Discovering Sharing Christ

1 Corinthian 13:1-8

2003 03 02

1.  I need to share about Jesus.

who I’m sharing vs what I’m sharing

relationship vs religion

living faith vs dead tradition

Acts 4:12 – “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.”

What is the gospel? – 1 Corinthians 15:1-5

2.  I need to be sharing Jesus.

sharing vs pushing

1 Peter 3:15,16 – “But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord.  Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.  But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander.”

3.  I need to be living what I’m sharing.

being a witness vs witnessing

“who you are speaks louder than what you say”

Acts 1:8 – “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses”

Romans 10:14 – “How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone sharing with them?”
