Proclaiming the Good News of Jesus Christ
Opening Prayer
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for saving us through Jesus Christ and giving us the gift of eternal life. Thank You for entrusting us with the message of the gospel. As we study today, give us boldness, wisdom, and compassion to share our faith with others. Help us to speak the truth in love and trust You to work in the hearts of those who hear. May our lives and words point people to Jesus Christ.
In Jesus’ name we pray,
Amen.
Primary Text
Acts 1:8
“But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
Introduction
The gospel is the greatest news the world has ever received.
God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to save sinners and offer eternal life to all who believe.
After receiving this good news, believers are called to share it with others.
Sharing your faith is not reserved for pastors, missionaries, or evangelists.
Every believer is called to be a witness for Jesus Christ.
God uses ordinary people to tell others about His extraordinary grace.
What Does It Mean to Share Your Faith?
Sharing your faith means communicating the truth of the gospel to others.
It involves:
- Speaking about Jesus Christ
- Explaining the gospel
- Sharing your testimony
- Inviting others to trust in Christ
The goal is not to win arguments.
The goal is to point people to Jesus.
