At this time we're going to pass the offering place, and as we're passing out the offering
place, please turn your Bibles to the book of Jude.
Please turn your Bibles to the book of Jude.
Look at Jude the Bible reads,
Jude the servant of Jesus Christ and brother of James,
to them that are sanctified by God the Father
and preserved in Jesus Christ and called.
Mercy unto you and peace and love be multiplied.
Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful
for me to write unto you and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith
which was once delivered unto the saints.
For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation,
ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness and denying the only Lord
God and our Lord Jesus Christ.
I will therefore put you in remembrance, though you once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt,
afterward destroyed them that believe not.
And the angels which kept not their first to state, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness,
under the judgment of the great day.
Even his Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication,
and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
Likewise also, these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
Yet, Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil, he disputed about the body of Moses.
Durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuketh thee.
But these speak evil of those things which they knew not, but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, and those things they corrupt themselves.
Woe unto them, for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the heir of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gang saying of Cor.
These are spots in your feasts of charity when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear, clouds they are without water, carried about of winds, trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots, raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame, wandering stars to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.
And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying,
Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousandths of his saints,
To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them,
Of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed,
And of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts,
And their mouths speak of great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.
But beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ.
How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time,
who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the spirit.
But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
And if some have compassion, making a difference.
And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire,
hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling,
and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy.
To the only wise God, our Savior, be glory and majesty,
dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
Dear Lord, thank you for your faith. We're Baptist Church Lord. Thank you for everyone that's come to church this morning
Lord, pray that you'd fill Brother Segura with your Holy Spirit and I pray that you'd open all our ears and our hearts to hear
The message this morning and help us to love one another more and Jesus name and pray amen
Amen, so the verse that I want to focus on is right there in verse number 23 that says in others save with fear
Pulling them out of the fire hating even the garments by the flesh and that's the title my sermon is
Pulling them out of the fire. So this morning. I just want to have like a quick little I guess you can say sewing in
seminar
And I'll explain why in a second so it's just gonna be really quickly just me how I give the gospel and I'm just gonna
Focus on one particular thing that I think I need to highlight when we're out there giving the gospel
It's just something that I've seen throughout the years that I think is good for me to bring up especially for new people
You know, but it's not going to be totally long
Just kind of like a quick little tricks, you know and tips on how to you know
Go out there and give the gospel so you can have the best time that you possibly can because I don't know about you guys
But I enjoy giving the gospel, you know, I've been doing it since I believe it was 2003
when I first went out soul winning almost 22 years ago.
And my first experience was horrible.
You know, I was just kind of thrown into the fire.
I didn't pull anyone out of the fire,
but I pulled people, or at least I was thrown into the fire.
You know, and it was horrible.
At the time, I'd just been out the military.
I don't know how many weeks,
but I had a very bad profanity problem.
And so you could believe that that came out a lot at the door.
But.
I got the point across and they understood with all my profanity and my slang and my
ghetto-ness, they understood my point.
They were like, hey, so you're telling me that if I believe in Jesus he'll give me eternal life and I can live however
I want. I'm like, yeah, that's what the Bible says, but you're gonna get chastised.
Then they start bringing up these perverted examples, and I'm like, well the answer is yes,
but if you do those things you will be chastised because if God loves you and knew enough about the Bible by then
He says it's gonna chastise you if you get into sin like that.
And they're like, you know what?
That makes a lot of sense.
That's way different than what I've been taught.
But probably because of who I was or my profanity,
they probably just need a little bit of time
to think about it.
Who knows?
But we make no bones about it here
in Faithful Word Baptist Church.
When we go soul winning, we go out there to save people.
That's what we're doing and people get offended just got an email or saw a comment
I remember but it wasn't that long ago a day or two days ago
Some of this like hey man, we don't save people right Jesus does all the saving well
What does it say right here first Corinthians 922 if you have your Bible going and go to mark 943 go to mark 4943 inches
Wait for me there
And just in case you're wondering because I'm sure some of you are not because if you're like me
Hey, you know what memory fades and that's a good thing
But I do want to set my stopwatch
As my manner is, just because I don't want to go past the hour and a half that I did last time.
I don't know if you ever remember it last time.
And I'm thinking, how did I preach for an hour and 20 something plus minutes?
My goal was only 30.
Well, then I looked at my notes and I had 13 pages.
So today, two pages, amen. Two pages.
