Pastor Jay and Tammy Hoskins ministered from 10/9-10/12/14. What a blessed time we had as he brought forth the Word, and she led worship. Many people were healed and encouraged in the gifts and callings God has placed on their lives.
On Sunday morning, Pastor Jay brought forth a message on sharing your faith. His texts were James 5:7 and Mark 16.
The #1 reason people don't witness about Jesus is fear. We've been taught that fear is the opposite of faith, but that's inaccurate. Unbelief is the opposite of faith, while the opposite of fear is boldness. When the apostles were threatened, it was designed to strike fear in their hearts. Instead they prayed for boldness to proclaim the gospel.
Before you try to witness to others, first come to the Lord yourself. You cannot lead anyone to Him unless you lead yourself to the Lord daily.
Merely inviting someone to a church event is not witnessing. While this is good, it puts the responsibility of leading people to Christ on the pastor or guest speaker. Their job is to equip us to do the work of the ministry.
Years ago, people went door-to-door, but that isn't effective today. Instead, when someone engages you in conversation in a store or wherever you go, they've invited you to talk with them. Ask them about their interests. Usually, they'll turn around and question you about yours. From there, you can share about Jesus.
