In Part Two of this three-part message, we delve into additional factors that motivate the believer to witness to others. While the primary motivation is to bring glory to God, we are also commanded by Christ to witness, and our love for Him should compel us to seek the spiritually lost. Because Christ has reconciled us to God, we are now given the supreme privilege of taking this ministry of reconciliation to others.

In Part Three of this three-part message, Alistair Begg gives his closing thoughts on the remaining two motivational factors for witnessing; namely, the utmost certainty of the return of Christ, and Final Judgment. Additionally, the five main points of the message believers are to proclaim are outlined. For witnessing to be effective, there must be knowledge as well as conviction of the truth of the exclusive claims of Jesus Christ, and a passion to give our best to reach the lost for God's glory.

Speaking to pastors, Mark Dever outlined the characteristics that distinguish a healthy church from an unhealthy church. He detailed what he has termed “the 9 Marks” of differentiation: expositional preaching, the Gospel, biblical theology, a biblical understanding of conversion, evangelism, church membership, discipline, concern for promoting discipleship and growth, and a biblical understanding of church leadership.

Young men and women entering college or taking their first steps out into the world will quickly find their faith put to the test. Contemporary influences encourage us to “live for the moment” and to “seize the day” without regard for eternal consequences. The pressure imposed by society to thrive in a competitive world can breed broken friendships, disappointments, and lure young adults away from their devotion to Christ. Teaching from selected Scripture including Psalms, Proverbs, Timothy and James, Alistair Begg speaks to college student audiences about holding firm to Christian convictions. Lessons For Life offers practical, essential teaching on ...

Jesus promised to transform His followers and give them a new purpose for living. Followers of Christ “fish for men” as they share their faith through their lives and words. In this second of two messages, Jesus demonstrates how we can effectively “fish” using Living Water.

Jesus calls His followers “the light of the world” and instructs them to let their light shine before others. The light of Christ’s followers is a beacon to the lost and weary. In this first of two messages we’ll learn why shining our light and sharing our faith is so important.

Christians are urged to live out the Gospel by our actions and words. So how do we communicate effectively with those who do not know Christ? Teaching on acting wisely and being opportunistic with those outside the faith, Alistair provides insight to learning to answer questions appropriately, being gracious without being cliché and on how love must cross racial and cultural boundaries.

While teaching the Bible in American public schools would cause much controversy, John Dickson, a native Australian, came to faith in Christ through a scripture class taught in school. He points out a common idiosyncrasy concerning evangelism: Christians treat sharing the gospel as an embarrassment, rather than treating evangelism as a casual conversation about our favorite subject. He talks about his approach as a pastor for helping his congregation know and share Christ and he gives some examples of how to use accounts from the four gospels in responding to unbelievers.

"Why did Christ have to die if your sincerity or decency is good enough?" Rico Tice, who became a Christian in an English boarding school, answers this question as he talks about the exclusivity of the gospel. He helps us discern between the tension of being gracious to unbelievers and still sharing the whole truth of the gospel without distortion. Tice convicts us that we ought to hold theological truth and biblical integrity tightly with one hand and hold the methodology loosely with the other. Learn more from Rico in his helpful evangelism tool that uses the gospel of Mark ...

Continuing the teaching from Paul in Philippians, John Dickson preaches what it truly means to be a citizen of heaven. The call, the character and the effects of living like people who are destined for heaven is not a calling for the fainthearted. The gospel we proclaim is for people to "sabotage" the empire they live in through service and suffering, true humility. No one has been an example of this better than our Savior, Jesus Christ. Humility was a shameful word in the first century, and yet Christ rescues the word from ignominy to become the highest call for ...