So stick with me. Two pages I promised and three props.
Three props.
And I was wondering, man, what should I preach about this morning?
But then I was thinking, you know what?
The thing that's been on my heart, it's just this one thing about so many that I think I
need to point out that I don't think a lot of people know unless they've been going out
for a while.
And I don't know if you can take a look around, but we got new people, and so we need to kind
of maybe get them to catch up.
So of course, my purpose of this sermon is to get you guys...
even better at soul winning as fast as possible and to kind of be aware of falsely converting people and I'll explain that
You know as soon as I possibly can but let me just go over some verses that we used to prove that a
We can go around telling people that we got this person safe. We got that person safe
I mean I think Jude 123 is a great verse to explain how soul winning is because once again
It says an other safe with fear pulling them out of the fire pulling them. It's not always easy
Pulling someone is not always easy. Some are easier than others.
You know, like my son, Savion, the little knucklehead.
It's easy for me to do curls with him.
But then obviously they get heavier as they get older.
Then I got my son, Steven. Yeah, good luck trying to lift that boy.
But before Steven is Shujana, and I don't know if they should weigh more than Steven.
She's a little heavy.
But that's kind of how it is when you're out there soul winning.
You know, some people are harder than others.
But still, this morning, I want to help you just kind of get that muscle nice and strong.
I'm going to just help you exercise it and get you to think of some things that you may
not realize are going on when you're out there giving the gospel.
And for those of you that are new, aren't really sure what we're talking about.
So when it's obviously when we go door to door out in different neighborhoods, we've
got a big map over there to keep us organized.
We go from house to house, like the Bible says, and we try to get people saved.
But hey, you guys that are Baptist Church, I'm sure you're getting, you know what you're
getting yourself into, amen.
But here's another verse Romans 11 14 if by any means I may provoke to emulation then which are on my flesh and
Might save some of them. So Paul is talking about Jews and it's like a hopefully I can get these guys
You know to just pay attention and listen, you know because they're hard-hearted towards the gospel
But I know I can't save them all because the majority of my people are rejecting Christ
You know, but I'm still gonna do it. Why that I might save some of them
We can't save them all but we can save some amen
Revelation 2015 tells us what we're saving them from.
It says, and whosoever was not found written in a book of life
was cast into the lake of fire.
And that's why we do what we do,
because we don't want anyone to go to the lake of fire.
We believe it's real.
When we go out there, we know what we're doing.
You know, we're going out there to pull people out of the fire.
We're going out there to save some people today.
So they're like, hey, what did you do today?
I went out there trying to save people from fire.
What did you do?
Well, I was watching TV this afternoon.
That was the culture back in my old church, where nobody
really cared about souls.
Just a handful of people, and we tried to motivate the rest.
But it was very difficult.
But we kept going.
We figured no one else was going to go.
We're going to keep going.
But that's what ended up happening.
The majority of the afternoon is between services.
It's nobody went anywhere except home to watch some TV
and then come back for the evening service.
That was their activities but in case you haven't looked at the bulletin
we got so many three times a day
Monday through Saturday and five times on Sunday.
So if you're here, we got something for you, we got so many times that you can partake
any time you want, and you have to start somehow, but I promise you if you come up to any of
these so many times, there'll be somebody that can talk, and you don't have to say a
single word.
Unlike when I first came out, they promised me I wouldn't have to say anything, hey,
oh, you're going to be a silent partner, and I'd end up doing 99% of the talking.
Not because I wanted to, because I had to.
We ended up going to an apartment complex.
There was nothing but Spanish speakers,
and my pastor did not speak any Spanish.
So, of course, I'm like,
hey, I don't know what to do.
Hey, you want them to burn in hell?
I was like, no, do something.
I'm like, all right.
Let's do it.
Senor, excuse me.
And I did my best,
but they knew the message I was preaching.
And so of course when I think about souls I'm kind of ready in case somebody ever says why do you do this?
Why you're knocking on doors? I'm gonna just say because I don't want you to burn
burn like an oven and what do you mean by that? Malachi for behold the day cometh
that shall burn as an oven and all the proud, yay, and all that do wickedly shall
be stubble and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord the
host, that it shall leave the another root nor branch and that's what I think of.
I burn myself many times trying to grab something in the oven.
I just did it the other day, you know, try to be sneaky
and try to grab the little peas that I think is cold
and accidentally, it's like playing that game.
