Study

  1. Isaiah 43:1-2, Prov 3:25-26 It is not Gods will for us as Christians to be afraid, or to be controlled by fear.
    1. Matt 28:18-20, Romans 10:13-15 God has called everyone of us as Christians to evangelize and share our faith with those who are around us.
      1. Isaiah 6:8, Jude 1:23 Evangelism is not just the work of pastors, God has called all of us as Christians to evangelize and reach the world around us with the gospel.
      2. Mark 13:11, Isaiah 50:4 Many youth are afraid to evangelize because they are afraid they don’t have the right words or they are afraid others won’t listen to them.
    2. Psalms 91:5-11 There are many others who are afraid to leave their personal comfort zones, afraid to go outside of the 4 walls of the church, and many are afraid to share Christ in the streets, or in their schools because they are afraid something may happen to them.
  2. Romans 10:13-15, Matt 14:29-31 The way we overcome our fear of evangelism is to directly confront our fear of evangelism and go out and share Christ with others.
    1. 2 Timothy 4:2 We need to be willing to look for every opportunity to evangelize those in our schools, neighborhoods, and work who do not know Christ.
      1. Acts 1:8 We also need to be willing to go out on the streets and door to door to as well as on mission trips to share Christ with those who are unsaved or backslidden.
      2. Prov 28:1 We need to be fearless and direct, ready to share the message of salvation through Christ, offer to pray them through the sinners prayer to accept Christ and then follow up with them by inviting them to your church and Crossfire cell group!
    2. 2 Tim 1:7, Phil 4:13 The devil wants to control us with fear, keep us quiet in our faith so less people around us escape hell and go to heaven, but as we confront our fear, and step out in faith God will anoint us with power and people will accept Christ! #Unstoppable

 

 

Discussion

 

  1. Why do you think so many people are afraid to step out and evangelize and share Christ with others?
  2. Can you share a testimony of a time you overcame your fear and stepped out and shared Christ with someone who was unsaved or backslidden? What impact did this have on you?
  3. What fear has tried to hold you back from stepping out and sharing Christ with others? What steps are you taking to overcome your fear of evangelism?
  4. Who are some people you know who need to accept Christ? What is your plan to share Christ with them, and invite them to your church and cell group?

 

 

End: Pray for any who need to overcome the fear of evangelism and step out and share Christ with others, pray for any who need to accept Christ, then take prayer requests.
