lesson for 27th oct
Hi all.. we will not be starting on TE tmr. Instead we will have a short intro to this whole evangelism series that the church is doing.
Firstly, maybe we can ask them to share a high and a low abt their week. Could be exams (prolly the most common sharing) so ask them to share something else besides this as well. Like how they experienced God the past week thru exams. Some will not be comfortable in opening up and sharing more than the basic sharings they share weekly.
Secondly, ask them what are several fears that makes them hesitate and not evangelise to their friends. Ask them also what do they not like about evangelism as well.
Finally, we can explain the theme verse of this series (1 corinthians 3:6). Evangelism is not a man-centred but a Christ-centred thing. Team evangelism is also different from solo-based evangelism. Maybe you can ask them what are the various differences. The main reasons why we want to cultivate team evangelism is to equip everyone in relational evangelism. 5 reasons why we wanna reach out as a small grp
1) small group is non threatening. Many pre believers feel intimidated by church buildings or large scale church events. Rather we can invite them to a small grp outing for pure enjoyment and company sake.
2) small grp provides intimacy. We are able to relate to them in a more personal level.
3) Support for grp members. Every member in the team will have different personalities(we will learn it in the weeks to come) and these different strengths we have can balance out our weaknesses.
4) small group is where pre believers can discover more. A small group environment can be a place where pre believers can experience more abt God's love and know more abt our christian faith.
5) Small group is the place to nurture new believers naturally. After the pre believer receives Christ, the small group will naturally become a support group for new believers in spiritual growth.
Thats abt it for now. There is alot to say but I shall take it slow. Sorry its a bit late. I really didnt lnow what to prepare so here is the best summmary I can give yall. Cya tmr!
God Bless,
Rayner