What is that game? Is it the one where you like have to
pick like a bone or something? What is it? Operation.
That's kind of what it was. I was doing operation
with a hot oven over here thinking I can grab it.
I can hold it. It's not that big of a deal.
I just don't have to touch this piece of metal.
Bam! And as soon as I thought that, I ended up touching it.
I'm burning and I'm doing a little happy dance, you know?
So, of course, I know the pain that's gonna come upon those that don't get saved.
You know, when I think of it, they're gonna burn as an oven.
It's like, man, I gotta save as many as I can with the one life that I have to live.
Well, let me put it this way.
Not live, but give.
Because we got eternal life.
We got this life and the next life.
So we don't have one life to live.
Live it up.
Go enjoy life.
Hey, I enjoy life.
But let's just face it, hey, this is a war.
And no man that worth entangling themselves with the affairs of this life, that's what the Bible says.
He says, hey, and their hardness is a good soldier of Christ that you may please them who has chosen you to be a soldier
So let's soldier up and get as good as we possibly can and go fight the battle and the battle is the battle for souls
Whether you do it Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday, you name it. Yes, I can do it just about every single day
But listen when I was working for Cox
Cable all I had was just Sundays between services and I knew it sucked. I worked Monday through Saturday. It was a pain
And I had to force myself to go out.
And that was at least a couple of times
that I passed out in the van because I was so tired.
It was my only day off, but I knew.
I knew I had to get out there and win some souls
because guess what, that's the whole purpose of my life.
And if you think about it, that's a great purpose.
It's an amazing purpose.
You know, it's sad to say, but my kids,
they train jiu-jitsu.
You know, they do jiu-jitsu a lot.
They really get at it.
I don't want to say which one just got to go metal,
but she just got to go, there you go, messed it up.
They just got a gold medal, but you know what? Here's the thing
Unfortunately this week one of their training partners. He's from Brazil
And this training partner was just like a regular day,
wakes up, just like any other day, goes to the gym,
my kids are at the gym, everybody's meeting up,
they're in the pro class,
and so they're all getting ready to compete
and the coach walks in and he calls this kid out.
He's like, hey, I need to talk to you in the office.
Everybody's like, whoa, what's going on?
Kid gets up, goes to the office.
Next thing you know, this happened maybe three days ago,
happened on Friday, I believe, or Saturday,
but I think it was Friday.
So he comes out of the office and he starts heading towards the bathroom and you could tell he's physically shaking
You could tell he's all teared up and then sure enough my kids finally found out
That the coach called him in the office to tell him that his mother just committed suicide in Brazil
And he couldn't believe it
So he's going to the bathroom just talking to himself like how could this happen? How could this happen?
And this is what happens when you just don't think you have a purpose in life
This is when you start listening to that deceitful heart of yours
And I don't know about you, but that kind of makes me just want to go out even more because guess what where there's one
There's a million more
People that are just on the brink of killing themselves. We get those emails
Sometimes I call them and I have a conversation and then later on they're sending me an email
Hey, thanks for talking me out of doing it and it's a praise the Lord you woke up
But you know what? I think as long as you keep that in front of your face and you realize you know what?
I have a purpose. That purpose is to save souls. That purpose is to rescue people out of the fire.
That purpose is to keep people from burning as an oven. I think you'll have a hard time killing yourself, amen?
So let's stay focused on the main thing. It's not the only thing, but it's the main thing to get out there and seeking to save those which are lost.
So next the next mother that's thinking about killing herself and you had a younger sister and just so you know this kid is 16 years old
16 years old out here training trying to bring honor to his family when a gold medal in the kids pan games that they have next month and
Now he's just broken completely broken and we don't know what's going on with him at this point
But you know what first chance I get guess what I'm gonna try to do pull him out of the fire. Amen
And let's not forget that it's a literal fire. 2nd Thessalonians 1-8 says this,
Inflaming fire, take inventions on them that know not God and that obey not the
gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. And of course, in case people are still
wondering, hey, what are we being saved from? Hey, brought them out and said,
sirs, what must I do to be saved? And you're thinking this doesn't make any
sense, we're all saved, we all believe in hell, well-believe hell is real, but
guess what, not everybody does.
And so the thing is this, obviously everybody here I've gone so windy with a lot of you
and you all do a great job, a lot of you guys have different ways of doing business and
that's okay, it's the middle ways of skin and cat, amen?
