00:12 >> Welcome back to the second now of a program that I believe is most relevant for
00:15 the growth and the >> health of the Christian Church evangelism. One word
00:21 that on which the salvation of all of humanity is hinged. We've had past the camera
00:26 division is going to continue. Thank you for what you talk about in the first hour. I
00:29 think your side, I don't know. I get that impression. But thank you for your passion and
00:34 your commitment to evangelism and what you do for the cause of Christ. And some of the
00:40 myths and misconceptions of the evangelists. And if you're just joining us, you may have
00:44 missed the first out. But we're going to continue and maybe reiterate some of those
00:49 things. But what I want to start and buy diving into is giving our viewers and
00:54 listeners the information that they would need. We are taking questions in this hour. And if
00:59 you have any questions about evangelism, you could be about budget. So whatever the
01:05 method, whatever comes to mind, you can send that question too. 6, 1, 8, 2 to 8,
01:12 39. 75. That's if you want to texted or you can e-mail those to live at 3 ABN DOT TV. Send
01:19 those in before this hour's open, which are past division will try to answer those. one
01:25 of the questions I exit out with. And I like to come back in to that is it deceptive to
01:35 hide our denominational identity to do it. Public evangelism, I would say it a
01:40 definitive no. It is not deceptive it. Now, let's walk through a little bit now. This
01:46 concept is I think deeply rooted like what we need to tell people that like you put
01:51 out an advertisement, it should say brought to you by the 7th Avenue Church. teach
01:55 about that. >> And we we feel probably a good feeling. We want to make
01:59 sure you get everything out on the table. So there's no questions at all. But if you
02:02 look at the Ministry of Jesus, for example, OK, many times that he tell people and don't
02:08 tell people who did this. Don't when Peters confession of Christ, he said knots, keep
02:13 this to yourself essentially, right? People he'll be 6. Don't go tell the precinct
02:17 what was going on. The quintessential example, in my estimation, is the road to Why
02:22 Luke Chapter? 24 Jesus, his, you know, walking along with these disciples. But he
02:27 purposefully disguises right? And so it's not deceptive. He didn't call himself another
02:34 name but heat. He limited their exposure to information to what they could handle at
02:37 the time. Right. And so why does he do? And he's walking along the and the the
02:44 interaction. If you've never of the story you've 24 in fastest of is one of my
02:49 favorites. I think great. I preached a sermon in the Spanish country not called it.
02:54 Agua hot water, hot water because you know the word emails means hot water. How
03:00 about week, OK, Andrew Cement peace. So they were leaving Jerusalem. The city of peace
03:05 going downhill 7 miles on their way to hot water, hot water when they met Jesus and
03:08 of that identity. So >> let's go to that. I love areas. Just instrumental.
03:13 Look, ye and in take a look at it and says he had to. 24 is overturning exactly. It says
03:17 here, let's go down to let's go to first 15 K so was while they conversed in reason to
03:26 these are these disappointed disciples right after the they didn't know the resurrection
03:30 of Jesus happen that Jesus himself drew near and went with them to try. And that's
03:35 all we had They should be. So your choice for their walking with Jesus. But an expert
03:38 says. >> But their eyes were restrained so that they did
03:42 not know him. He didn't identify the purposely their eyes were strain. So he was
03:47 still the same person. But made sure they didn't recognize him. That right. And
03:52 then he starts going through the motions of this. What kind of conversation is why are
03:57 downtrodden and they start to love this correcting Jesus, teaching Jesus or you're the
04:03 only one who doesn't know what went Then where have you been these? Then? He without
04:08 revealing his identity right? It says here, then in 25 foolish ones and slow of hard
04:17 to believe in all that the profits have spoken. not the Christ who have suffered these
04:21 things and to enter into his glory and notice 27 and beginning at Moses, of course,
04:28 is the first author of Scriptures. That could be the book of Genesis itself right?
04:32 Moses and all the profits he expounded to them in all the scriptures, the things
04:39 concerning himself. He was teaching them about himself without revealing himself.
04:46 That right. So why did he do it in this? Wouldn't the simplest way to reveal himself
04:49 be high? But he didn't do that. Why? Because he wanted to walk them through an
04:58 understanding of God's word so that when they did have the recognition of who was it
05:03 wasn't based on a fleeting feeling or some sort of like something else that could be
05:07 blown away by some other wind of Dist. They would have an established faith on the word
05:13 of God. Now, as the story continues at CES. He goes on. They constrained him a verse.
05:21 29 saying abide with us for just toward evening. The day is far spent. First 30 now
05:23 when it came to pass as he sat at the table with them that he took bread, blessed and broke
05:28 it and gave it to them. Then their eyes were open to try and they knew him. now I like
05:34 to read into this just a little bit. He's sitting at table with them and now he
05:40 extends himself to give them the bread, right? That's right. Dimon, opens up those
05:45 hands and for him brief moment. Their eyes are completely unveiled, right?
05:51 And they know exactly who he is. And then it says and he vanished from their site. So
05:57 far, only a brief moment that they see Jesus face to face. It had to be the most
06:00 exhilarating like. Flood of light dawning on them. They like, oh, and I have to
06:07 imagine that Jesus maybe smiled and winked or something as he left, you know, but
06:11 regardless he vanishes and what was their And they said to one another verse. 32, it
06:18 did not. Our heartburn with in us while he talked with us on the road. And while he what
06:24 open the scriptures open the switch. They looked back and said. The power of this moment
06:30 wasn't just seeing Jesus in person. It was understanding Jesus from the scripture
06:36 itself. Now we have a faith that even if Jesus is not here personally in our present, we
06:42 have a knowledge of who he is. That is as solid as scripture itself. So the method Jesus
06:48 use was he was scriptural before he became personal. Well, exactly, especially in
06:53 primary and this story exactly when you think about it. If we were to start off by saying
06:58 we're 7th Avenue, we believe in and mortality. So we believe in the second coming
07:00 is not. It's too much right? It's over. It's over killed, right? It is not being as wise
07:07 as serpents and harmless as doves, which by the way, Jesus gave that in the context of
07:12 soul winning evangelist, he says I'm sending you out and you need to be wise as
07:16 serpents witches. You know, the serpent is a representation of Satan, but
07:20 Florida, Satan. But pure is Christ right. And so we have the example of crisis see how
07:26 to apply that in the work of so winning an evangelist sister. What makes an
07:31 interesting comment on this? 2 of 2, brother who's headed out on a missionary in Denver. You
07:37 can find this in testimony to Southern Africa Page 17. She says this to this missionary.
