Cold Hearers

So far in our evangelism series, I've shared what the Gospel is, why we are to share our faith (part I and part II), and I've shared a few tools to share our faith.  Today, I'm going to share a sermon that deals with how to share with particularly hard hearers. 

I ran across a message preached at Sovereign Grace Church - Fairfax, VA.  To be honest, it was completely by accident - I was looking for a message at a different Sovereign Grace church.  This sermon was in the middle of their evangelism series from the beginning of 2012, and I was very much blessed by it.

Rather than try to recap the highlights, I asked permission of the church to post this message here.  Originally shared on February 22, 2012, guest speaker Randy Newman preached a message about the effectiveness of using questions in sharing the Gospel.  The main thrust of his message was how to effectively use questions to get the hearer thinking. His ideas work especially well for those at A, B, C, F, G on the timeline of salvation (you'll need to listen to the message to understand that reference). 

Please view the video below, and please share your reactions in the comments below.  Also, please consider sharing your reactions, especially positive reactions, over at the church's website.





Thank you to Sovereign Grace Church - Fairfax for allowing us to learn along with them through this message.  Be sure to check out the other messages in their "Go into all the World" series.  This is a great resource.

To Have My Soul Happy in the Lord, by George Muller

By Anonymous
To Have My Soul Happy in the Lord By George Muller “It has pleased the Lord to teach me a truth, the benefit of which I have not lost for more than fourteen years. The point is this: I saw more clearly than ever that the first great and primary business to which I ought to attend every day was to have my soul happy in the Lord. The first thing to be concerned about was not how much I might serve the Lord, or how I might glorify the Lord, but how I might get my soul into a happy state, and how my inner man might be nourished. “I saw that the most important thing I had to do was to give myself to the reading of the Word of God—not prayer, but the Word of God. And here again, not the simple reading of the Word of God so that it only passes through my mind just as water runs through a pipe, but considering what I read, pondering over it, and applying it to my heart. To meditate on it, that thus my heart might be comforted, encouraged, warned, reproved, instructed. And that thus,...

Meditations on the Glory of Christ: He Sits at the Right Hand of God

By
In Hebrews 1:2-4, the author makes seven claims about Jesus that when taken together greatly exalt his glory. The seventh claim the author makes about the Son is that, having made purification for sins, he now sits at the right hand of the Majesty on high. The words “he sat down” set the stage for chapter 7 where we’re taught that Jesus is both Priest and King. Prior to Jesus, no king offered his own sacrifices and no priest sat on the throne of David, for that wouldn’t be right. God had decreed that there should be a separation of powers between the priest and the king, but Jesus, unlike all before him, is worthy and able to fulfill both roles. So, on the one hand, Jesus sat down at the right hand of God after making purification for sins because the sacrifice he offered, namely himself, is sufficient. Other priests were always standing, as we see in chapter 10:11-14, because their work was never done. The blood of bulls and goats can never take away sins, so the priests could...