So I'm not about a you know what you should do a mile away. I'm not about that
There's just one thing that I want to quickly get to that I want to bring up because I've seen it throughout the years and
In case you're thinking surely we all believe hell is fire. Come on, but it's a girl. You're wasting your time on us
Am I am I because let me tell you something. I
think it was about
20 something. No, I can't say that long. I don't know how long it was, but it was over 20 years ago
Me and my wife were giving this church member a ride home.
She's been at this church for over 20 plus years.
She's gone so many, she passes out tracks,
she does her thing.
She's been at this church for about 20 something years,
my church back home.
We're giving her a ride, we're talking to her, we start talking about how we got saved.
And she starts talking about how she got saved.
That's when Baptist guy came up to her, sorry if I might be my nose, came up to her, started
asking her if she's saved, she's like, I don't know, gave her the gospel, then she ended
up basically saying, yeah, I'm glad he gave me the gospel, you know, I'm so happy that
he gave me the gospel, you know, I ended up getting saved that day.
And we're thinking amen.
But I know I got saved and at that point we didn't give an amen
And I'm thinking wait a minute. How did you what did you what what were you trying to escape when what did you get saved that day from?
And so we just kept listening and listening and we're like this woman is not safe. I mean come on
Do you really think you're safe if you didn't believe that you were being saved from hell?
Do you really think you're saved or do you really believe somebody's saved if they think that somebody can be saved that doesn't believe in hell?
No, that's what you're being saved from from the flame in fire
From eternal damnation from everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels
That's what we're being saved from. I mean I knew what I was being saved from when I got saved
Hey, I knew I deserved hell. I just didn't know Jesus died for all of my sins
I knew he died, but I didn't realize he died for every single one of my sins and I'm for sure didn't know eternal life was a gift
I thought it was a reward. I'm so glad that somebody showed me that and when I saw that it blew me away. I
Could not believe it. I was a little upset that I've been going to church my whole life
And nobody ever brought that up, but of course I was going to the Catholic Church
So of course no one's gonna bring that up
And, of course, the one person that brought it up in my life was a Baptist pastor.
And that blew my mind and it changed me.
I'm like, wow.
And he said, do you believe it?
Yes, I do.
Do you want that gift?
Absolutely.
Well, look, it says it's the only person that can give it to you.
Who is it?
Well, it says right there in Romans.
It's through Jesus.
And he's like, hey, listen, I want to tell you exactly what you have to do when he gave me the gospel.
He's like, you believe it? Yes, I do.
Then before I go, I want to help you pray and ask Jesus to give you eternal life right now that we know for sure you have it.
I'm like, absolutely, let's do it.
All right, my friend is like, I'm going to help you with the words, but it's your faith that's going to get you saved, not my words.
You understand? Absolutely.
And then I'm doing the sinner's prayer afterwards.
He's like, hey, listen, so if you die right now, where are you going to go?
I'm going to heaven. Why is that? Because I believe.
He's like, amen.
But when he asked me that earlier, I said, because I'm baptized, because I got the Pope.
That was one of my answers, because in case you can't tell, I'm a Marine.
Surely if I go and die for my country, God, I'll let me into heaven.
That's absolutely what I told him, because I was in my Marine uniform.
That's why he was interested, or he came up to me, was interested to see who I was.
You know, I just got recalled back and I was in my Marine uniform.
And so, yeah, I thought being somebody who would give their lives, you know, for others,
And now if you think that's stupid well other I mean who did I who was I going someone in with and some girl says I'm going to
Valhalla
Who was with me?
Yeah, right, so we're not gonna door in this girl. We're like hey if you die today, where are you gonna go?
Are you going to heaven nope, but I'm going to Valhalla
Okay, come on and minute who knows what Valhalla is
All right, all right, let me catch everybody up to speed.
Vahala is a fake heaven that has to do with,
I don't know, I spoke to the pastor about it,
but I'm going to give you the dumbed-down version.
It's Thor, it's Marvel Comics.
All right?
That's where Thor would go if he would have not just died,
but in order for you to make it to Vahala,
you have to die in battle, you have to die in war.
That's not that's not far different from what I believe when I was a Catholic
Laugh it up because that's funny come on
Not too different pretty much the same answer right then we kind of decided to go with it
We're like well listen how you gonna enter into the Hala if you're not fighting a war what war are you fighting?
