Yesterday we wrapped up our 3 week series on sharing Christ with your friends. Over the past few weeks we challenged you to consider making a comittment to reaching out to 1-4 of your friends this school year. Last night was really cool as many of you came forward to make that commitment. I am certain that God can use all of you in an amazing way to impact the lives of your friends. Now, as you go to SPEAK the good news of Jesus Christ to your friends, remember that .... the "right words" are important.
How do I Shout with the right words and effective communication?
1. Talk with EXPERIENCE
2. Talk with GENTLENESS
3. Talk with CONFIDENCE
a simple plan to remember is:
- Admit you're a sinner
- Believe in Jesus
- Commit your life to him
4. Talk with your FRIENDS
- pray for the right time
- look for the right time
- speak athe the right time
One last thought:
Your lifestyle matters, your desire to be a good friend matters, and your sensitivity to commumicate matters. God uses people like you to bring GOOD NEWS.
(my apologies to Whitney for not having the scripture to go with all the points - I will put them up asap!)
