Sunday Morning:

Passages: Mark 16:15-16; Acts 1:8

CENTRAL TRUTH:
Believers are called to boldly LIVE OUT AND PROCLAIM the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

A FOUNDATION FOR SUCCESSFUL EVANGELISM:
1. Stay CONNECTED TO JESUS.
"If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing." (John 15:4-5)

2. Stay ENGAGED IN THE CULTURE.
"GO INTO all the world...you will be my witnesses IN..." (Mark 16:15-16; Acts 1:8)

3. Stay READY TO SHARE AT ALL TIMES.
"Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have." (1 Peter 3:15-16)

A PRAYER FOR BOLDNESS:
Now, Lord, consider (insert name) and enable me to speak your word with great boldness. Stretch out your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus. Amen (Adapted from Acts 4:29-30)