07:43 Do not feel that you're bound and duty. The first thing to tell the people we're 7 Davin
07:49 us. We believe the 7th is a Sabbath. We believe in the mortality, the soul.
07:54 >> And thus direct, most formidable barriers between you and those who wish to
07:57 reach. And she explains how do not feel as an honest man that you must tell all that you do
08:02 believe at the very onset. So it's not at all deceptive to say we're going to be looking
08:08 at prophecies from the word of God and we're going to open our bibles and see what his
08:12 for truth is for today. And we look at the signs of the end. We're going to look at
08:19 prophetic images. That's exactly what we're going to be doing it right. And so it's
08:23 not at all disingenuous. We don't start off with the state of the dead or that secret
08:25 rapture or the mark of the beast. We're going to get there as people walk through
08:29 scripture. And when we get to the rim that church well start to say, well, OK, what I'm
08:35 looking for, these identifying characteristics who keep the Commandments of God that the
08:39 testimony of Jesus who preach the 3 Angels message? Well, there's only one option left
08:44 trying, right? So it's not at all bait and switch. It's exactly the method that Christ
08:51 used to help people see and see the truth as it is in Jesus and build their faith on
08:55 something solid. That's very good because a lot of times. Being a involved in media past
09:01 with the evidence church for 35 years now seeing the storms because sometimes people tend
09:08 to pigeonhole. To nominations based on their miske understanding of the
09:13 nominating. >> And that's not unusual. I've often said to people, if
09:18 you want to find out what we believe is people don't go to you to come to us because you
09:24 to vote. I think that explains it all for sure if YouTube universe, but it's also very
09:29 skew toward the person that's making the presentation. And some people say, well, you
09:33 know, they hide their identity, didn't want you to know anything they want to
09:35 sneak up on you and kind of just draw all u N. But if you look at the scriptures data's,
09:39 not exactly what that's not at all. What being done. You follow the method of crisis as
09:45 in first. 35. He was known to them in the breaking of Wait a minute. That was a seven-mile
09:53 journey. Why did he reveal himself in the first What about the Second did you
09:59 forget in the 3rd Miley could have said to him on the Christ couldn't taken the opportunity
10:03 when when they were saying are you the only one in Jerusalem that didn't know what
10:08 happened? You could is that, hey, it happened to me like I know. First, I know first he
10:11 could have done in the 4th mile. Why not? The 5th smile? I mean, surely you welcome 6
10:14 miles and nothing happens. You about to walk right past my house and you would not have
10:20 come in unless we invited you in. You wait to the last moment to the breaking of
10:25 bread. It was him all along. So here's the point that you made and I really like this.
10:34 Let the focal point not be you. God's word. Yes. And when the focal point is God's word,
10:42 you'll find Christ. Amen. That's exactly what I get in first. 35. He was known to
10:46 them in the breaking of bread. It's not about us. It's about him. But the revelation of
10:50 Jesus, which is a book of revelation, be the focal point. So so it's not
10:55 deceptive. Then to not at the very outset say, hey, guys, here's who we are. That's what
11:01 we've been doing for the last 135 years. no, just say, well, hey, we want to share with you
11:07 what God's word says, absent you'll discover God in the process, if you again, did the
11:12 best exemplar of this is Jesus himself. You look at the woman at the way you look at every
11:16 interaction he meets them where they are and starts there, you know, and just
11:19 works with them. From that perspective and guides them on to what they can it handle.
11:25 And it's exactly the method of Jesus. He. You hit another example, the woman at the
11:29 well, he said when he was. Pulling that slowly out that evangelistic through, think is
11:36 that, hey, by the way, when you get some water, let me let me take care that water. Come
11:39 on up. But he that to me. I call that the reciprocal because lot of times we think
11:46 that Jesus just once something from us. So at that, we want something from But that's the
11:54 first time I saw script of what he wants. Something from us. Get me to drink. He wants
11:58 us to quench his thirst. Also. But let's go back to this here because some questions have
12:03 come in. Okay that I want castaway and we have, by the way, have quite a bit to
12:08 cover. We'll try to get this in before the album just 10. Some of these questions. I
12:12 think this is a common and the answer. The question. Church needs a Bible worker that will
12:19 do Bible work. Letitia evangelism, untrained eye members, adult and youth in
12:21 that work. Had little success in finding one. How do we find one? Well, that's a
12:32 challenging question if you're looking for by the worker. But the first thing I would say
12:34 because I'm not a specialist and I don't have a whole stack of Bible workers. I can deploy
12:38 out there, you know, ministries that trained by the workers for that very cause.
12:40 But I will tell you that. >> Employment of Bible workers as a vocation has gone down
12:48 tremendously in the last decade or so. You know it his reasons for unemployment in
12:53 conference in church is stipends and all kinds of structural things have been
12:55 dent in that. I would say that if there was no such thing as a Bible worker. By the work
13:00 should still go forward and the ultimate goal would be the have the minister not only be
13:09 an evangelist in his own right, but trainer of Evangelists in the
13:12 congregation so that church members themselves would be out there giving Bible studies
13:18 finding leads an interest in doing the work of evangelists in the full cycle, partnering
13:22 with pastor the public phase and all the different things that go into it. That Situates
13:27 says that every church should be a training school for Christian workers tried and
13:30 that the member should be taught how to get Bible studies, how to get how to
13:34 teach at a school classes, how to help the poor and how to work for the unconverted. And
13:39 so we oftentimes have a model. Right now where and, you know, an average church might have
13:46 100 members and they're watching one man work. When the reality is his job is to
13:52 help them to get to do their job. Watch that. We have 101 workers in the church. And so,
13:59 yes, he's still going to his individual labor. But his other job is to help. In fact,
14:04 let's take a look at this in a fusion is with you, OK? Ephesians chapter for one of
14:08 the day. Powerful things we find in scripture is this division of Duty, if you will,
14:16 in the body of Christ in fees Chapter 4 verse 11, it says and he gave he himself, gave
14:21 some to be apostles. Some profits, some evangelists and some pastors and teachers.
