Romans Vol. 1 - Coming Under GraceWe're comfortable talking about things that matter to us, as long as they don't come with risk or pushback—but most of those things won't change anyone's life. What about the gospel? Paul makes an extraordinary statement that challenges how we view its power and our willingness to speak about it.Sermon Preached by Chris Lewis on April 13, 2025Foothill Church exists to glorify God by living as disciples of Jesus who make disciples of Jesus. https://foothill.church Learn about our For the Sake of His Name 2-Year Discipleship Journey: https://foothill.church/FTSOHN

Being A Christian Means Sharing Your Faith | Rich Nathan | Westerville Campus | April 6, 2025

In this week's episode, Evangelist Chance Walters gives us 5 steps to share our faith based out of John Chapter 5. Please share with a friend! 

How can you live out Acts 1:8 in simple, practical ways? In this episode, Todd Unzicker sits down with Scott Hildreth, professor at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary and author of the new book, A Short Guide to Evangelism and Missions. The two discuss how Christians can be obedient to Jesus' command to make disciples. Hildreth offers insights on finding confidence to share the gospel, equipping people for evangelism, and making the most of gospel opportunities, like Easter Sunday on April 20. Their conversation also considers how pastors can lead by example when it comes to sharing their faith, and how churches can prepare for Easter and the upcoming Fill the Tank baptism initiative.

When Jesus first called his disciples to share the message of the gospel with others, he also initiated the movement of the Christian church. Since that moment of commissioning those initial disciples to share their faith, the church has continued to grow. As those who follow Jesus today, we are called to share our faith with others as well, partnering with the Holy Spirit and relying on his power to help us share our faith generously and with joy.

Every believer is called to step forward in sharing their faith because Jesus' mission to save the world includes us. When we are empowered by the Spirit and strengthened through prayer, we can boldly share the gospel that saves. With wisdom and grace, we must communicate His truth in a way that reaches people where they are, from their worldview. We need the Spirit's help to guide us in discovering the most fitting context for sharing our faith.

What if sharing your faith felt as natural as chatting with a coworker over lunch? In this episode of One Degree Podcast, we break down practical evangelism strategies—like the “Three Circles” and the “bridge” analogy—that make it easier to share the gospel in everyday conversations without feeling preachy. We also dive into the church's role in equipping believers, looking at how the early church's personal, set-apart approach can inspire modern evangelism. Plus, we share a powerful story of door-to-door evangelism that highlights the impact of small acts of kindness and prayer. Join the One Degree Fam in the conversation on Instagram—we'd love to hear your thoughts! Tune in and learn how to make evangelism a natural part of your daily life.

Many Christians struggle with sharing their faith in Christ with others. Although we are commanded by Christ to share, the “how” is not specified. Listen in as Pastor Kyle explores the “how” in discussing what may or may not work in today's culture.

Acts 19:1-20 The post More Guidelines for Sharing Your Faith appeared first on Hixson Presbyterian Church.

Join Dr. Greg Beutel as he delves into "Healthy Christian Habits: Sharing Your Faith." In this next-to-last installment of our series, Dr. Beutel challenges us to confront the realities of hell and the urgency of sharing the Gospel. Discover why sharing our faith is not just a moral duty but a lifesaving mission, urging each of us to offer the hope and salvation freely given to us through Jesus. Let's commit to spreading the word of God, recognizing the eternal implications, and taking action while time still allows. 

Acts 18:1-28 The post 7 Guidelines For Sharing Your Faith appeared first on Hixson Presbyterian Church.

If you're a Christian, you probably know you should share your faith—but actually doing it? That's a different story. Maybe you feel confident and wonder why others don't share the gospel more often. Maybe you've tried, but it felt awkward and forced. Or maybe you don't even know where to start and feel guilty every time you think about it. Wherever you land, this episode is for you. Too often, Christians are told to evangelize but aren't taught how to do it in a sincere, authentic, and non-awkward way. That's what we're unpacking in this two-part series. Nathaniel shares how his views on evangelism radically changed during seminary—going from adamantly opposed to door-to-door evangelism to leading groups in his own neighborhood. While the takeaway here isn't that you need to start knocking on doors, it is that sharing your faith is worth it and can be done naturally in everyday life. In this episode, we cover the why and who of evangelism:

1 Peter 3:14-15

Join us for today's episode from the No Regrets Men's Conference as we hear from speaker Greg Stier, founder of Dare to Share Ministry, who shares the nuts and bolts of witnessing in a natural and comfortable way. Greg shares his journey—from witnessing to his own family to inspiring others to boldly spread the powerful message of the gospel. He reminds us that the gospel is like a grenade—no matter who pulls the pin, it has the power to transform lives. In this conversation, we'll explore: ✅ How to make evangelism a natural part of everyday conversations ✅ The importance of fueling up with the right motivation—obeying Christ's call to make disciples ✅ The Prayer-Care-Share model for reaching others ✅ What it means to be Radical Like Jesus Be encouraged, be equipped, and get ready to live out your faith with confidence!

