Pastor Matt explained to us today that the difference between walking in light and darkness is not the presence of sin in your life or not. It is the difference between the presence of God’s truth and forgiveness of your sins that bring you to walk in the presence of a God who is light. Take time to lay all of your mistakes, hurts, sins, burdens, brokenness at His feet tonight.

We have a wealth of resources around us. We can read different gospel presentations, learn different ways to share, but we also have some of the greatest speakers, most incredible athletes, superstars, that share about God’s love. When we encounter someone and understand their interests, we have a chance to connect them to God’s story through the testimonies of personalities they connect with.
Below are 3 simple resources to bookmark. Today, try clicking on to one of these links and watch one video from someone that you would be interested in hearing from.

3. How can you build sharing the gospel on top of one of these videos? What would be the next step in a conversation with someone after you watch this together, or send this video to them?

This week we will be talking about different gospel presentations. If you have one (short, long, an analogy, a system of scripture, a video, a youtube link, anything) please share it with us!
Here is a document pathway put together in 2012 with 5 gospel presentations.

Today read gospel presentation #5. This is the simplest of all the presentations. There are advantages and disadvantages to simplicity like this. Take time to see both the strengths and weaknesses of this presentation.
1. After spending the last few weeks looking at the essentials of the gospel and key scriptures used for outreach, what thoughts can you identify in this presentation?
2. Is there anything you think is lacking or would want to expand on in this presentation?
3. What parts of this way to present the gospel can you connect personal, honest, transparent, and vulnerable testimony from your own life? How can you take a “gospel presentation” but make it intimately connected with God’s story in your own life or in the life of the person you are sharing with?

This week we will be looking at “classic” scripture and passages used for sharing the gospel. Take time to use our 5 classic Daily Bread techniques (Plain reading, inductive OIDA study, original language and single word focus, lectio divina, and extra biblical sources) to understand the passages deeply, but each day will end with working to be able to express the truth simply.
Read Romans 10:5-13
1. Pick a study technique from the Daily Bread series and dig deeper into this passage. What stands out to you? What new insight do you have?
2. What impact does this truth have on your own life? How does it impact your heart and understanding of the gospel?
3. How would you explain this verse to a non-believer who may not understand Christianese? Rewrite this truth in your own words and include a sentence of testimony about how it impacts you personally.
