What is the point of showing this video?
Simple. I want to introduce you to my all-time favorite movie. (Disclaimer: do not watch this movie without your parents permission. It has bad language that is completely unnecessary but in those days that's what people expected. Aside from the cussing, it's a really good flick. Get the airline or TV version.)
Now this has little to do with reading The Arrow?
Not alot, unless you have told your friends about the book or the latest video you saw on youtube... or if you have told them about our new favorite band or that new movie that just opened.
If you have...done those things.....then congratulations my friend, you are an evangelist.
Yep. Your word of mouth has influenced peer and family alike and hundreds of dollars have probably been spent just on your recommendation alone.
It's the same with spreading the gospel. Exactly the same.
You don't have to be ______________ (insert name of famous evangelist here) to spread the gospel. The trouble is you probably aren't as excited about Jesus as you are about ______________ (insert thing you are more excited about here.)
This is understandable but fixable. Christians are called to be evangelists so here are some recommendations you can discuss with your group:
- Have some good news to tell. (Read and memorize scripture.)
- Energize your faith. (Experience miracles, pray for wisdom, make it yours.)
- Live the life. (Be holy. Get rid of sin in your life.)
- Be yourself. (Use your own words, be sincere.)