She said they're like you got a point
In my line she's like you're right. I got to go find me a war to fight
Because that's the only way you're gonna make it to Bahá'u'lláh. You have to die in battle
That's the only way and she wasn't fighting any battles. Maybe she fights him in who knows her head. I don't know
But those don't count
But bottom line this what happened with that lady. She said that she doesn't believe you need to believe in hell
In order to be saved
Well, I had to double check that. I'm like, you know, let me double check that not
I ain't double checking nothing.
That's what you have to believe in order to be saved.
And listen, that wasn't the only person who said that.
That was from an independent fundamental,
King James only so many Baptist church.
So to speak, I was interested in just kind of seeing
what my old churches were up to about four years ago.
And so I decided to Google the two biggest churches.
One that I went to one was Redwood Baptist. Yeah, they were just kind of like lame-looking. They're more like
Liberal the purple lights, you know the pastor has like probably the same people since I was there
Then I figured okay, let me see what the other church I used to go to is up to and that's Nor valley Baptist Church
So I decided to listen to whatever the latest sermon was from the pastor of that church
Pastor Trieber, Jack Trieber, so I started to listen to it and so I'm listening and listening and it's because it popped up
While I'm uploading videos. I'm like, oh, Nor valley has a channel now
Well, five thousand man have like eight thousand members. I'm like, hey, let me see what they're up to just curious
I'm like, let me see what he's preaching click down it
He's preaching preaching preaching preaching. I'm listening to the whole thing
Then he talks about a person that he recently got saved
He's like, I was on soul and in amen and I met this man and I gave him the gospel and I prayed with him
And that man got saved hallelujah. Hallelujah. Amen. He got saved and we were talking
We were just chatting it up, you know
I had time to talk and I'm talking to this man and I told him praise the Lord one day when I go home
I don't have to worry about hell anymore and he said something that just shocked me. He said sir
I don't believe in hell. What do you mean?
I think that's just people's say to get people into church.
And I'm thinking, what did he just say?
Get it?
So he got a person saved, he's praising, he's excited,
starts to chit chat with the guy.
Somehow, some way, hell gets brought up again.
And the guy finally says, hey, I don't believe in hell.
I think that place ain't real.
Sir, it's very real.
But praise the Lord, this man at least is saved.
that is damnable heresy that is not the gospel the gospel is the good news what's
the good news that guess what you can be saved for free you don't have to go to
hell salvation is a gift it's eternal forever that's the gospel not like well
if you believe on Jesus you'll be saved from something we don't know what it is
but you're saved from something what in the world
So, here's the bottom line, that is not the only time I've heard it, and so of course
I spoke to Pastor Jimenez, I'm like, yeah, I got a question for you.
Back here, who knows how long ago, just curious.
I didn't know that he is now friends with Trevor.
But I'm like, yeah, I got a question.
Can somebody be saved if they don't believe in hell?
He's like, absolutely not.
Doesn't they have to believe in hell,
the hell of the Bible, where it's the everlasting fire,
you know, the lake of fire.
Don't they have to believe that in order to be saved?
Of course.
That's what I'm thinking.
Because I should listen to a sermon from Pastor Jack Trieber,
and he says, no, you're good.
He's like, yeah, that's what I thought.
What the heck?
And that's just left it alone.
Do what you want with that info.
No, I'm just kidding.
But that is a true story and I don't know if you ask him he might remember the conversation
It was right in there
We're walking back into the auditorium, and I'm like hey, I got a question for you
Because here's the deal
I've seen people pray with people and later turns out that individual didn't get saved and these people were just help been uncounting them
I'm like nah, brah. We don't do that here a faithful word
If people don't believe in hell. Hey, I'm sorry, but we ain't counting that person
You got to get your doctors straight my boy
And that's the fact.
And so of course, you're going to run into these situations, you know, and that's kind
of the thing that I try to get to right away, especially if I think, you know what, I don't
know if I can get this person saved, like in the next 20 minutes, let's say he doesn't
have time.
So what I like to do, obviously, knock on the door, just really quickly, I'm going to
just go through kind of what I do, and then I'm going to park it, and then I'm just going
to explain a little bit more of what I'm talking about.
because that's one of the things that I've seen and I've noticed and as an
example I think um is Lola here your wife in here she's in the back Lola might
remember this story so we were in Mexico and we're giving the gospel out in
Mexico and so we had um I don't know how many 13 14 people but we're in this one
part of Mexico and it was in Murice and we were there the whole day but then the
So we decided to drive 20 minutes later and so what happened is we just started, you know, driving, we got to another location, started giving the gospel.
