1510 Words7 Pages

For many Christians the importance, responsibility and connectivity of evangelism and worship were unknown or misunderstood. Evangelism and worship are responsibilities given to all Christians as they travel through their daily walk. In their book, “The Great Commission Worship Biblical Principles for Worship-Based Evangelism”, David Wheeler and Vernon M. Whaley take the reader through a journey to understanding the importance of evangelism and worship, how these two concepts are interrelated, and provide practical application to fulfill the Great Commission and grow as a God seeking worshipper.
Wheeler and Whaley emphasis that evangelism and worship can no longer be viewed in isolation by Christians. When these roles are incorrectly …show more content…

I have experienced an evangelism visit where the incorrect words for the acrostic and Scripture where used, but the Holy Spirit was at work and the individual prayed to receive Christ as Lord and Savior. Jesus teaches the disciples not to worry about what they will say or how they will defend themselves, because “the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you out to say” (Luke 12:12). This is encouragement that when the time comes to share the gospel the Holy Spirit will move on their behalf. Nonetheless, when Jesus makes this statement it is not the disciple’s first day on the job. At this point the disciples experienced miraculous healing, watched as Jesus controlled nature, seen demons cast out, and heard numerous teachings from Christ, including those displaying the Kingdom of God. It wasn’t until the disciples spent time under the tutelage of Jesus were they given the Great Commission and told to …show more content…

Each participant will be encouraged to purchase “The Great Commission Worship Biblical Principles for Worship-Based Evangelism” by David Wheeler and Vernon M. Whaley. At this point I don’t have the complete lesson plan developed, but my expectation is that the team can cover one chapter each week. During our regular practice as a group we will discuss the reading assignment from the prior week. I will then take some time to teach key points in the upcoming chapter. As we get to toward the end of the book and begin discussing how Great Commission Worship can be reproduced, those on the worship team will be encouraged work through process of becoming a Great Commission Worshipper, with the expectation each team member will report to the group the following week. This teaching and learning opportunity will take our worship team through the summer. For our ministry this is an ideal time for evangelism in our area. Along with having opportunities to share the gospel of Jesus Christ to those within our sphere of influence, the summer brings an influx of “associates”, “acquaintances”, and “person x” into the resort town in which we

In the book Branded Nation: The Marketing of MegaChurch, College Inc., and Museumworld, author James Twitchell suggests that modern Christianity falls into a “merchandising system” (Twitchell), in which the brands (churches) become aware of the demands of the consumers (church-goers) (Hanson). As the Christian religion evolves, churches have become aware that denominations are no longer a vital selling point to consumers site. In return, churches have become nondenominational, which has given churches a new way to brand themselves without having to fall into the requirements that their denominations defined as necessary (Hanson). With modern marketing and branding of churches, faith values of churches are highlighted and then connected to the needs and values of the consumers and churchgoers (Hanson).

This ties in to Psalm 119:65. The Psalmist recognizes that while astray from God, affliction followed. It wasn’t until he realigned himself with God’s word that he was rid of spiritual discrimination and was able to receive knowledge from God. Scripture is indubitable. If we maintain God and His Word as central to everything we do, it will minimize the disconnect from God and thus minimize the potential for bad

In-Depth Bible Study/ Sermon Part one 1st Timothy 3:1-13 Theme: Instruction and Qualification on Leadership I have arrived at the Greenfield Corps about six weeks now.

Our club began with five students, however with God’s intervention, within two months sixty-five students gave up their lunch time to learn about my Savior. From this experience, I have come to crave a Christian environment in which I am challenged in my faith while furthering my ability to teach others about the God which I serve. California Baptist provides me with this opportunity, not only to serve others but to be served with the word of God

The pastor receives or perceives via study the revealed word of God and mandates this to the hearer. Moreover, the pastor is communicating objective truths. These truths are unchallengeable and the language used must be representative and therefore justifiable as factual as Rose writes, “Words that are precise can grasp and deliver objective truth”. The connection of the stories of scripture to context, cultural issues, timeliness, and practical meaning take a backseat to general truths applied objectively in a timeless fashion. In fact, the most effective sermon in this form is one

‘Tentmaking is a growing expression of mission in the contemporary world. It is a way in which members of the body of Christ can use their professional gifts” as a way spreading the gospel to those who would not necessarily hear it. Mission work is very important in this world, because if there was not any one to go into other countries and different cultures, there would be a lot more lost people. The Great Commission was part of God’s word and has to be done as a servant of the Lord. The Lausanne Occasional Paper 39 stresses this and encourages people to go out into the world and not keep it within the four walls of the

This is indicated by the usage of the Greek verb euaggelizo (to proclaim the good news) 54 times and the Greek noun euaggelion (good news or gospel) 76 times. In Luke 20:1 and Acts 8:4, Jesus and the apostles were evangelists in preaching the gospel.9 Since the centrality of evangelism is derived biblically, theologically, practically, and logically throughout the New Testament, it can further be deduced that the term evangelist is located in the center of the five gifts in Ephesians 4:11. Evangelism is the heart of the Church. It seems reasonable to conclude that all of the fivefold ministry gifts focus on evangelism. When evangelists are multi-gifted (apostle, prophet, pastor, teacher), there is greater diversity in evangelism.

One of the youth leaders says how he shows the youth to live a responsible and righteous life around God which shows us how we adapt to current needs by understanding each other’s positions in how we live in today’s world. We are meant to worship God not individually or silently but rather as a group. We have to be as involved as possible in understanding the rites and prayers that they part in. I observed this when everyone in the service was voluntarily singing along with each other as a community. The choir was singing in harmony with the lead singer and the rest of the community and they offered themselves to God to take their faithfulness and acceptance of

We cannot just tell them the answer nor can we dismiss their questions. Answering questions requires concise, yet sensitive, communication. We again consider Paul in Athens (Acts 17:16-34). He clearly told them what God required, but he did so in a loving way (Eph. 4:15). He did not verbally assail them.

There worship consist of singing bible verses along with prayer. Whereas modern Christian churches typically worship for thirty minutes then preach. However, this form of worship introduced an experience rather than religious teachings. Throughout the service, implications of attempting to feel Gods presence appeared imperative. Nevertheless, confessing sins were imperative for healing.

“Just sitting here with you has given me some sound advice that I think a lot of Catholics should keep in mind, when it comes to the New Evangelization. Although the examples we have raised for the past several hours may not make any sense to the casual observer, the one who understands the gist of what we had said to each other, carefully observing for the past several hours, will surely know what we meant.” “Precisely,” remarked Walther. “For the New Evangelization to be successful, the materials on which the evangelization efforts are to be made must both be coordinated and be relatable to the people that the effort is being geared toward. There was a very good reason why the Holy Spirit gave the Apostles the ability to speak in many different languages (Acts 2:4, NABRE).
