Sharing Your Life
Every Day
A Journey Of A Thousand
Miles Begins With One Step
Influencers
Who was the one person, excluding your
parents, that influenced you to make a
decision for Christ?
How did he or she influence you?
Matthew 9:35-38
Jesus went through all the towns and villages,
teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good
news of the kingdom and healing every disease and
sickness. When he saw the crowds, he had
compassion on them, because they were harassed
and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then
he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but
the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest,
therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”
Compassion of a Shepherd
What does it mean to
have compassion
for others?
What does it mean to
be a sheep without
a shepherd?
The people you shepherd are your
F.R.A.N.’s
How does one know if their
F.R.A.N.’s are harassed and/or
helpless?
Read and Discuss
John 4:4-29
How did Jesus maneuver past the
Samaritan women’s defenses?
Developing Meaningful
Relationships With Non-Believers
• During a typical week, where and when do
you interact with non-Christians?
• Why would someone desire to develop a
relationship with a non-Christian?
Capitalize On Those Relationships
Colossians 4:2-6
2Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. 3And pray for
us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may
proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. 4Pray that I may
proclaim it clearly, as I should. 5Be wise in the way you act toward
outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. 6Let your conversation be
always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to
answer everyone.
Why should we follow the
instructions of this passage?
How Do I Evangelize?
• Many Christians feel
that they do not
know enough about
the Bible to witness.
• Why is sharing your
personal story the
best method of
witnessing?
Jesus’ Final Command
Matthew 28:19-20
Therefore go and make disciples of all
nations, baptizing them in the name of
the Father and of the Son and of the
Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey
everything I have commanded you.