I see some kids, I walk up to the kids, I'm like, hey, I got a question.
You know, it's like, do you guys go to church? They're like, oh, yeah, we're Catholic, the sonata, whatever.
And so then I start saying, hey, you know what, if you guys died right now, where are you going to go?
And they're like, we don't know.
We're like, okay. Well, you know what the Bible says you can't know, you know, do you guys got because they were walking so I'm like
Do you guys got time to talk? They're like sure so then we started giving them the gospel and
And they were giving the right answers. They were giving the right answers like yeah, yeah
You know, it's like yeah, we're all saying there's this and that and I'm thinking okay
That's interesting and so it was what it was
I just got to the part where I told them a listen because of our sins
You know, we deserve hell and I just happened to throw it out there
Do you guys believe in hell and they say without even?
Well, I don't even think, and they're like, nope, we don't, we don't believe in it.
Okay, well can I show you where the Bible talks about hell?
And they're like, sure, then I'll start giving them the gospel.
Then afterwards I started asking them what's the one thing it seemed like they got it
It's there for that part and then afterwards. I'm like, what do you have to do?
What do you think you have to do to go to heaven? They're like believe on the Lord Jesus Christ
I'm like, how do they know this?
You know, what's going on? I was just confused because they said they were Catholic
But they're giving the right answers, but they didn't believe in hell and I said, where did you learn that?
All you have to do is believe. Oh, we learned it from those guys over there
and it was one of our soul winners.
So it was a couple of our soul winners walking,
you know, from another location.
I'm like, they taught you this?
I'm like, okay, no wonder you're like 99% there.
And I just wrapped it up and just told them,
hey, listen, this is what the Bible says.
This is what I believe.
You know what?
You have to believe in hell in order to be saved.
You understand now what you're being saved from.
And they're like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I said, okay, well, hey, this is what you have to believe.
You know, do you understand it?
Yeah, but more importantly, do you believe it?
Yes, I do, again, the whole thing.
It's like, well, listen, if this is what you believe,
then before I go, hey, only you know
if you need to get saved.
You know, would you like me to help you?
You know, pray and ask Christ to save you.
And they're like, yeah, absolutely.
And we ended up praying with them.
And once we were done, the guys come over
and they're like, yeah, we spoke to them yesterday.
They're ready to save.
But when I asked them, they weren't.
They weren't sure.
and they sure as hell didn't believe in hell and that's just kind of what I've
noticed is that especially like younger people you know I told you that a pulling
them out of fire some people hard to pull than others you know sometimes kids
or they were young they were teenagers they tend to agree but internally they
disagree because they're nice kids
and you kind of have to be careful with the people
that are slow to answer,
and then you're just feeding them the answer,
and they just repeat it because they know,
if I say no, he's gonna talk more,
and I kind of want to go back to my video games.
It's just what happens.
I hear you laughing now.
Remember that story, Lola?
Those kids in Mexico, you're like,
hey, come talk to these kids?
Don't worry, you'll remember sooner or later.
But to just wrap up this sermon. I'm 23 minutes in
Here's pretty much what I tried to do
Because it's getting worse and worse and worse see back in my day when I was 18 19 20 16 14
We all we all thought every time we said hell hell is a place of fire
Hell's a place that you're gonna be punished forever. Hell's eternal nowadays kids. They don't even know what it is
It's just facts. They just don't know they've been watching too much for Hala
So they're confused by Thor and everybody else on the Marvel team
So we need to make sure that we do the best job we can and
That's it because I don't want people praying and and I guess you can say falsely converting these people
But just to kind of give you an idea of what I do really quickly and then I'll kind of explain how I start talking about hell
You know, because I have to change things a little bit,
and it's not too different than what 99.9% of you guys do.
And the people that have been going so many for a while,
hey, you guys are laughing because you've seen this,
you know what I'm saying,
you've probably experienced it more than once,
but the newer crowd is kind of who I'm aiming
to kind of like educate
or just kind of bring to light this information.
You know, so of course, every single time
I'm not gonna door walk up to someone,
whether it's in a cab, you name it,
one of the things that I like to ask is like,
hey, have you ever been to a Baptist church?
The goal is to quickly get into hell.
