Highlights of this Sermon Series:
Discipleship & Evangelism:
Effective evangelism flows out of faithful discipleship.
Discipleship: following Jesus by faith in obedience to God's word, in the power
of the Holy Spirit, and thru the fellowship and witness of the Church.
Evangelism: Evangel means "the gospel or good news" (Mk 1:1, Rom 1:1, 1Cor 15:1);
from the Greek word euangelion (good news). Evangelist means "messenger or
preacher of the gospel" (Eph 4:11). Angel means "messenger" in the Greek (Luke 2:9-10),
hence "ev angel ist". Evangelism means "proclaiming or preaching the gospel"
(Mt 11:5; 1Co 15:1). Evangelical means "characterized by the gospel" (the evangel).
Engaging the Culture & Preaching the Cross:
Living and thinking like missionaries and a missional church.
Engaging the Culture: (see 1Cor 9:19ff) Becoming all things to all people through all
means for the purpose of leading sinners to saving faith in Christ.
Preaching the Cross: (see Rom 1:16ff; 1Co 1:17-2:5) Proclaiming the gospel as God's
power to save and transform sinners thru the cross (and that He often chooses the lowly of
this world for Himself/as His witnesses). The message of the cross is offensive to a spiritually blind
and rebellious world (the cross is a stumbling block and foolishness to those who refuse to
believe, due to its intrinsic humility, weakness, shame, surrender, suffering and death).
The Gospel: The good news of Jesus Christ...
which is "the embracing category that holds much of the Bible together, and takes
Christians from lostness and alienation from God all the way through conversion and
discipleship to the consummation, to resurrection bodies, and to the new heaven and the
new earth." ---D.A. Carson (NT Scholar, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School).
