FIRST CENTURY EVANGELISM

Synagogue Preaching:


Acts 3:11; 5:20-21, 25; 13:5, 14; 18:5; 19:8
Paul’s Preaching:

Saw himself as a steward, not an agent of reconciliation; a herald, to carry and deliver Another’s message (2 Tim.
1:11; 1 Thess. 2:7)

Saw his primary task as teaching the truth of Christ; euangelizomai teaching the good news from God. Unfolding
the spiritual facts. Appointed as a preacher and teacher (2 Tim. 1:10)

Saw his ultimate aim as seeing converts come to faith in Christ; 3 times the verb epistrepho is translated ”convert”
where the subject of the verb is the preacher NOT God. Lk 1:16- John the Baptist; Jas. 5:19- faithful one helping
another; Acts 26:17- Paul and Agrippa.

Evangelism does include endeavors toward conversion:

An attempt to gain, or win,or catch fellow men (1 Cor. 9:19; 1 Pet. 3:1; Lk. 5:10)
FIRST CENTURY EVANGELISM

Jail or Apprehension Preaching:


Acts 4 (Peter & John); 5(Peter & others); 6 & 7 (Stephen).
From House to House:

Acts 2:42; 5:42; 10:22; 20:20

Jason’s home (Acts 17); Titius Justus (Acts 18:7); Phillip’s home (Acts 21:8; Cornelius’ home (Acts 10)’
Lydia’s home (Acts 16:40); Philippian jailor’s home (Acts 16:34)


Scattered Abroad; Open Air & Everywhere

Acts 8:, 25ff. those scattered went about preaching the word

Acts 14 & 17 Lyconia, Lystra & Derbe – Mars Hill
Summary: The chief agents in the expansion of Christianity were not “full time Apostles” but
rather ordinary men and woman as they carried out their livelihood spoke of the faith to those
around them!!!
MODERN ERA EVANGELISM - 1800-1900




Overall Effect of Crusade Evangelism

Here’s Life campaign of mid 70s: 97 of 100 decisions were never incorporated into the church.

1. GRACE.
• Heaven is a free gift, not earned
or deserved. Romans 6:23, Eph
2:8-9.
5. FAITH.
2. MAN.
• Faith is not mere intellectual
assent or temporary belief. It is
trusting in Jesus Christ alone for
our salvation. Eph 2:8, Acts 16:31.
• Man is a sinner, cannot save
himself. Rom 3:23 and Matt 5:48.
4. CHRIST.
3. GOD.
• The infinite God-man. He died to
pay for our sins and to purchase
a place in Heaven for us which
He offers as a free gift. John
1:1,14; 20:28.
• God is merciful and therefore
does not want to punishes. But
He is also just, and therefore must
punish our sin. Jeremiah 31:3 and
Exodus 34:7.
• (1 Jn 1:5; Ps.
100:3)
• (Acts 17:30;
1 Jn 1:9; Jn
1:12; Rev.
3:20)
• James 2:10;
Ps. 14:2-3)

holy, just, and
loving creator

rebelled and
broken God’s
law

Response:
Repent
(confess),
believe, receive

Reconciles
messed up (lost)
people to their
creator by
his death
• (Rom 5:6-8)
3. Jesus’ solution –
restored
relationship
through his death
and
resurrection
(Rom. 5:8; I Pet.
2:24)
1. Jesus’
description of
human race –
separated from
Maker (Isa. 53:6;
Rom. 3:11-12)
2. Jesus’ diagnosis of
condition – disease of sin has
separated us (Mk 7:15)

heart, confess

Preparing to Share the Gospel
1- Pray
2- Be led by the HS
Operate out of love, not legalism –pure heart & forgiven life

4- Memorize the scriptures / structure of presentation
Four Spiritual Laws
LAW ONE God
loves you and has
a wonderful plan
for your life.
2. LAW TWO Man is
sinful and
separated from
God. Therefore , he
can not know and
experience God’s
love and plan for
his life.
4. LAW FOUR We
must individually
receive Jesus Christ
as Savior and Lord.
Then we can know
and experience
God’s love and
plan for our lives.
3. LAW THREE 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.

PERSPECTIVES ON SUCCESS/FAILURE
1. Even Jesus did not convince everyone to believe in his Good
News, yet he could report: “I did everything you told me to do.”
2. All Christ asks is for obedience, not results (command is not to
convert, but to bear witness / spread Gospel)
3. Lack of positive response is not failure – still preparing soil
4. Success in witnessing is simply taking the initiative to share Christ in
the power of the Holy Spirit, and leaving the results to God.

