C. Those who would be leaders in the church are to be patterns of good works (Tit. 2:6-8). D. This kind of evangelism will work (I Pet. 2:11-12).
