As we look at the “Roman Road” outline of sharing faith, we must realize that this is something that we are not to force or inject harshly into every conversation that we have. But instead, we are to realize first that salvation is something that we must live out in our lives naturally as an […]
Last week we looked at why we are to give an answer for the hope that is with us. First, we are going to be asked. Secondly, we need to have an answer. Very few times will this come out in a “debate” format. But most of the time, we are going to be asked […]
Today we are going to look at how we can take our faith outward and share with those around us. We are going to look at a couple of different approaches. The first is called the Roman Road Method, and the second is called the Four Spiritual Laws approach. We will look at those approaches […]
Today we continue to look at Unity and Diversity. We will begin as we have in the past with the diagram of the pyramid of unity that we have been discussing. Today we will look at growth. Many times we find ourselves “spinning our wheels” in our Christian growth. What does it mean to “spinning […]