14:26 Let's pause right there. The fact that says some strongly implies that is not all but
14:34 some are right. Some are pastors. And what's the purpose of these positions in
14:38 the church for the equipping of the Saints? Exactly work of minutes, right for equipping
14:44 the Saints to do work of ministry. Right? And if you skip down to the end, he talks
14:48 about how the whole body joining together. But I want everyone Pfizer, 16, exactly
14:53 when every part doesn't share causes growth of the body price. Right? So sometimes
14:59 people like if we only had a pastor or a trainer or teacher or an evangelist, then the
15:03 work we go forward. But the Bible tells us that the role of the pastor, they've
15:07 Angeles, the teacher is to equip the members for missionary service. So while
15:14 it can be a benefit and there are occasions when you can have a Bible worker praise the
15:18 Lord, but I like their emphasis. If you're bringing them in, they shouldn't be
15:23 just there to do the work. It should be helping us to know how to do the work. So that by
15:27 God's grace, we'll all be workers in the cause I didn't actually mention that in the
15:32 early part of the problem. The ephesians 2.10, Aspen, but we are as workmanship. that's our
15:37 employment to do. Work. Here's why God calls us. you know, it's like saying a I keep
15:43 going back to the Apple example. You know, we need somebody to cell phones. Don't
15:47 you work for Apple in the Apple Store? What do you do? Well? I believe in the
15:53 product, but I'm not. Train to cell So are you technician? No. But I work for Apple, but
16:01 so what do you do? Well? I love their product like, well, I'm a little boy by Apple, but
16:10 each one of us has something to do so shoe sometimes it falls on the shoulder of us
16:14 has passed us. What if I have no church support for evangelism? They either don't
16:22 have the budget. do not want to help evangelize. Do I try to find his church? Well,
16:30 let's not jump to that right away. But let's assume that it's not for you know.
16:38 Malevolent reasons that they're not against you. They just can't afford it right now
16:41 where they just never thought about it or maybe they're just it's it's it's not on their
16:45 radar screen or something like, OK, but you have this burden for winning souls.
16:48 Yeah. The first thing I would say is go in fact, I don't say that Jesus is the Lord has
16:53 laid on you right? And so one of the best things you can do to help a church grow is start
16:59 doing the work yourself and start being an example. And if you start showing up to stuff
17:06 and always having something to share and maybe have a visitor with you or start talking
17:08 about how in my interaction this week I've been giving this Bible say people are
17:13 going to start to notice that they're going to ask him questions and it's going to
17:16 start too, you know, a stir Scripture says Love and good works. And I love that
17:22 imagery, by the way, from the book of Hebrews were talks stirring up loving, good
17:24 works. It implies that love and good works are in there somewhere to try that in the
17:33 anyone who has ever had an encounter with Christ. It did. And they might have a callus
17:37 over that to s**** soft spot, you know, but in their heart of hearts, they know the fears
17:44 a stirring that there's a capacity there. There's a longing for more. But
17:48 sometimes those settle down to the bottom and the love and good works gets separated out
17:54 like a like a good jar. Peanut butter. You know, the healthy stuff kind of stir it up And
17:58 so if I were in a local church, in fact, not if I was a local church since that kind
18:03 of the conference office. Choose where to be member of church. I was in the sine, the
18:10 pastor to church as the pastor. And so. Where do you go? Well, I wanted to place
18:15 right? Be of service. I want to be helpful and, you know, for awhile there, I didn't
18:22 have any local office, by the way. Now on the person Ministries leader for our
18:25 local church in this at a school teacher, too. But regardless, if I ever had an
18:32 office where gather given a budget or had a title, I don't care. I'm going to still be
18:36 working for souls in this church help move this church and grow it for God's grace,
18:41 even on my own. If no one else helps me to try and that individual commitment this
18:46 contagious and other people will start to question and asking, how can I be part of
18:50 this, too? And what's different about you and it will by God's grace, grow up
18:55 into a benefit. Wow. That's that's good. Going back to the personal and both of these
18:59 questions right away addressed an issue that I'm so glad you're here for take us a lot
19:05 of times. Take off the tee off from the word worker. Hend Bible work is something all of
19:14 us each one of us should be involved in and it goes back to the Fusion's, for get to
19:19 training people so they could find a level of comfort. Let's talk about the fear factor.
19:24 Okay. That's a lot of times. Fear plays a major role on 2 levels sometimes we're fearful
19:28 of their fear. That's great. It then our fear of their fear has created in their Our fear
19:37 of their fear is greater than their fear. >> You know, like a people's
19:40 ala. So fear probably comes in various forms for different people. Some people might be
19:50 afraid. >> That they're going to be rejection like they go door to
19:52 door. of the main reason people go door to door is because they're afraid of the
19:55 door being slammed right Other people might be up for it. I think that you're right about
20:02 that that I've had far more pop, positive interactions, the negative. I mean, on a
20:08 scale of 100 to one, probably I can think of a very few times someone has been just
20:11 vulgar, rude and just that horrible to me at door. I I guess it can happen from time
20:16 to time. But somehow this character is out there that if I step forward in it's going
20:20 to be the I honestly believe the phantom some time. Yeah, it is in. So there it is a
20:27 false fear that can be alleviated just by going out and seeing that is not true.
