Taking Your Next Step In Following Jesus Christ

If we are going to reach others with the truth it will require us to get up close and personal with those around us. Even those who do not act like us, talk like us, or believe like us. Effective witnessing is done in an up close and personal manner outside of our Christian bubble.

It is important as we share Jesus Christ with unbelievers that we bring them to a point of decision. We must help them to see a decision needs to be made to either accept the free gift of eternal life to to refuse it. 

Don't talk about Christianity, talk about Jesus Christ. If we emphasize Christianity, it can become "this religion" versus "Christianity" or "that belief" versus "Christianity" and the conversation comes to a halt. Focus on the person of Jesus Christ and this paves the way for common ground and much conversation. 

Finding common ground with others in an important factor to take them from the known to the unknown. It is possible to use the words of unbelievers and use them as a spring board into the Gospel. 

God has placed a conscience in every single person on earth. We examine how Paul appealed to the conscience and how we too can use the conscience to lead someone to Jesus Christ.

Creation is the greatest revelation of God to mankind! It speaks all 7,000 plus spoken languages in the world today. Creation is our great ally as we witness to people so must know when and how to use it. 

It is vital that we know where our audience is in their understanding in order to start our witnessing in the right place. Paul reveals that for certain people we must begin at creation, with the truth that God is the creator. When should we start at creation and what benefit is there in beginning our dialogue here?  

More and more we are encountering unbelievers in our lives. How can we respond to those who are atheist, agnostic, skeptical, or ignorant of the truth? Paul provides us a great example that we can follow which provides some very practical tools that we can implement. These tools can help remove the fear in engaging and witnessing others. 

Do you ever wish you could go back in time and change things from your past? Ever wish you could just rip out certain pages in your life story? While we may not be able to erase our past, we don't have to let it define us. You are the author of your story and have the ability to write the future one decision at a time!

Do you have dreams? What about goals and aspirations in life? Since we have a big God, we should dream big as we write our life story! 

As the author, you have the power to create the story. You are free to write whatever you want! If you are struggling to figure out what to write remember God has an outline for your life that you can follow.

Our life is like a story. We are the author and are writing it one decision at a time. Each sentence, each paragraph, and each chapter tells a story. What does your life story say today? 

We examine what it means for our everyday lives that God is all knowing. We give four practical implications that can strengthen our faith.

Have you ever met a know-it-all? That person who can finish all your sentences and always knows what you are thinking or at least thinks they do. There is only One that knows it all. God's omniscience is a powerful truth about God that has practical application that is relevant for our lives today.