Have you ever found yourself in a conversation where you wanted to share your faith, but the words just wouldn't come out? Maybe you weren't sure where to start or how to make it relatable. Today, we're going to learn from the apostle Paul—how he shared his faith story in different settings and how YOU can confidently do the same. By the end of this video, you'll have a clear, simple framework to tell your story in a way that truly connects.

Pastor Hans ministered this morning

We've been changed by the radical love of Jesus—saved, redeemed, and given new life. But here's the question: What are we doing with it? When something transforms us, we can't help but share it. Just like finding an incredible restaurant or watching an amazing game, we naturally tell others about what moves us.This week, Pastor Matt Surber, of Mission City Church in San Antonio, TX, leads us as we dive into what it means to share the life-changing love of Christ. From the lepers in 2 Kings 7 who stumbled upon salvation and knew they couldn't keep it to themselves, to Paul's declaration that the love of Christ compels us—God's love isn't meant to be hoarded. It's meant to be shared.If we truly believe the gospel is good news, why would we keep it to ourselves? What's stopping us from sharing the greatest gift we've ever received? Let's talk about how Radical Love pushes us beyond comfort, beyond fear, and into the lives of others—so they, too, can know the hope we've found in Jesus.Missioncity.church_______________________________Sermon Notes are available at missioncity.church/watch

It can be a challenge for people to share their faith, spiritual experiences and today I wanted to talk through some of them.

As believers, we need to be equipped to handle people's doubts, questions, and opinions about the existence of God in their lives. The challenge is a lot of us don't feel equipped for that. In fact, a lot of us are playing it small when it comes to sharing our faith because we're afraid we might offend someone, say the wrong thing, or not have the "right answer" in the moment and disappoint God. In today's episode, I wanted to share some mindsets and strategies around having uncomfortable conversations with confidence when you're sharing your faith. It's so important that we rest in how God works in people's lives and take confidence in the part we play in seeing people come to know Him.   fireBRAND Academy 2025 book a call here: https://calendly.com/melissaleahughes/booked-to-speak-clone Free Mini Course 8 Myths to Going Viral: https://melissaleahughes.com/viralvideo Have your content done for you at Rise Social Media Agency: https://melissaleahughes.com/rise Grab You 3 Steps to Clarity on Your Brand Messaging: https://melissa-hughes.mykajabi.com/personalbrand   Website: www.melissaleahughes.com Social Channels: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@melissaleahughes Melissa's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melissaleahughes/ Rise Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/risesocialmediaagency/?hl=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/melissa.harrington.758 Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@melissaleahughes

Shareable Quotes: “Being Jesus to people is much more effective than trying to be ‘Mr. Apologetics' and giving intellectual reasons for something.” – Lee Strobel “Sharing the hope of Christ with people turns us into listeners. A lot of times in evangelism, it can very quickly turn into us doing all the talking, but asking questions turns us into listeners, which was the model that Jesus often led with.” – Shane Pruitt “A lot of theological and apologetics questions start at the head, but what you're doing is bringing it down to the heart level and connecting with the person in love. People need to know that we genuinely love them, and love covers a multitude of sins.” – Paul Worcester “When I say the word ‘evangelist,' I would like your name to come to mind, that you're an evangelist. Even though you don’t see yourself that way, you can be yourself and share Christ in a way that syncs up with who God made you to be, and God will use you.” – Lee Strobel “The more we hear ourselves articulate the gospel, the more confident we'll get. And the more confident we are in what we're saying, the more we will be able to share it.” – Shane Pruitt

If you believe in Jesus, most likely there's someone in your life (that you love) that doesn't believe in Jesus. Maybe they walked away from God or never had a relationship with Him in the first place. And you're praying that will change.  So, how do you share your faith with people who disagree with you? How do you share your faith with people who you know are going to be hard to convince? #1) Build a bridge to others. You may be walking into a tough conversation, but the goal isn't to argue or debate or to win an argument. The goal is to win someone's heart and soul for Christ!  #2) Affirm their spiritual curiosity – even if it's misguided. Be loving. Be engaging. Remember, they may be far from God, but God put them close to you and you need to keep the lines of communication open. #3) Connect Christ to the culture. We watch the Apostle Paul do this in the Bible. His philosophy was: “I become all things to all men that I might by all means, save some!”  #4) Ultimately, obedience is our responsibility, but the outcome is God's. IOW – it's your responsibility to reach out to others and share your faith with those in your path, but you can't control the outcome. Watch this message by Pastor Tim Lucas and discover 4 tips for sharing your faith with people who disagree with you.  #LiquidChurch #ShareYouFaith #ToughConversations