20:30 Come along with me, will go door to door and find people are nice. You know, it's OK,
20:35 the pen. There's another fear that it might be more legitimate. It's not so much a
20:38 fear. People saying no. I think is a fear. People saying yes. Would you like to study
20:44 the Bible? You like? Absolutely. I've been praying. Can we start right now? I
20:51 wasn't. I was I was geared up for the no. I was bracing for the slammed door right? But I
20:58 don't know to do in someone's actually eager and interested. And so there's a lack of
21:02 preparation. I don't know what I would do. I don't know how it fit my schedule. I don't
21:05 know what resource to use. So that lack of familiarity and training and preparation can
21:11 lead to a can lead to some fears on the moment on their own. That can be alleviated by
21:15 preparation in practice. And I love this one. It kind of ties to the spiritual gift. I'm
21:22 afraid it's not my spiritual gift. don't feel it's my spiritual gift. Well, I don't
21:27 know where we got this idea that spiritual gifts are just the things we're all ready
21:31 automatically interested in or the things we're naturally interested in or have a
21:35 passion for something like this. But nowhere in scripture. Do we find
21:42 witnessing as a spiritual gift? Now, no sharing your faith is not an option for
21:46 that. Is your light shine? It's let your light shine. It could be part and parcel who
21:50 you are as a follower of Jesus Christ. And so. When people say things like it's not my
21:56 gift to I'm not that good at it. All right. You that you might not be good at it. You
22:01 might stumble. You might not know what to do, OK? But I would lay this out there. If
22:07 you are in a car crash. And your leg were mangled and had to be repaired and you had to
22:15 be laid up in hospital bed and for from while there's apparatus and rods and Cass is
22:20 a mess right? But over time it starts to Hugh up in the day comes you can start taking all
22:26 that apparatus often. You cut off the cast and and that the physician comes in. So let's
22:30 take a look at you. Well, first of all, is that Legan look different on the other
22:33 one. Sure it's going to be at your feet. Abed is going to be. It's probably have little
22:38 discolored. Maybe it you may be even smelly. And so problems with that, had that
22:42 personal experience. You have, you know, that area. But if you are than to hop out of bed
22:46 and start, I was doing some jumping jacks or running. You fall over said no. And that
22:51 physical therapist is not going to come and say, oh, it's clear you don't have the
22:54 gift of mobility. Of course, not love they're going to say, well, of course, you're not
23:00 ready to run yet, but they're not going to rest. And they're not going to say let's just
23:06 schedule amputation. No, I'm going to say is let's start small us to some stretching a
23:11 little bit of flexing some weightless work on a range of motion and they were. Let me
23:17 put it this way being bad at something or unfamiliar with something is not evidence. You
23:21 need to do it less. It's evidence you need to do it more. Save that one more time.
23:26 Right? Being bad at something are being unfamiliar with something is not evidence. You
23:31 need to do it less its evidence. You need to do more now when it comes to sharing
23:35 your faith. How many people in our churches have never given a Bible study. They've never
23:41 invited someone to their church service. They've never gone door to door to talk
23:44 about an upcoming meeting. They've never sat with someone and and walked through the
23:48 scripture with them in lead to those convicting moments and in decisions for Jesus. That's
23:53 so true. And if they ever do, they might be squeamish. They might be fearful. They might
23:57 be hesitant. They might, in fact, closing at it. And they could look back and say off
24:04 the I'm not prepared or I it's not my gift. And let me tell you something. Friends that
24:07 snow were found in scripture being that it's something we're being unfamiliar is not
24:12 evidence. Utilizes evidence. You need to do it more. And I believe that the Lord wants us
24:17 to get active in our faith. And but sister White says this, our capabilities will
24:22 increase by use right capabilities will increase by as you may not be that good
24:28 right now. But you're next was going to be a little better to try. And it's just we're doing
24:33 at this idea that spiritual things have to go from 0 to 100 and that telling notes
24:36 from God, no, no, put it in practice and let the Lord grow you in his work, right? The
24:43 Bible use the phrase that grow by Hughes, thanks the growth of use. Yeah. I mean, that
24:47 example is just so clear to me because just use a short story with your wife came when we
24:52 came to 3 P in 19 years ago. The for least thing my wife ever think to do. She's so
24:59 good at it now better than I am. As an audio I couldn't get it to look at a wave file
25:07 affect my wife's definition for way. File we are good. But a look at this file. My audio
25:12 editor. That was a way file. But now. Amazed by how God has developed her. And once again,
25:20 the fact that something on familiar with, it doesn't mean that you need to do a less
25:25 means. You need to do it more. That's right. And that's how the gift has developed a.
25:29 >> I would just look at the camera, just maybe if you're driving, don't don't pull off
25:33 them if you You don't just listen carefully. If you're not comfortable doing it, if
25:38 you're fearful of doing if you don't know how to do it, that's an indication you need
25:42 to do it more so that you can game the skill and develop that skill because people that
25:47 are eventually better at what they do because practice doesn't make perfect. Make
25:53 sure that it and what you But it means you have to put some action into that and say, OK?
25:57 First time using Photoshop. I don't have a clue what these tools 30 years later, 10
26:03 years, 2 Wow. Now you're telling other people that means it's all about training.
26:08 But I think that what we need to do is Christians need to get that mindset. That what
26:13 works in the world around them. Hes also a play couple to developing these Christians
26:19 killed. It's not always just this is your gift try to get the gift no. What is your
26:24 interest? That is not a bad thing. What are you interested I to learn how to evangelism a
26:31 minute, OK, talk about that. Or you could even say what is my interest? I enjoy these
26:36 hobbies. Will how can they use that in evangelism right now? So the point is that.
26:42 >> If evangelism and that soul winning that personal labor, whatever you want to call it
26:46 is an expectation of every church member, OK, well, then I have to say, well, how it
26:52 how can I go about doing this is not an if. How, and when. What tools continues. Right?
26:58 So now we've taken the option of not doing it off the table. Then how do I start getting
27:01 engaged with it? Well. First of all, like you talk about practice. I don't know why it
27:08 is. couldn't you take us out of the afternoon and get together with your own people
27:13 who aren't, you know, prospective members or new interests or or strangers down
27:17 the road and just get together and say, let's practice, let's iron sharpening iron. Let's
27:21 give Bible studies to each other right? First of all, you're going to be blessed by
27:24 studying the Bible, but you're going to do it in a way that you can prepare to share it
27:29 with someone else and they can give you feedback. And so I don't know why we don't do
27:33 that kind of training in churches and maybe there's a lot of churches to do. But
27:38 when Cisse, why go back to that statement? She said every church should be a training
27:40 school for Christian workers. We have to get in the mindset that church, at least in part,
27:45 is supposed to be school, right? I'm supposed to come to church, not just to receive
27:52 but be trained, equipped, inspired, resourced, whatever to go out and share. I'm going
27:57 to be turned into a just like Jesus said, come follow me. I'll make you become fishers
28:03 of men. So that when when those disciples put down the Nets left the money box,
28:08 right, and follow Jesus. They were just going to watch him work. He was going to train
28:14 them to be If you read to the Gospel record, that's what Jesus is doing over and over
28:21 again with its baptizing are helping feed the 5,000 or working with the groups.
28:24 Whatever was he was doing, he intentionally trained them in it. So by the time we get to
28:31 Luke Chapter 9, he can send them out and give them authority over these things.
