Aaron: In the summer of 2016, I shared a heartfelt sermon at camp that explored the deep meaning in Jesus' final words and the unending invitation to evangelism. This episode revisits that summer camp sermon, focusing intently on the thematic core of evangelism and the personal transformation it calls each of us towards.
In the latter half of the sermon, I open up about my own journey toward embracing evangelism. Initially, as a young pastor, the notion of stepping into an evangelistic role was daunting, marked by fear and hesitation. However, through a series of divine nudges and undeniable growth experiences, God firmly led me down the path of learning how to share my faith. This journey wasn't just about learning to share the Gospel, but discovering the transformative power of making evangelism an integral part of life and ministry.
Now, I am more convinced than ever that evangelism is a very often overlooked heartbeat of our faith! Whether it's through spoken word, acts of service, or the way we live our lives, evangelism is a massive part of the expression of Christ's love to the world around us.
This episode is an invitation to reflect on your own call to evangelism. It challenges the notion that sharing the gospel is a task for a select few, urging every listener to consider how they, too, can live out the Great Commission in their unique context. Whether you're a seasoned believer or new to your faith journey, this episode aims to inspire a deeper commitment to the lifestyle of evangelism, embodying the message of Christ in every action and interaction.
I hope it encourages you in your journey of growth and obedience, and helps discover how you can become a living echo of Christ's call to evangelism.