Quickly start talking about hell, why?
Because I need to give them a reason to keep listening.
Because I've had many people say, oh, I don't got time.
Not right now, I don't got five minutes.
I'm like, OK, well, can I just show you
one thing on the back of this paper?
You know, this is a little QR code.
If you scan a picture to a video,
well, you can watch the whole thing.
But can I just quickly show you something on the back of it?
And they're like, sure.
And so what I like to do is take in the Romans 5.8, and I use Romans 5.8 to kind of get into hell right away.
And what Romans 5.8 says, it says,
But God command us His love towards us, because the other verses I just quote.
So I'll tell them I'm going to show them one thing, but I'm going to quote everything on this piece of paper.
Call this sneaky, call it what you want.
So they usually say yes to me just showing them one thing on this piece of paper,
because it looks tiny and how much information could possibly be on that piece of paper.
That's what they're thinking.
But I've done it many times and 20 minutes later. They're praying. They're praying and asking God to save them from hell
They everlasting fire the lake of fire
So what I usually do is this knock knock who's there? Hey, how you doing? My name is Chris
You know these are my friends were from faithful word Baptist church
I like saying our name because I'm proud of my church. Amen. I
Like saying hey faithful word Baptist church
You know, but I kind of changed it a little bit and now I just say,
we're from faithful word Baptist, just inviting people to our service.
You know, just want to give an invitation, do you go to church anywhere?
And the reason I do it that way is because before it used to sound like a weirdo.
Here's how I used to sound.
Hey, how are you doing? I was nervous, but I sounded weird.
Even when I would do it, I'm like, man, that sounds weird.
I got to change this somehow.
But in the moment, I'm just like, hey, this is all I know.
I'm going to go with it until I figure this thing out.
So this is what I used to do.
Hello, my name is Chris, these are my friends.
We're from Faithful Word Baptist Church is inviting people to church.
Do you go to church anywhere?
It's like church, church, church, church.
If you do that, hey, keep doing it until you break out of that habit.
Here's something that I recommend you do.
Hey, we're from Faithful Word Baptist.
The last thing I want them to hear is Baptist in case they're like,
oh, I'm not interested.
I want them to know they're rejecting a Baptist church.
So I said, hey, we're from B4 Baptist.
Just inviting people to our service.
You know, do you guys go to church anywhere?
Come on, that sounds a little bit more cool.
Come on.
Keep it cool, people.
Keep it cool.
So then, of course, they're like, oh,
we ready to go to church?
Oh, no, we don't.
Then the next step is easy.
Well, listen, have you ever been to a Baptist church?
That's the next thing I ask.
They're gonna be like, no, or yes, whatever they say,
I just bring this up.
Well, the reason I'm asking,
because the most important thing about this,
is make sure people go to heaven.
I want to get straight to the point.
That's what we're talking to everyone,
because we want everyone to go to heaven.
Because what they're thinking,
oh, church people, they just want my money.
They just want me to be a part of their church,
I could pay for their pastors and Mercedes.
Are there assistant pastors and Mercedes?
Those that don't know you'll figure it out later ask somebody that knows somebody
So then of course, you know if they say yes, hey, then you know the most important thing is go into heaven
You know, that's the most important thing about to make sure people don't go to hell
We're here make sure people go to heaven. That ain't something they're gonna say crazy. They'll be like oh cool
Then the next thing I do say listen, you know cuz we're all gonna be gone one day
But if you die right now, where are you gonna go heaven or hell?
That's what I say heaven and hell that's what my pastor did to me and that's what I'm doing to people and I explain
Why in a second before I used to say hey, are you 100% sure you're going to heaven?
But here's kind of how I say that for a little bit afterwards. I said listen if you don't remember we're gonna go heaven or hell do you
Not know um heaven, but are you 100% sure?
Not a hundred but pretty sure so then of course what we recommend is that they're not a hundred percent sure to say well
Listen, can I show you what the Bible says or you can ask them to see if they even believe the Bible?
Hey, you believe the Bible's a word of God. What can I just quickly show you what it says?
You got about five minutes. No, no, I'm kind of busy right now. No worries. Well, can I give an invitation? Sure
They usually say yes when you bring it up that way. Sure. No worries. Here you go
Hey, listen, let me give you one more thing, you know in the back of this paper is the Bible way to heaven
You know, this is the most important thing.
Take a look at that when you get a chance.