28:34 Just like he had done. You're going to start working these lines, too. And that's what
28:39 our churches should be. They should be centers not only for inspiration, but also for
28:43 practical instruction and practice in training and equipping. So that. As a body
28:50 of Christ, we don't have non-functioning members reichen body is working
28:56 together and you mentioned we would. The Bible describes the church as body with many
29:03 moving parts. Anything that's not working. Is dysfunctional. right kind of medical help in
29:09 that respect. And that is that's what the spirit help. So you answer the question.
29:13 How does someone overcome the fear sharing their faith? What steps can I take to start
29:16 sharing my faith? You just answer that are there more ways to witness then other
29:21 than singing or preaching? What a more specific, somewhat specific ways people can tell
29:28 others about Christ. Let's talk about that for just a minute. OK, right then. I
29:34 don't know. I mean, obviously in the context of a public, an evangelistic series where
29:39 worship service is going to be singing. But I don't know a lot of people who go around
29:41 just in the grocery store or, you know that the you know, Secretary of state's office or
29:46 something just singing bursting out in the song or preaching a Big Most
29:51 interactions with people are not in those formal settings, right? So so the real question
29:55 is how can I without having to be have all the, you know, platform invitations in the
30:01 big, you know, structure there. How can I be useful in Seoul, winning and started
30:07 again spiritual traction with people in my own experience. One of the things we talk
30:12 about is when you talk about preparing the soil, transitioning from prep, 2
30:16 seed sowing, OK? A lot of times. We like to talk about. Taking a soil sample or sewing
30:25 test scenes. Okay. So what you can do is if you've got an established friendship or
30:31 you've been working on something and it's like how a transition from the secular to
30:35 the spiritual, how do I make that leap and see if there's an interest there right? You
30:37 don't go from, you know, raking the neighbor's yard to an appeal for her baptism. You
30:43 don't go from one nothing like that. You start gauging their spiritual interest and how do
30:47 you do it? Well, you just so some tests eat, if you will, throw out into the
30:53 conversation. Some spiritual terminologies or if they stalk about, I mean, you can turn
30:57 it. Especially now if you're talking about current events, you know, war in Europe.
31:05 Pandemic fears. You can just mentioned how you know, I agree with you. This is it's
31:13 alarming what's going on. And it's and staff because the Bible actually spoke about
31:15 that. Or our pastor this week was talk about that very thing. And you don't have to
31:21 say like brother, are you ready to give you're not a nice to, you know, making an
31:25 appeal. But you're just mentioning the flow of conversation our church was
31:28 just talking about In fact, we have these meetings coming up and you're sewing seeds now.
31:32 Did you ruin the friendship if they're not interested, though, they're fine. But you
31:38 recognize their soil may not be ready yet for that next step of appeal. But I want to
31:43 keep throwing out tests eaten, laying the groundwork for spiritual interest being
31:45 developed over time. Now, what might happen when they say I heard CERN about this or work,
31:53 we've got a set of meetings coming up in the case that tell me that. You think that
31:56 this virus was in prophecy? Well, the Bible talks about that. And I'm I'm excited
32:02 about learning and myself want to come with it. And all of a sudden you are being a vehicle
32:08 for the very message of this present truth and this and so if you're looking for once,
32:15 you've established those friendship, things and it doesn't take 10 years to make
32:19 a front, you can do it in an afternoon sometime sometime, right? Right. So this idea
32:23 that like, oh, my God, I can't I can't. So now it's too early to know the structure.
32:29 Scripture is so beside all water, so much anytime you have the opportunity. If the
32:32 Lord is leading you and you have the moment, put that in that right. And even if they
32:35 don't respond favorably, not all is lost. Come back and revisit it. But you're
32:41 starting to work around that cycle towards let's say that they. You built a friendship
32:48 of confidence by demonstrating your Christ like sympathy for the right. So a little feet.
32:52 And they say, you know what, I have it. It's interesting. You mention church. I I used to go
32:57 to church, knows a kid. I haven't gone church and how long it's been. You've just
33:06 notice there's an opening to spiritual things. Is late and something in their right to
33:09 look and you can go to the It's like, you know, I tell you what, which would you like
33:14 to come to church or want to what we study the bible maybe going to church is a little
33:16 too intimidating. But I how about this one? I've been taking a course of my in my
33:20 church. And they've been challenging us to go get Bible studies and I've never given a
33:26 Bible study to somebody. I'd love to give one. It sounds like you'd like to study Bible
33:31 and we stay the Bible together. And you prepare that. And then over time, you
33:37 can start growing because the Bible says that as newborn babes of should desired the
33:41 pure milk of the word that we will grow, thereby right? As we watch that happen as we're
33:49 partners with Christ Co labors with him, it will buoy our spirits. It will be an
33:53 encouragement to them. And by God's grace, they will come to the point to say, like, you
33:58 know what I need to I need to commit any dish, a Angeles or that pastor or maybe you in
34:03 the small group and that person studies going make the invitation, they can get their
34:07 life to Jesus. But you've walked through that process as Christ outlined in scripture.
34:12 There's nothing more exciting. Let's throw another one in there sometimes people think
34:17 of it as a roadblock to 2 things that people think of roadblocks and just some tends
34:22 to be this paradigm ideology and approaching evangelists. And some people say, well, if
34:27 I only talk about Jesus will meet on the common level. >> But the moment I say
34:31 auction a prophecy, I might lose them. Talk about that. >> Well, let's talk about
34:36 First of all. Jesus is a doctrine. So means teaching it means truth, right. And Jesus
34:47 said I am the way the truth and the life no man comes a father, but by me. So if we're
34:51 talking, it's like saying, I don't want to talk Bible. I just want to talk about Jesus.
34:55 Well, friends, these are they which testify of me? That's right. That's right. So
35:00 there's I don't know how it's crept into our church conversation, but we need to
35:05 user minds of some of these misunderstandings that you can somehow teach Jesus without
35:08 talking about, like I want to teach the living the living word without the written word.
