April 29, 2025
INTRO…
==================================================
How many tires on that car…4? Have you ever heard of the 4 spiritual laws?
Too pushy…too religious, Self Righteous and proud…more worried about pointing fingers at peoples sin then introducing them to the doctoral
WE ARE NOT PEOPLE SELLING VACUUMs…We are Introducing people to Jesus.
==================================================
Matthew 4:19 NLT
[19] Jesus called out to them, "Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people!"
WHY? HOW? WHEN?
==================================================
.INTRODUCING OTHERS TO JESUS IS NOT A REQUIREMENT TO BE SAVED…IT IS A NATURAL RESULT OF BEING SAVED.
==================================================
We are not good people showing bad people how to be good
We are reborn people showing dead people how to be alive.
We are beggars who have found bread showing other beggars where to get it.
================================================
The title of my sermon FISHING FOR PEOPLE PART 1: WHY DOES IT MATTER?
==================================================
POINT #1 INTRODUCING OTHERS TO JESUS IS EVIDENCE THAT YOU ARE SAVED
==================================================
Romans 10:9-10 NLT
[9] If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. [10] For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved.
==================================================
POINT #2 INTRODUCING OTHERS TO JESUS IS EVIDENCE THAT YOU LOVE JESUS AND YOUR NEIGHBOR
==================================================
Psalm 40:9-10
[9] I have told all your people about your justice. I have not been afraid to speak out, as you, O LORD, well know. [10] I have not kept the good news of your justice hidden in my heart; I have talked about your faithfulness and saving power. I have told everyone in the great assembly of your unfailing love and faithfulness.
=================================================
POINT#3 INTRODUCING OTHERS TO JESUS IS EVIDENCE THAT YOU ARE OBEYING GOD
================================================
Mark 16:15-16 NLT
[15] And then he told them, "Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone. [16] Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. But anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned.
