Most of us struggle with sharing the Gospel. We aren’t sure how. We’re intimidated. It can feel inappropriate and intrusive. Do they really want to hear this from me? So maybe we need to step back and re-learn how to share. Paul writes, “We loved you so much that we shared with you not only God’s Good News but our own lives, too” (1 Thessalonians 2:8 NLT). This is his mission strategy, to not only share the Gospel but to share his life with others as well. For Paul, sharing the gospel is not about stopping random people on the street or going up to the coworker or classmate he’s never talked to before and launching into a sermon. It’s about sharing his whole life with others. Join Damascus Road as we explore what it really means to share the Gospel with others. We’ll examine what the Bible teaches us about partnering with God and understanding properly what we are and are not responsible for. Let us learn how to not only share God’s good news but our own lives as well.
Week 1 // Building Trust
Before we can tell anyone anything, they need to trust us. They need to see that we are trustworthy, that we mean what we say and believe it ourselves. For too many, the fact that we are Christians makes us untrustworthy. They’ve been judged and rejected by Christians. They’ve seen Christians preach generosity and humility from grand stages before leaving in a private jet. They’ve heard of Christians teaching love for one another only to be fired for mistreating their employees. People won’t listen to the Good News we have to share with them if they do not trust us.
