The five steps of Evangelism

Intro: What is one gift would you like to receive for Christmas this year?

Study

  1. Mt 28:18-20, Acts 1:8, 1 Tim 4:12-13 The Bible tells us to go into all the world and preach the Gospel, this command is for all Christians
    1. Acts 2:1-4, Acts 2:40-41 The purpose of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit was to anoint the Christians to reach souls for Christ.
      1. Isaiah 50:4, Mt 10:19-20 The holy spirit will empower us, and give us the right words to speak every time we step out in faith to share Christ with others.
      2. Rev 2:4 Many Christians have forsaken evangelism, and many churches no longer have alter calls, or even an opportunity to accept Christ.
    2. Prov 4:27, 1 Pet 5:8 satan is distracting Christians and churches from our purpose, Evangelism, and filling our time with compromise and political correctness.
  2. Rom 10:14, Acts 28:31 As we begin this new series on evangelism, we want to review the Crossfire five step evangelism method:
    1. #1 Introduction: We need to introduce ourselves, and initiate a conversation.
      1. #2 Start a conversation: We should ask their names, and other questions, entering into a conversation about any topic.
      2. #3 Bring God into the conversation: We then look for ways to bring God into the conversation, and find out if they are right with God.
    2. #4 The sinners prayer (Rom 10:9, Acts 16:30) If they are open, we need to ask them if they want to accept Christ, then have them repeat the sinners prayer, the prayer is “I confess that im a sinner, I repent of my sins, Jesus I accept you as my savior, thank you for dying on the Cross for my sins and being my savior”.
      1. #5 Follow up: Get their contact information, and invite them to Church, and to Crossfire Cell Groups, be sure to follow up with them the next week.

Discussion

  1. Can you share a time when you stepped out in Faith to share Christ with someone? What happened?
  2. What are some of the things that distract both Christians, and churches from focusing on evangelism the way God intends?
  3. What steps can we take that will help us stay focused on evangelism, and winning souls to Christ, rather than being distracted?
  4. Who are some people you know need to accept Christ? What is your plan to share Christ with them, invite them to your Church, as well as to Crossfire Cell groups?

End: Pray for those who need to accept Christ, pray for an unsaved people your cell group is reaching out to, invite people to your church, then take requests.
