E33: Show Me Your Glory
Evangelism — Why We Are Here
Colossians 4:2–6; II Kings 7

If you are a follower of Christ, you have a story.
Do you know how to share your story?

The Ministry of Evangelism begins with God.
Our Part:

• Pray Persistently (v. 2)
• Pray Purposefully (v. 2)
• God's Part: “Open Doors” (Acts 14:27, 16:14;
  I Corinthians 16:19; II Corinthians 2:12;
  Revelation 3:7)
• Our Part:
• Be Clear (vs. 3–4)
• Be Wise (v. 5)
• Be Graceful (v. 6)
• God's Part
  Application:

1. Write out your testimony (story). After you have written it in full, reduce it to where you can share it in 3 minutes.

2. In II Kings 7 we see four lepers who have fallen into incredibly good fortune. What was their response to what God had done for them?

3. There is tension between the sovereignty of God and the responsibility of man when it comes to evangelism. What is our part and what is God's part? What is the sinner's
   part?

4. Are you currently praying for someone who is not yet a follower of Christ? Are you sharing your faith with that person, or any others,
   on a regular basis?

5. The scripture tells us to “redeem the time.”
   How does that work in relation to evangelism?
