Evangelism: Week 2

<p>ast week, I shared with you the crazy vision I believe God has given us for Shepherds: a network of churches, never larger than 300 people, connected across neighborhoods by one common message—the Love, Light, and Hope of Jesus Christ.</p>

<p>But if that vision is going to become reality, then we have to learn how to tell that story.</p>

<p>Because we live in a world filled with doubt, pain, cynicism, and more bad news than we know what to do with. And honestly, people are not looking for another argument. They are looking for something true. Something hopeful. Something worth listening to.</p>

<p>In John 1, Philip doesn’t give Nathanael a perfect theological explanation. He simply says, “Come and see.”</p>

<p>Maybe that is where evangelism begins.</p>

<p>Not with pressure. Not with having every answer. But with an invitation to encounter the Jesus who has changed us.</p>

<p>So today, as we continue our series on evangelism, may we learn how to speak into a skeptical world with humility, honesty, and hope.</p>

<p>Because in a world filled to the brim with bad news, <strong>let us tell a story worth hearing.</strong></p>