35:13 And those 2 things aren't supposed to be separated the yeah. I think it came in with
35:17 his ideology because this just boom on the back the 20 or so years ago. But he would say we
35:21 don't teach toxins in our church. We just talk about Jesus and we nondenominational
35:25 whatever the top titles that are given to that. >> You know, it almost played
35:29 on the ideology. This is and we could talk about this an almost played on the ideology
35:34 that if you come here, quote, You don't have to give up anything. You'll find just the
35:38 way you are. You know, we love the way you are with him, but it lead the way you are sure
35:44 this is fear of change. And I think a lot of times people think the moment doctrines and
35:47 to a prophecy enters. I had to give up something and somehow this ideology you speak to
35:54 this. Why do people tend to think of there are any changes that my life has to make. It's
35:59 going to go downhill rather than a pill. I don't know where that's another thing I
36:05 know is come into like, man, I'd love to follow Jesus, but I want my life to be good.
36:10 >> what's better with Jesus? The other stuff as the bad stuff? Jesus is the good part,
36:15 right? Right. And so it's the same thing with doctors like Let's say we only preach Jesus
36:20 then. My next question is, well, what about Jesus? Well, what does Jesus teach about
36:24 this? What is Jesus say about prophecy? By the way, when Jesus preached, what did he
36:28 talk about? Very opens his mouth. talked about the time is at hand the scriptures to
36:33 fulfill. He talks about in prophetic Linger. Expect Desire Bay just page to 33.
36:37 Talks about the Ministry of Jesus and how he preached. All right. Thus, the gospel
36:44 message has given by the savior himself was based on the prophecies. She writes,
36:48 you look at all the New Testament authors, whether she's, of course, the word
36:53 with those who profit talked about Jesus, the Apostle Paul, you talk about PD talk about
36:55 John, the revelator prophecy is all part of this message right? And so what? Let's talk
37:03 for a minute about prophecy in Doctor. Okay. Prophecy. Let's start with that. taunt
37:07 prophecy instead of Well, first of all, it's the revelation of Jesus Christ. So
37:14 it reveals to us Jesus in a way that other things may not try a now. Why is that? When
37:20 we talk about prophecy, we talk about especially time prophecy. We look at the great
37:24 prophecies of Daniel revelation. We look at that mental image, you know, from
37:27 Babylon on down to end of time. And we think a seven-day having this woman familiar
37:32 with that imagery, we're just talk about Daniel. But when people have never had an
37:39 encounter, they've heard of Jesus in a cultural context, one, maybe even in a or to
37:45 contact only small-minded simple backwards on scientific and light. You go down the
37:49 list right? Right. But now all of a sudden. God has demonstrated himself as one
37:57 who can see something before it happens. Call it out and sit back and watch it unfold
38:02 and we think we're talking about metal and images and, you know, being them some
38:08 peace with it. People are realizing have never been exposed to Bible prophecy.
38:12 That you tell me the stuff is real. That there is a God who can say from the beginning,
38:20 what's going to happen in the end? I can see when they start to see that those images an
38:25 for unveiling before their eyes, it prophecies trustworthy, that the signs of
38:29 the times are exactly what I see on my Google news feet that this thing is relevant.
38:34 It's practical. And not only is it real, the dominoes start to then falls like if there's
38:38 a God in his word is true. Then I'm accountable. It. It also done the you don't have
38:46 to draw the lines of application. Holy Spirit is going to take that convincing
38:50 and turn it into convicting a life that I like that domino effect. Could it that it's all
38:56 done And we're thinking, oh, man, they're hearing about me to Persia and Greece their
39:00 past that. And they're hearing about there's a God who's alive, who's real, who was
39:05 then and will be and I'm going to be answered. like all of a sudden.
39:09 >> There's a whole lot going on inside of a person that we may with familiarity.
39:15 >> Not realize the power of but somebody is having an encounter with the living God
39:19 through Bible prophecy, powerful. Wonderfully said some city. smiling about it
39:25 because the fact of the matter is when you get into Bible prophecy, it automatically in
39:32 a short period of time eliminates the idea that this is speculation.
39:37 >> Absolute eliminates the idea that God does not exist because there's no And when
39:41 you look at Jesus, you can separate Jesus from doctor because Jesus didn't separate
39:47 Jesus from doctrine in Jesus didn't separate himself from prophecy. Well, he says and
39:54 they knew or should be teaching in not runs the Commandments of men. You put
39:57 the commands of God by your traditions. So heat, heat, heat heat. He says ear that
40:03 in. So Matthew, 24 look, 16 13 office. See? Yes. To that point. Let's talk about that
40:11 little because inside because people say, well, that's prophecy, but we talk about
40:13 doctrine. But if you notice one of the key things in prophecy when prophecy about
40:18 true thing cast down to the ground. Yes, right. And how babylon's fall. And now
40:22 there's truth in. There's a message that's going up. >> So when we preach the
40:27 distinctive understood by the 7th avenues, churches taught by scripture, we're not doing
40:32 something outside of prophecy, know, actually being fulfillment of prophecy when
40:35 they're seeing babble on fall right before their very eyes, the confusion falls away and
40:41 the truth like a laser beam is hitting into their mind is reaching down to their very
40:44 arrow in their bones right? That when we understand Jesus is alive and well, he's coming
40:51 back soon. And by the way, it's not going to be a secret. The 7 day by the way, is not
40:58 going to be a secret. Exactly. Like thing like use putting all these into your starting
41:02 to unravel some of the things you might have seen before and you're getting the truth as it
41:06 is in Jesus as as seen in fulfill prophecy, you can't take Jesus and prophecy in
41:14 doctrine and separate them is different things. They all go together and that's what the
41:17 Pats have. The word is written and when it's preached in that way, people have an encounter
41:21 with the living. God. That's right. That's it. That's relevant. Very relevant. And
41:26 by the way, going back to my initial questions about Facebook, Twitter and Sudan
41:32 snapped at all those social platforms. They lose relevance when. At the component, we all
41:38 live in a very real world where tomorrow might somebody might say on whatever news
41:42 network. What we predicted about the stock market yesterday was crash today.
