o Summarize evangelism in the early church. o How did Jesus approach evangelism? o How did the disciples approach evangelism?
• What do you see in today's local church that is similar or different from the early church?

Evangelism in the early church is very different from evangelism today. In the Early Church, the bible says that “All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had. With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus.” (Acts 4:32-35). So we see that there was unity in the church and the church shared everything with each other. David wheeler writes that the church did not hide or run from the unsaved world. They were not afraid to be with other people but were out braking bread daily with all people. The early church relied on the Holy Spirit and was lead by Him. David Wheeler writes that the Holy Spirit was the motivating power of the early church .Also the early church was consistent with the message of the gospel. They did not change the gospel or twist the truth so others would not get offended. They early church was filled with boldness (Acts 4:31). Wheeler and Earley shows us a very effective way in which Jesus approaches evangelism. Jesus first approach is steeping out of his comfort zone and takes the initiative to talk to the Samaritan woman, not caring about being His hunger and being tired. He also crosses the ethnic barriers to talk to her, specially in those

    A great chasm exists that separates unbelievers from believers1. An example of this chasm is presented in the Gospel of Luke, “And in hell he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off and Lazarus in his bosom.”2 The chasm is presented in the “afar off” statement. This chasm, as pointed out by David Wheeler and Richard Leach, is what makes evangelism necessary. Essentially, every Christian is to seek a way to bridge these chasms bringing the unbeliever face-to-face with their Creator3. In order to perform this great task, and the task was as great in the Apostles’ day as today, “Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest”4 the Christian servant today must rely on the Lord in every aspect and seek out opportunities to present Christ to those around him. Seeing then that there is such great work ahead, and the laborers have been assigned their task, “For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him”5, the only success to be found is through sharing the faith by the Word of God through the Spirit…

    William Fay begins the book, Share Jesus Without Fear by pointing out the underlying reason for evangelism. He argues that evangelism is not about bringing people to Jesus or “winning souls” but it is about obedience (p.3), motivated by faithfulness. Fay challenges believers about their “sin of silence” by pointing out that only five to ten percent of Christians have shared their faith in the past year (p.6). He argues that there are two groups of Christians: those who talk to the lost and lose who only talk about the lost (p.8). He encourages believers to talk to the lost and avoid the “sin of silence” and the lack of urgency concerning evangelism.…

    The New Testament begins with Paul’s three missionary journeys, in which his mission was to plant churches and teachings about the Lord. It is safe to say there were many other great church planters after the death of the apostle Paul, such as Peter and John. I plan to elaborate on the main issues facing each of the churches addressed by the General Epistles.…

    According to C.E. Autrey, “Old Testament evangelism was largely a matter of revivals; there were no personal efforts on the part of anyone to win converts.”25 The author believed, Old Testament revivals were not revivals in the sense, in which today’s communities view them. Autrey proclaimed, the spiritual revivals in the history of Judah and Israel, during the times of the Old Testament’s prophets, kings, patriarchs, and scribes, were at an all-time decline constantly.26 On the other hand, according Autrey, the New Testament demonstrated a full approach to an evangelistic ministry.27 He continued, “The Apostle Paul and many of the other apostles, used writing, as well as mass and personal evangelism, to further spiritual conquest.”28…

    The Gospels of the New Testament contain 39 different parables told by Jesus (Phillips 2004, 18-19) and no doubt he spoke many more during his ministry. Jesus’ choice to use parables to teach his people is one that has intrigued many people throughout history. The aim of this essay is to get to discover why he chose to use those parables, and also what we can learn from this teaching method when evangelising today.…

    Evangelion (ευαγγέλιοv) is a Greek word which means Gospel, or an act of proclaiming the good news. When we speak of Gospel, we mean the four Gospel, which include: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

    Methods to Evangelism

    Part ONE - Evangelistic Method #1 - There are spiritual laws that governs are relationship with God. These laws were given in different throughout the Bible. Law one: God loves you, and offers a wonderful plan for your life. In John 3:16 says, “God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life” In this verse gave us the solution to all of our problems, He loves us so much He gave us a way out from all of our sins. This was Jesus plan when He came to Earth, in John 10:10 says, “I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly”. The reason most people don’t experience an abundant life is because of the second law. Law two: Man is sinful and separated from God. Therefore he cannot know and experience God’s love and plan for his life. In Roman’s 3:23 says, “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” This verse alone states that everyone is a sinner, and everyone fall short of the glory of God. When Adam chose to go on his own independent way, the fellowship with God was broken. Sin became are natural nature in our lives, this is why there’s no one righteous through the eyes of God. In Roman 6:23 says, “The wages of sin is death” meaning we are spiritually separated from God. The third law is the only way we could be righteous through the eyes of God. Third law: Jesus Christ is God’s only provision for man’s sin. Through him you can know and experience God’s love and plan for your life. In Roman 5:8, “God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us”. Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation, he states this in John 14:6 which says, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life, no one comes to the Father but through Me”. God sent His son to break the barriers that separates God from men. Jesus Christ died on the cross to pay our debt. But there’s still one more important law in…

    Many people believe that there is no specific call to spread the word of God throughout the world claiming that in contrast to the New Testament, the prophets in the Old Testament were simply passive examples of God’s message rather than active missionaries. However, in order to truly see the call to evangelization, we must realize that the Old Testament is a kind of story-book with a bunch of…

    When Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire under Constantine, the face of the church began to change. During this period, it began to be emphasized what happened in the physical building or service was considered “church.” Today, especially in the western world, this is still a struggle to get people to consider the church the people and their mission rather than have a come type of attitude where the people should come to this building and become a part of what we are doing. People generally feel that unless you go into a church building with a pulpit and pews, you are not going to church. Nevertheless, a church could meet anywhere and then emphasize a go out type of attitude to do the mission of the church of making disciples for Christ.…
