James 5:16 Therefore
confess your sins to
each other and pray for
each other so that you
may be healed.
15. The public person I was

increased and finally
dominated me. As
a result, I did things that
were contrary to everything
I believe.

about all of you, since I have you in my

of you share in God's grace with me.
Romans 12:11 Never be lacking in zeal,
but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the
Lord.
20. L -Lay Ministry
Ephes. 4:11-12 It was he who
gave some to be apostles, some
to be prophets, some to be
evangelists, and some to be
pastors and teachers, to prepare
God's people for works of
service, so that the body of
Christ may be built up
21. L -Lay Ministry
Know their spiritual gifts
Ministering according to their
giftedness
Asa matter of fact, in practice it works
the other way—the “lower” the part, the
more basic, and therefore necessary.
You can live without an eye, for
instance, but not without a stomach.
1 Cor. 12:22 [Msg]
22. E -Evangelistic Interest
1 Peter 3:15 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,
23. E -Evangelistic Interest

gospel

your life.

Eleven, raised his voice and addressed the

in Jerusalem, let me explain this to you;
listen carefully to what I say.”

they were cut to the heart and said to Peter
and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall
we do?”
Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every
one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for
the forgiveness of your sins. And you will
receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”
25. Paul's intellectual approach
Acts 17:2 As his custom
was, Paul went into the
synagogue, and on three
Sabbath days he reasoned
with them from the
Scriptures,
26. The Blind man's testimonial
approach
John 9:25 He replied,
“Whether he is a sinner
or not, I don't know.
One thing I do know. I
was blind but now I
see!” [NIV]
27. Dorcas' serving approach
Acts 9:36 In Joppa there
was a disciple named
Tabitha (which, when

was always doing good and
helping the poor. [NIV]

invitational approach
John 4:29 “Come,
see a man who told
me everything I ever
did. Could this be
the Christ?”

and saw a tax collector by the name of
Levi sitting at his tax booth. “Follow me,”
Jesus said to him, and Levi got up, left
everything and followed him.

at his house, and a large crowd of tax
collectors and others were eating with
them.
