Proclaiming Christ the King (Part 2)
Acts 17:1-9
I. Effective evangelism must include a clear presentation of both the person and work of Jesus Christ vv. 2-3
II. Effective evangelism will always induce a definitive response in the listeners vv. 4-9
A. Favorable vs. 4
B. Unfavorable vv. 5-9
Five Suggestions for Proclaiming Christ:
1. Ask the Lord for strength and guidance in preparing to proclaim Christ.
2. Turn the conversation to the Person and work of Christ as early as possible.
3. Stay focused on the gospel and don’t allow yourself to be side tracked by irrelevant comments or objections to the central message.
4. Ask the person to believe the claims of Christ.
5. Help the person take the next step in turning to Christ.
Due to technical difficulties, portions of the first few minutes of this sermon are difficult to understand.
