Inside-Out Evangelism

This past Saturday we hosted a 1/2 day seminar on Evangelism. Our speaker was Joey Rozek, a pastor/teacher who is planting a church in Cambridge (Calvary Chapel Cambridge).

Joey taught evangelism from a fresh perspective capturing the ethos, pathos, and the divine Logos of evangelism.

Evangelism is not about modes and methods but about walking close to Jesus and being intimately acquainted with the greatness of His salvation.

Joey reminded all those present that a faith worth having is a faith worth sharing. It is not about fulfilling a commandment, rather introducing others to your best friend, the One whom Creation longs to worship.

There was a great reminder given that Evangelism is about bragging. Bragging about Jesus (Gal 6:14)! It is the result of who we are more than what we do.

For those who were not there, I would highly recommend downloading and listening to the three messages given. You can download them here:Be blessed as your share this great salvation to a dying world. I will close this post with a few words from a puritan prayer in The Valley of Vision.
You will not mark my mountains of sin, for He levelled all, and His beauty covers my deformities. O my God, I bid farewell to sin by clinging to His cross, hiding in His wounds, and sheltering in His side.
A great Saviour worth telling the world about!
