1. Words and Deeds
"Preach the gospel, if necessary use words" is not a mindset faithful churches can adopt — evangelism requires actually saying it. Why do you think it's tempting to let a good life "count" as evangelism on its own? Where's the line between deeds that adorn the gospel and deeds that quietly replace it?
2. Rehearsing the Gospel
The sermon compared knowing the gospel to an EMT's rehearsed intake questions — reflex, not something you have to think about. Honestly: if a stranger asked about your faith right now, could you explain the gospel in 1–3 sentences? What's one everyday moment this week (a bad day, a funeral, a wedding) where you could practice "rehearsing the gospel" that way?
3. Praying for Boldness
"People who don't pray about evangelism likely don't do evangelism." Who is one specific person God might be calling you to "harvest" — a coworker, neighbor, or friend? Take a minute now to pray by name for that person and for your own boldness.
4. The Fear of the Lord
"How many of us have a theology of coming judgment but live our days as functional universalists, assuming God will just save everyone?" Does that description land on you at all? What would it look like to actually let the reality of a coming Day shape how urgently you share Christ?
5. Evangelize Where You Are
The sermon named several everyday contexts — your kids, funerals, your community routines (sports, work), and church itself. Which of these is most natural for you, and which one do you avoid? What's one concrete step you could take this month in that harder context?