THE EXCUSES OF MOSES (AND US)
EXODUS 3:10-4:17
Moses at the burning bush
Exodus
Moses
3:10-4:17
is 80 years old (Ex. 7:7, Acts 7:30) and
tending the sheep of Jethro
He
sees a burning bush that is not consumed
The
Lord commissions Moses to deliver His
people
Moses begins making excuses
Please send
Who am I? (Ex.
someone else
3:11-12)
(Ex. 4:13-17)
I am not
What shall I say?
eloquent (Ex.
(Ex. 3:13-22)
4:10-12)
What if they don’t
believe (Ex. 4:1-9)
Some of the excuses we make to keep us from reaching
others are similar to those of Moses on that occasion.
 Who
am I?
 Moses
 Many
 You
 “I

will be with you” – 1 Pet. 2:9-10, Matt. 28:20,

Know and speak first principles – 1 Cor. 15:1-4

In Survey, most people do not know much of scripture.

Find the answer!

How long is this excuse valid?

Will we work to be more proficient?
 What
if they don’t believe me?

we don’t have miracles like Moses, we have the word

it speak! Rom. 1:16, 10:17, John 20:30-31
 There
are resources available “What is that in your hand?”
 Don’t
take rejection personal! Just move on - Luke 9:3-5,
John 15:20
 Your
job – Ezek. 3:16-21,
1 Cor. 3:5-8

I am slow of speech

Some don’t think they are good orators. Can’t defend the truth!

Again, let God’s word speak!
1 Cor. 2:1-5

Moses was given Aaron. We have seasoned brethren who can help! Just ask!
Acts 10:24, 33

I don’t want to go

Closer to the real reason.

This angered God. It did not excuse Moses. He still had to go!

So do we. We have responsibilities Eph. 4:16, Titus 2:14

We will stand before God and answer!
IF YOU DON’T GO, WILL GOD
ACCEPT YOUR EXCUSES?
No interest or commitment for the lost:
 Seeking and saving was the primary concern of Jesus Christ. (Lk. 19:10)
2. Lack of love and obedience to God
 The parable of talents (Matt. 25:14-30). The master dealt with the servants
individually, not as a group.
 Go therefore and make disciples… (Matt. 28:18-20).
3. Waiting for the Church to organize programs
4. Improper attitude towards PE:
 People are filled with ego and self-righteousness. (Lk.18:9-14).
 Having the attitude of prodigal son’s elder brother (Lk. 15:25-32).
5. Wasting our time over worthless things:
 PE needs sufficient time for serious discussions.
 People find more convenience in just merely talking and in their houses
watching TV.
6. Many Christians argue over silly matters or non-essential doctrines.
1.
7. Lack of assurance of Salvation
8. Feeling of inadequacy and unworthiness
9. Lack of knowledge of God

Some examples of PE
Philip: (Acts 8:26-40):
When God sent orders for Philip to leave Samaria and go to the
1.
road that led from Jerusalem to Gaza, he obeyed. (Acts 8:26-27).

Even though he had great success in Samaria, when he was
commanded to leave he went.

He left Samaria and travelled about 50 miles for one lost soul.

He is willing to leave the crowds for one individual.
2.
Philip was unprejudiced for Ethiopian eunuch who was still
considered as an outcast.
- Without hesitation, Philip was willing to teach gentile (Acts 8:27).
- We must be colour blind in doing PE.
3.
When the Holy Spirit told Philip to join the Chariot, Philip ran to him.
(Acts 8:29)
- He knew the urgent need of the man.
- He did not waste time
- This kind of enthusiasm is desperately needed today.
(Acts 8:31-35)
1)
Start the discussion with a question:
- Philip asked “do you understand?”
- The questions showed real concern.
- Questions arouse greater interest in study and discussion.
2)
Philip was thorough in the Scriptures:
- When Ethiopian asked certain questions, Philip knew them and referred the
Scriptures and connected well to Jesus.
- PE worker should be effective teachers and must know the Scriptures well.
- We are not to give our opinions or feelings.
- After baptizing the Ethiopian, Philip went on his way preaching to
others (Act 8:40).
Personal evangelism was the pattern of life for those who
experienced salvation.

Andrew shared it with his brother Simon Peter

Philip found Nathaniel and told him about Jesus

After Pentecost the Christians witnessed daily.

I am not ashamed of the
gospel, because it is the
power of God for the
salvation of everyone
who believes…
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me…
Because He has anointed me to Bring Good News to the Poor
He has sent me to Proclaim Release to the Captives
And Recovery of Sight to the Blind
To let the Oppressed Go Free
To proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.
Luke 4:18,19 (NRSV)
… For I was hungry and you gave me food,
I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink,
I was a stranger, and you welcomed me,
I was naked and you gave me clothing,
I was sick and you took care of me,
I was in prison and you visited me…
Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of
these who are members of my family, you did it to me.
