The Soul Winning Life

2 Timothy 2:8, “Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, descended from David. This is my gospel.” Jesus Christ is the beginning and the end of the gospel and He fills every part of it.  If I could summarize the gospel to just one word it would be, “Jesus.”  There has never been any person…

Acts 5:42, “Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Messiah.” Preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ is the central theme of the entire book of Acts.  The name “Acts” comes from the shortened name, “The Acts of…

1 Thessalonians 2:4, “On the contrary, we speak as those approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel. We are not trying to please people but God, who tests our hearts.” Other than Jesus, Paul is the most significant person in the New Testament concerning the gospel.  In his book to the Romans, he…

Galatians 1:6-7, “6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel — 7 which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel…

Acts 19:20, “In this way the word of the Lord spread widely and grew in power.” Never before have we seen the gospel spreading faster and more effectively across the world than we are right now.  Just like in the book of Acts the gospel net is spreading wide and growing by the power of…

Acts 16:31, “They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved— you and your household.” Salvation is a personal decision that can only be made by an individual who desires to place their full trust in the gospel of Jesus Christ.  At the same time, God “wants all people to be saved…

Luke 14:23, “Then the master told his servant, ‘Go out to the roads and country lanes and compel them to come in, so that my house will be full.” Some “well intentioned Christians” have said that though all believers are to preach the “message” of Jesus, not everyone is commanded to follow His “method of…

2 Timothy 4:5, “But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry.” As an overseeing elder in the church for over 15yrs I will now share the top five excuses I have heard to not street witness over the years by…

John 1:45, “Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law, and about whom the prophets also wrote —Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.” The most effective way to see people come to Christ is through personal relationships.  In the above passage Philip invited his friend…

Mark 16:17, “And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues…” When God choose Moses to be His representative He gave him miraculous signs to verify the message, Exodus 4:1-9.  The same is true when Jesus in the above passage spoke to…
