Main Points or Ideas

God’s Divine Agenda:

  1. Luke 19:10 - “For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”

  2. When God providentially empowers you to touch a life in which He is already working (Providence/Evidence)

  3. You know it when:

    • You enter a situation and it is obvious that God has been at work before you get there
    • The person to whom you are talking to tells you that someone else had been talking to him about the Lord
    • See obvious interest and/or conviction
    • The Lord leads you to say something you normally don’t say
    • A lost person approaches a Christian out of the blue
    • The timing of events is obviously from God
    • The person to whom you are talking is dealing with a traumatic event that has pointed him to his inner needs
    • A guest comes to your church without a human invitation
    • Someone brings up the Bible, religion, God, or spiritual things in a normal conversation
  4. Go, Show, Tell the Gospel Boldly

    • We must be intentional
    • We must be strategic
    • We must tell the gospel
    • We must pray for boldness

Conclusion

The gospel is POWERFUL. We must share it boldly, clearly, and thoroughly.
