Each One Reach One: It’s All About Love

This is a short 2-sermon series about Evangelism in general, but to help prepare us practically for Fall Festival in the short term. Fall Fest is one of our biggest outreach opportunities, so we need to be prepared to share the Gospel for our guests who come.
This weekend, we use again the 1 John 4:10-21 text, kind of as a segue from the Spirit series. Our “telos” = “end for which we are created” , or “perfection of ourselves”, is love. Perfect love for God, and perfect love for others. If we are to share the Gospel faithfully & effectively, we must start in love:
– We must know & believe that love starts in God’s love for us and then our love for God. People won’t believe a word we say about “coming to Jesus” if we haven’t come to him on our own.
– That love for God is only made real by our love for others. People won’t listen to a thing we say if it’s not said in love for them.