41:50 What would happen in the world? If people were able to know. Prediction. With the
41:58 stock market is going to be 5 years from now. Descriptions of saying. That's less
42:05 relevant. The knowing where the world is going to be 5 years from That's so we're
42:12 looking at a not an unpredictable approach. Evangelism and I just want it
42:17 put this together as I've taken from you. Evangelism is not an unpredictable art. It
42:23 is the it is the gift of revealing to people what the Lord has already said. It's
42:28 going to happen. Yes. It's absolutely true. And when people see again, I'll come
42:33 back to that when they see that because the reason we always start with Daniel too,
42:36 but there's a reason we talk about the signs of the end because the answer to the
42:40 question what does the Bible say about filling the blank really doesn't matter if you
42:47 have an established faith in the Bible itself. All right. But when you start to Bible
42:52 prophecy is uniquely suited to address the lingering question, how do I even know
42:57 this thing is trustworthy? How do we know this is real at all? And once you've
43:01 established the trustworthiness of scripture from Bible prophecy, but then
43:06 you start to see that means that Jesus was real. That means his life was real. His
43:11 death was real. It had something to do with me. And in response, I need to like
43:16 all of those connective dot start to come together. Once you build on that framework of
43:21 this Bible is trustworthy and I've seen it for myself by prophecy revealed. That's
43:26 right. And it's not separating Matthew. 24 is not incidental. It's not just a byproduct
43:33 between 23 and 25 right. put it there for a reason. So we as John says. Jesus said, I've
43:39 told you these beforehand so that when it comes to pass, he will exact. I am he there it
43:43 is. These things happening. Leads to you believing that I am. He came in the word of
43:49 God, as you point out. Here's another question that came to us. How can a presenter keep
43:58 the members of his family engaged in evangelism? When they have heard the
44:05 presentations before and the children are at the age, they don't enjoy traveling anymore.
44:08 This seems to be the site on the travel expense of their many home responsibilities to
44:14 pull to spouses into different directions that also causes tension is him fight. The
44:19 enemy is trying to distract by bringing in controversy. This seems like a big picture. Then
44:23 evangelism. Yeah, there's a lot in UK-wide sure where we're headed there with that.
44:27 But it sounds like a church worker who might be engaged in active ministry is being
44:31 pulled in different directions, interaction, that kind of thing. But here's the
44:35 question that I think is very relevant, even though they addressed to me. But I want to
44:38 broaden it to use pastor. John, you mentioned how God works in you and on you and
44:44 through you. How do you know if it is God or yourself? They got as leading you and God is
44:52 working in you? Kuzma on you that I mentioned he worked on me. He works in me. Then he
45:00 walks through me. Okay, as pastor, how do we know that that's happening? obviously,
45:04 if the Lord is doing something, it needs to match up with what he's already
45:09 revealed in his word, try, OK? So if if there's something going in your life, that's
45:13 leading you in a direction. But it's in variance with his word. You can know that that
45:16 is not faith. That is presumption. That's right. That you're leading in the
45:20 Lord. Okay. So clearly the word of God is given to us for just such a thing that we
45:25 won't be tossed back and forth by every when the doctor that comes along right? The first
45:31 thing I ever say to anyone if they're trying to ascertain the will of God in the leading
45:35 of God is compare it to scripture, right? Does anything in your plan that
45:39 you're feeling compelled or lead to do violate the scriptures? Is it out of
45:44 harming with guys revealed word there. Okay. Furthermore. Will it help the cause of God
45:51 with what I'm doing or is it? I'm just for my own benefit. And to be clear, not
45:56 everything. You know, I don't know where we get this idea that the most miserable thing
46:01 must be the thing God wants me to whatever the lowest paying job isn't the worst geography
46:07 or whatever. I don't think that's the case either. So there's nothing wrong with
46:10 evaluating OK, if this is not out of harmony with God's word. It can be a benefit to
46:16 my family. Those things are not necessarily, you know, at odds. In fact, I believe that
46:21 more times than not because got his promise to you live. How about a life and have it
46:25 more abundantly that he wants what's in our best interest for us. So we shouldn't always
46:30 be second guessing. The seams 2 nights. I better not take it. is the first of all. Does
46:33 it comport with the word of God? If there's no contradiction with the word of
46:38 God and what you're feeling led to believe, OK, the night stay put for. But if it's a
46:42 call to ministry or something, I wouldn't say sell the farm and disco show up to the
46:46 conference office door like the Lord has led here. I am. That's the system. talk about
46:50 a self set man right? You want to do is put into practice kind of like the other thing
46:54 is just start saying, well, let me let me start giving some Bible studies. We start
46:58 doing some work with the church a little bit more. Maybe preaching sermons, maybe
47:02 take some more responsibilities in the in the local sphere, which I mean
47:05 right now and just start to see and build some evidence of the lords leading is is he
47:11 going to sift through those and start to leave me in a certain way? is probably a lot
47:14 there when he calls me. And the other thing I want to bring out now that because
47:18 you've actively involved yourself one who isn't often person ministry says have a
47:24 school as well as evangelism. Not only in the Michigan Conference, but talk about
47:28 growth had been a stout org and then days evangelism frequently asked questions.
