Message Notes

But I Don't Want to be a Sidewalk Preacher!


American churchgoers believe they should share their faith, but the majority never do, according to recent LifeWay Research. The vast majority of those polled (80 percent) agreed that sharing their faith is an important part of discipleship, and 75 percent of them feel comfortable that they are able to communicate the gospel well, but more than 60 percent haven't done so in the past six months, and nearly half (48 percent) have never invited anyone to attend a church service or program.


Ways to Share Your Faith

1. Your __________________________________________

So Paul stood in the midst of the Areopagus and said, "Men of Athens, I observe that you are very religious in all respects. For while I was passing through and examining the objects of your worship, I also found an altar with this inscription, 'TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.' Therefore what you worship in ignorance, this I proclaim to you. Acts 17:22-23 (NIV)


2. Your _________________________________

Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 5:16 (NIV)


3. Your ____________________

Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity. 1 Timothy 4:12 (NIV)

By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another. John 13:35 (NIV)



4. Your ___________________

And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. Mark 16:15 (NIV)

This Week the message is But I Don't Want to be a Sidewalk Preacher! Whenever we talk about evangelism it seems like we imagine the worst case. Telling people about God should be something we look forward to doing, not something we dread. Bill Aumack will share some easy ways to share your faith in this message.

Next Week the message is Choose Wisely. While we live in a great country with many freedoms, our most cherished freedom is our right to worship. God has given us a free will to love and worship Him, and we should be grateful that our country values our right to do the same.


June Abundant Giving: Wells - For $50 you can provide a well in village where there is not currently a well. You can give any amount, $0.50, $5, $50 or $500. The important part is to remember how generous God has been to you and to be generous to others. Total so far $2583.

Remember our Church Budget. We are running a negative balance. We appreciate your faithfulness.

Message Notes

Today's Man


1. Be A Man Of Action

I searched for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand in the gap before Me for the land, so that I would not destroy it; but I found no one. Ezekiel 22:30


2. Protect Those That Can't Protect Themselves

Open your mouth for the mute, for the rights of all the unfortunate. Open your mouth, judge righteously, and defend the rights of the afflicted and needy. Proverbs 31:8-9 (ESV)


3.  Have Integrity

keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander.  1 Peter 3:16


4. Stand Strong

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain.  1 Corinthians 15:58 (ESV)


5. It's Okay To Cry

Jesus wept.  John 11:35


6. Stay Humble

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves.  Philippians 2:3


7. Real Men Love Jesus

But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Matthew 6:33 (ESV)

God's Errands

11 Next to him was Shammah son of Agee the Hararite. When the Philistines banded together at a place where there was a field full of lentils, Israel's troops fled from them. 12 But Shammah took his stand in the middle of the field. He defended it and struck the Philistines down, and the LORD brought about a great victory. 2 Samuel 23:11-1


6 Jonathan said to his young armor-bearer, "Come, let's go over to the outpost of those uncircumcised men. Perhaps the LORD will act in our behalf. Nothing can hinder the LORD from saving, whether by many or by few."
7 "Do all that you have in mind," his armor-bearer said. "Go ahead; I am with you heart and soul."
8 Jonathan said, "Come on, then; we will cross over toward them and let them see us. 9 If they say to us, 'Wait there until we come to you,' we will stay where we are and not go up to them. 10 But if they say, 'Come up to us,' we will climb up, because that will be our sign that the LORD has given them into our hands."
11 So both of them showed themselves to the Philistine outpost. "Look!" said the Philistines. "The Hebrews are crawling out of the holes they were hiding in." 12 The men of the outpost shouted to Jonathan and his armor-bearer, "Come up to us and we'll teach you a lesson."
So Jonathan said to his armor-bearer, "Climb up after me; the LORD has given them into the hand of Israel."
13 Jonathan climbed up, using his hands and feet, with his armor-bearer right behind him. The Philistines fell before Jonathan, and his armor-bearer followed and killed behind him. 14 In that first attack Jonathan and his armor-bearer killed some twenty men in an area of about half an acre.
15 Then panic struck the whole army--those in the camp and field, and those in the outposts and raiding parties--and the ground shook. It was a panic sent by God.  1 Samuel 14:6-15


16 Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to him, "King Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. 17 If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and he will deliver us[c]from Your Majesty's hand. 18 But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up."  Daniel 3:16-18

Message Notes

God's Masterpiece
For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:10

As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. Ephesians 2:1-2

All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. Ephesians 2:3

Man can shape circumstances, but circumstances should not be allowed to shape the man. We should seize upon circumstances as instruments by which to work. We are to master them, but should not permit them to master us. Messages to Young People pg 194.

But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions-it is by grace you have been saved. Ephesians 2:4-5

And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2:6-7

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by works, so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:8-9

For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:10
