Key Points
Christians receive the Holy Spirit at salvation; there's no need to wait for a separate experience. We don’t need to wait to start sharing the Gospel.
Sharing your faith grows your faith—increases joy, maturity, and satisfaction with God.
The Gospel has supernatural power to transform lives—it’s not our power but God’s.
The Word of God never returns void; every seed you plant will fulfill God’s purpose.
Tools for evangelism:
15-second Testimony
I used to be __________, but then __________. Now I’m __________.
Napkin Gospel (3 Circles)
Communion reminds us weekly to live the Gospel and share it.
We are called to return to the broken world with God's truth, grace, and love.
Discussion
The sermon mentioned going "full speed ahead" in life. Can you relate to this? Share an experience where you've either burned out or stalled out in your faith journey.
Reflect on the moment you accepted Christ. How has your enthusiasm for sharing your faith changed since then?
What are some reasons you hesitate to share the gospel with others? (e.g., fear, feeling unqualified, etc.)
How does knowing you already have the Holy Spirit change your confidence?
How does knowing that God's Word never returns void (Isaiah 55:10-11) encourage you to share your faith more boldly?
Take a few minutes to craft your own 15-second testimony using the format: "I used to be ___, but then ___, and now I'm ___." Share your testimony.
Who is one person you can intentionally share the Gospel with this week?
All believers have the Holy Spirit. How does this truth impact your view of your ability to share the gospel?
Application
