THE GOSPEL

God loves us so much that He created a perfect world for us to live in, but humans chose their own way, and this sin separates us from God.  God sent Jesus, out of His love, to rescue us from this separation.  Jesus lived a perfect life, died on the cross, and rose in three days to make the way for us to have a relationship with God.  When we believe in Jesus, we become new creations that grow in faithfulness and holiness for the rest of our lives.

16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.   JOHN 3:16

GOSPEL CONVERSATIONS

Sharing your faith is simpler than you think! Keep these two truths in mind.
Gospel conversations can happen at any place at any time.  
  1. When given the opportunity to share Jesus, take it because you are salt and light and are here to share the grace and truth of God.  (Matthew 5:13-16)
  2. When asked why you go to church tell them about your need for a Savior and how you have believed in Jesus. (John 14:6)
  3. When others see that you are good even when you are going through difficulties, point to Jesus as the reason for your hope. (2 Timothy 4:2)
  4. When someone shares a struggle, ask if you can pray with them because you know that God loves us and has met our greatest need in Jesus. (John 3:16)
  5. When others see you living differently and ask about it, tell them of your faith in Jesus and God is changing you as His Spirit works in you. (Galatians 5:22-23)
Gospel conversations happen over time.  Use these questions to guide your conversations.
  1. Why do you need a Savior?
  2. What do you know about Jesus?
  3. What did Jesus do to be your Savior?
  4. Are you ready to believe in Jesus?
