Our Responsibility
• Be Ready

Our Responsibility
• Be Ready
• But in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as
holy, always being prepared to make a defense
to anyone who asks you for a reason for the
hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness
and respect... 1 Peter 3:15

Not our Responsibility
• To make people convert

• ...Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says
the Lord of hosts.-Zechariah 4:6

• ...Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says
the Lord of hosts.-Zechariah 4:6
• For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to
be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that
he might be the firstborn among many brothers.
And those whom he predestined he also called, and
those whom he called he also justified, and those
whom he justified he also glorified.-Romans 8:28-30

Barriers
• We do not Love God enough therefore
we do not love people enough.

Barriers
• We do not Love God enough therefore
we do not love people enough.
• We all have people that we do not like,
this effects our outreach

Breakout: The List
• Make a list of all the people groups,
types of people, cultures and
subcultures that if you are being honest,
you just don’t like or care about like
God cares about them.

Scripture
• In this the love of God was made manifest among
us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that
we might live through him. 1In this is love, not that
we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his
Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if
God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.-
1 John 4:9

• but God shows his love for us in that while we were
still sinners, Christ died for us. -Romans 5:8

Prayer
• Pray that God would enable us to love
like he does.

Prayer
like he does.
• Pray that God would make us ready to
give and answer for the Hope that is in
us.

• Pray that God would make us ready to

us.
• Pray that God might draw men and
women to himself.

Conclusion
• One reason that we are ineffective as
missional people is that we do not view
every person that we meet as someone
God loves and as someone who needs
Jesus to save them.

Next Week

By the time of Ezra and Nehemiah, the people had grown increasingly impatient with Israel’s servile international status and had lapsed into a new set of moral failings. No
longer were they primarily guilty of spiritual depression, lethargy, and apathy. Malachi confronted a culture that was intermarrying with pagans (2:11-15), robbing God of
the commanded tithe (3:8-10), and holding the Sabbath in contempt (2:8-9; 4:4). Furthermore, Israel’s religious leaders (the priests) were corrupt (1:6-2:9) and the people
were inﬂicting social injustices on the downtrodden in their community (3:5)
