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.

Vacation Bible School is July 16-22. If you would like to help, please talk to Bill or Linda. We need kitchen volunteers to prepare the food and clean up. Also, please sign up to bring some food in the foyer. Thanks!
