St Barnabas Church

Talk: Evangelists - See Passion
Series: Equipped to Pioneer: Vision 2020
Speaker: Helen Jackson
Reading: Acts 8:4-8, 26-40

Discussion Questions:
“as Christians we have become introspective at just managing Christians…how do we help people have a vision for the lost?”

Whilst all of us who are Christians should be ready to speak of the Good News of Jesus at the drop of a hat (2Tim. 4:2), there are particular people who have a real gift to connect with others regularly and share the gospel with them. One clear example in Acts is of Phillip who, in the face of persecution of the most severe kind, still spoke of Jesus as he sat down with the Ethiopian eunuch, talked and opened the Scriptures. Evangelists are great encouragers and are observant, consequently they see what people’s passions are. They also observe how things work around them by spotting what people spend their money on and want to gather where people are at. They are people magnets…people gather around them and they are willing to sit down and discuss with people their questions about life and faith. They stir curiosity and desire to know Jesus. Their life is a living invitation to all to join the family of God. As a result they are well connected and see how people in different circumstances can be linked together. People who are naturally hardwired evangelists are not just those tele-evangelists! There will be people in St Barnabas who are hardwired this way and telling people about the Good News of Jesus is what gets them pumped up! Encourage people with this gift to use it well and train others.

Does this description resonate with you? If not – can you see this gift in others you know including your people of peace?
