There is a difference between Evangelism & Outreach - one is door to door, the other is day to day. Evangelism isn’t just spoken, it’s shown. Ephesians 4:1 says "live a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God.”


Evangelism is not a program - it’s a posture. It’s not about task - it’s about testimony. 

- Revelation 12:11 (NLT) - “They have defeated him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony…”

- It’s not scheduled, it’s spirit-led. 

- It’s not a moment, it’s a mindset.


Jesus had likely been with the disciples and crowds of people for months, before He declared He was the Messiah. He worked the miracle at Cana, He healed, all without pointing to Himself. 


You have to show compassion BEFORE you attempt conversion. 

- Evangelism isn’t winning arguments with humans - it’s winning war against Hell.


To win a war, you have to put on armor (Ephesians 6:10-18):

- Belt of Truth - you have to KNOW the truth of God’s word.

- Body Armor of God’s Righteousness - we are protected by HIS righteousness in us.

- Shoes of Peace from the Gospel - it’s about readiness to go and share our faith.

- Shield of Faith - evangelism invites conflict and opposition; it’s important that we strengthen our faith.

- Helmet of Salvation - this is putting on our identity and mindset that we are His.

- Sword of the Spirit - the only offensive weapon, and it’s just simply allowing the Spirit to use us as mouth pieces.


The Armor of God is not just for defense - it equips us to advance the gospel. Evangelism is spiritual warfare, and each piece of armor prepares you to stand firm, speak boldly, and carry the good news into enemy territory.


Evangelism is us helping grow the Kingdom, but it also helps the Kingdom grow in us.

- When we share our Faith, we grow in the knowledge


Do you believe in heaven? Do you believe there’s a hell? If that’s true, how much do you have to hate someone to not tell them about Jesus?


Don’t keep secret what Jesus DIED to make public
