Body Mode Evangelism

Successful Evangelism is
1) Presenting the gospel
2) in the Spirit
3) and leaving the results to God


The body of Christ (the Church) works to rescue people from sin.
-The body does work (John 10 – Jesus bringing in his flock)
-spiritual gifts (Eph. 4) – evangelists and equipping all the saints
-speech (col 4:6, eph 5:16)
-love for each other (john 17:20, 21)
-being enjoyable and culturally sensitive to outsiders so that the doctrine looks good (Tit. 2:1-10)
-grace present in the Church through the Spirit’s working (Heb. 6)
-suffering (1 peter 4:13-; Col. 1:24-)
-the word spoken! (eph 4:15, 2 tim 4:1-4)

Practical Application
-parties(!)
-invitiation (including in ministry mode!)
-bible studies/cru/church
-how we lead and teach bible studies(!)