47:32 Video came into the kind of she had some of these that are available. I want to direct
47:38 you our viewers several websites. Okay. At least a couple. First of all, the
47:43 general conference at a school in person, Ministry's Department has a website
47:46 called Grow Dot Adventist Dot org, OK, and there you're going to talk about what we
47:51 call the growth cycle of evangelism all the way from preparing the soil of heart to
47:57 sowing the seed to cultivating to harvesting and by God's grace, preserving the crop so
48:01 that they in turn will become disciple makers in their own right. So
48:03 >> if you go to grow, dot, Adventists, dot org and you can see the picture on the
48:09 screen there is looking at that cycle of evangelism and all the different pieces in
48:12 phases of it and you'll find inspiration and equipping training resources, tools for
48:19 the different phases of the work there says a great resource from the General
48:24 Conference that was going person minister's Department grow, dot, admin That's number
48:27 one. Okay. Now. Local 7 school person, Mister Department of Michigan, partnered with the
48:35 General Conference to produce a video series called Evangelism F a Q which of
48:40 fake. You means frequently asked questions. Okay Jim Howard, his brother Pastor
48:44 Mark Howerton myself a series of presentations. I think there's 25, 6, 7 of them,
48:52 something like that over 2 dozen different frequently asked questions like some of
48:56 the ones we've had on tonight. What if witnessing is my spiritual gift or isn't that
49:02 the pastor's job or doesn't cost too much money are we just did evangelism? Are we to
49:04 focus you name it. All of those are addressed and in a simple 5 minute or less video
49:12 you can show you can learn for yourself or share them with your friends or even use them
49:18 in your local church contacts, especially as you're starting to stir up love and good
49:22 works. You could have a training series so you can show them and you were sub
49:26 service a part of Saturday school or a special event outside of church service. But
49:32 those resources were put together, not only the videos, by the way, but also

50:16 Now to bring up that graphic one more time and grow your church or this is a beautiful
50:18 graphic. I was just a out the benefit of that. The U.S. if you notice the 5 areas,
50:23 they're just touch on those 5 areas. Very quickly because I love the growth. It's put it
50:28 together in a cycle. Yes, and that's that that core concept of evangelism being a full
50:32 cycle. We want to get that head on right. So that blue icon on top there. That's the
50:37 preparing the soil. And if you look on the side of prepare tab there, yeah. If you were
50:42 to click on that, it will have a drop-down menu and it will sail little blurb about what
50:46 that means to prepare and the resources that you can use to, you know, go through that
50:49 ministry in your own spear of influence personally and your local church and the same
50:54 thing for sowing the see the little brown icon there or the land Green, one for plant for
50:58 cultivating the crop with Bible study. How do you start a Bible study ministry? What
51:03 resources you need, what training is available and so every phase of the the next
51:08 one being the harvest pays the yellow. Their public evangelism is essential to the
51:13 work of evangelism. Obviously. And then finally, disciple ship training. You know,
51:17 preserving preserving the crop because it think about the farmer again, that even the
51:23 backyard gardener, if you have a great crop of tomatoes and he's I look at them. They grew
51:30 a man. Well, they're going to rot on the vine, right? You got to take him in. What
51:33 you're looking for is you want seed for the next and canning for food for yourself. The
51:37 Bible talks about how the the so we'll have seeds for sowing and bred for eating right. And
51:44 I'm so glad it I actually have the website in front of me and I'm Ted touching on the
51:47 different By the way, that picture that you also see in the cycle.
51:51 >> Of the 5 pictures in the grow your church circle. Each one of those are active leaks
51:56 2. Yes, they're very faces beautifully put together past are coming to Beijing as we
52:01 have 5 minutes so. Let's tell that. Pulled us back to the summary is evangelism still
52:08 relevant today? 100% more than ever before. A K a we're living in the very tail
52:13 toenails of time. You know, the very the the the culminating event of the world
52:17 are a bit. >> Being more and more clearly evidence all the time. And if
52:23 there was ever a time to preach our message, it's right now, you know, used to I
52:27 talked about this earlier, but it used to be even in my preaching talk the signs of
52:35 the times. You have to recommend it. When was the last time there is a big you
52:37 know this or a World War, friends that day is going easier than ever before to
52:44 preach the prophecies and say just open your eyes but look around. In fact, many of the
52:48 people there because they're seeing the sign, right? And they're looking for answers
52:51 right? So people are coming. There is a deep unsettling in people souls as they have,
52:59 whether it's economic or military medical, whatever the issues are, societal issues
53:04 writ large are driving. People think something isn't right in the world. And this is the
53:10 prime time to strike. When the iron is hot. They're already thinking along those lines. We
53:13 might as well if they're asking the questions, we might as well get answers from God's
53:17 word, right? We don't have to worry about what's next when the Bible reveals what's name
53:22 in in the specificity of it is just the evidence that the Bible is the inspired book.
53:26 >> Linked to a living what about those who But the second thing is likely with audience.
53:32 First of all, the evangelism still relevant. Second thing can everybody Can everybody
53:39 involved? Everybody needs to get involved. need everybody. It's not just OK, but it's
53:44 expected. It's a it's a dire need. We need more frontline workers. You know, and you
53:48 know, it talks about in the reference in First Corinthians chapter 12 to the body of
53:54 Christ and illustrations. Always a hand or foot or the eye. Those are visible,
53:56 prominent pieces, but, you a couple years ago, I had a spontaneous pneumothorax,
54:03 which is the collapsing along just on its own. And I didn't ever think about my long too
54:08 much until one working. And was like, man, I need this thing to work real quick and
54:13 they put it, you faith but a line right through my rib cage and expanding my long back on
54:17 boy hurt. But, you know, in First Corinthians 12, 22 it talks about how those pieces
54:24 of the body, those parts that we think are weaker are actually vital. They're the
54:31 church has plenty of evangelist and front-line workers and paid employees.
54:35 And if God is calling the full-time ministry, praise the Lord, I don't want to diminish
54:38 that at all. But we have to disabuse our mind of the idea that if I'm not a hand foot or
54:45 we're fine, not an evangelist, a minister or teacher, then I'm not do friends everyone.
54:51 And that he sought from scripture. The purpose of having those positions in the
54:54 church is to help all of us do our work. That is an expectation and a privilege
55:00 that every one of us has to be Co labors with Christ and giving this message to the
55:04 world. So that their question to what wrap it up should evangelism be public, a
55:09 personal or public and personal. Yes, the question is should eventually be personal
55:14 or public. And answer is, yes, it should be every all points in between. We should have
55:20 individual labors out there winning souls, talking their friends, building those
55:23 relationships, offering the Bible studies inviting the church means and we need good
55:28 public evangelists and good quality advertisements in good meetings that spend good money
55:30 on these things. So that all of it when a sister wife talked about when both are
55:35 more thorough work may be wrought. Okay. And what I don't think I asked during the
55:39 night, but as a possible to get a Bible study. If you don't ask someone to study the
55:45 Bible, I'm sure the Lord can do something right by but not often that you see him lift
55:51 the Philip in the Ethiopian thing. Go take over that chariot right? But great
55:56 miracle is just ask, just start talking to people start stirring the pot of interest.
56:01 There and the Lord will give opportunity if you ask him, say Lord, I'm willing to go. I
56:08 don't think he's going to disappoint on the other end by giving you plenty of
56:10 opportunity. And if you ask, people will be surprised. House receptive. They are to
56:16 present truth. Well, I want to let our audience and he was known. Thank you, Pastor
56:19 Camera coming tonight and bless you. In the Michigan Conference, you guys are doing
56:24 a tremendous work working along not only with the union and vandalism in general, but
56:28 the church at margin. Thank you for the work and your dedication to it. And and

56:53 yes, you can be involved when you go in the power of Christ, many souls will calm and the
