About this listen
Are you keeping the keys to heaven in your pocket? In this powerful message on faithful evangelism, we confront the uncomfortable truth that most Christians find it easier to attend church, give financially, or serve in ministry than to engage someone in a conversation about Jesus.
The reason is simple: evangelism is difficult. As J. Max Stiles brilliantly put it, "It's not that evangelism has been tried and found wanting. It's that evangelism has been found difficult and untried." This uncomfortable reality challenges us to examine our priorities and purposes as followers of Christ.
Drawing from Romans 10, 1 Peter 3, and 2 Corinthians 5, we explore the biblical foundation for evangelism not as an optional activity for the specially gifted, but as a commission for every believer. God doesn't demand eloquence or perfection—only willingness and faithfulness. When we understand ourselves as ambassadors carrying a message of reconciliation from the King, evangelism transforms from a dreaded task into a profound privilege.
The message confronts common obstacles like fear of rejection, feelings of inadequacy, and misunderstanding our role in the salvation process. We learn that effective evangelism requires preparation, humility, respect, and the wisdom to contextualize the gospel for different audiences without compromising its truth.
A former Muslim who converted to Christianity once asked his Christian friends with tears in his eyes, "Why did you not love me enough to tell me?" That haunting question should motivate us to overcome our hesitations and share the only message that can save people from eternal separation from God. Whether you've never shared your faith or have been doing so for decades, this message will equip and encourage you to become more faithful in this essential Christian calling.
