The Father’s Business 2

Memory Verse: …  “Preach the word of God. Be prepared, whether the time is favorable or not. Patiently correct, rebuke, and encourage your people with good teaching. 2 Timothy 4:2 (NLT).

Text: Romans 10:13-15

Spiritual Emphasis: One business that every believer has been called to do is Evangelism – 2 Corinthians 5:17-18. Evangelism is the act of preaching the gospel, to share the Good News about our Lord Jesus Christ. Put simply, evangelism is to be busy, active, and innovative with preaching of the gospel of Jesus. Different channels must be used to preach and reach the lost with the gospel of salvation. The preaching of the gospel is a serious business assigned to us by the Master. It must be consciously, consistently, and conscientiously done by all believers.

      The Father’s Business

• God has a very high premium on every soul: Dear friends, brothers, and sisters in the Lord, our Heavenly Father and His magnificent Son, Jesus Christ, know you and me personally by name! God loves us unconditionally and cares about each one of us and our successes in this mortal life. Because we are God’s children, His royal offspring, the value of our souls is enormous – Matthew 18:3; John 3:16-17; Numbers 14:18; 2 Peter 3:9; 1 Peter 2:9; Acts 8:4.
• What is your attitude towards soul winning? Apostle Paul actually placed a curse on himself, if he failed to preach the gospel. This was Paul’s attitude and the  high premium he had for soul winning, that he was ready to do anything or be anything just to win one soul for Christ – 1 Corinthians 9:16-23; Luke 15:7; Colossians 1:29; Galatians 2:20.

Questions/Activities: How do we know which verse of the Bible or how do we use the Word of God when Evangelizing? (Romans 3:23; Romans 6:23; Romans 5:8; John 3:16-17; John 14:6; John 3:1-15).

Conclusion

Evangelism is a serious Kingdom business. Be actively involved.

Shalom!