You know, but can I just show you one thing
on the back of this before I go?
Sure, no problem.
Hey, the one thing I want to show you really quickly,
because these already know.
All it says, nobody's perfect.
None of us are perfect.
The Bible says all have sinned.
I know I sinned before you ever sinned before.
Oh yeah, I've sinned before.
Yeah, I've done bad things.
I'm sure you've done bad things.
Then after that, I just said, but listen,
even though we do bad things,
the Bible says that Christ still loves us.
Romans 5, 8 says,
but God commenced his love towards us.
And that while we were yet sinners,
Christ died for us. He didn't die for us because we stopped being sinners. He died for us even
though we were sinning against him. While we were sinners, he still died for us because
he loves us and because there's a hell. That's how you get the hell right away. And then
I just simply ask him, do you believe in hell? And usually they say yes. Then my next question
is, well, what do you believe hell is? And they usually struggle with that answer. They're
like, well, I think this life is hell.
Well, I say, hey, can I just show you a quick verse on hell?
Is that okay?
And that's where I open up my Bible.
It's tabbed up, ready to go.
It's tabbed, the red tab.
If you ever grab my Bible, the red tab goes straight to hell.
The other yellow tabs, they're just for salvation.
If I ever tabbed up a Bible, that's how I do it.
Red tab, yellow tab, yellow tab, all the verses on salvation, the red tab, straight to hell.
So then of course the one place I go to is mark 9 might 943 as I can I just quickly show you some verse on hell because now
If they say yes, you know, I'm just going to get their attention and if they reject me after that
Who knows and it is what it is. Hopefully they'll see the video read the invite. I don't know
I don't know how much time I got with this person
Which is why I'm trying to get the hell as fast as possible
So I can at least talk about the most important thing they need to know that hell is real and if you don't get saved
You're gonna go there
So that's what I try to quickly get to it and what I do is I go to mark nine
And so of course if somebody says well, I believe this life is hell or I don't think there is a hell or here's a true story
So I went out last Sunday
Park the van looked for the first team just figured out yoke up with the first team and I link up with this one team
And so the soul winner is doing a good job.
I'm just there just kind of just right there
just to be with them, you know,
just to go so many with somebody
cause I have to drop them off and find a place to park.
So they get out, they go do their thing.
First team I find I figured, okay,
I'll just join up with them as it was going on.
And then they're giving the gospel,
they're doing a good job.
You know, this person is like answering yes, yes, yes.
You know, nothing on the soul winner
that I've seen that's just messed up.
You know, but, you know, he gives them everything.
He's like, yeah, that's exactly what the Bible says.
Would you like me to pray with you?
And they're like, yeah, sure, no problem.
You know, this person was a young teenage girl.
She was slow to answer.
And that always makes me nervous
when they're slow to answer.
Like, what do you have to do?
What's the say you have to do?
And she's like, uh, believe.
So then that always makes me nervous
because I'm thinking they may not actually believe
what they're saying, that they're not saying it
with confidence, because if they're not confident,
how am I supposed to be confident
that they believe what you're showing them?
But I'm just listening and ensuring now if he prays with her says hey listen now that you're saved
You should come to church if you need a ride call the number and then I'm thinking okay because I've seen that
I've seen where people just get somebody saved seen it multiple times
When I was this one guy who's no longer part of our church, but I even told him a why don't you double check it?
They really understood like why do you just declare him saved right afterwards? We've never thought that I mean
It's not gonna hurt just a quick question. Here's what I mean by that this person prays with them
Oh, well, now that you're saved, you come to church, et cetera, et cetera.
But what we like to say is, listen, when you pray with them,
just ask them, did you mean that?
Usually people say, yes, I did.
You know, so then if you die right now, where are you going to go?
I'm going to heaven.
Why?
Just a quick why.
Well, what do you mean why?
If somebody answers that way, do you really think they got it?
They say, why?
Why would you go to heaven right now?
Because I'm a good person.
Did they get it?
Who's had that happen to them?
So, just because you prayed with someone, don't just declare them saved.
This is what happened.
And I've seen this happen throughout the years.
And so, of course, my new thing that I like to do is that if they answer correctly,
they're like, yeah, I'm going to heaven.
I like to say, well, great, now that you're sure you're going to heaven,
now that you're, oh, no, this is what I do.
So, when they say, yeah, I'm going to heaven, I say, but are you 100% sure?
And I kind of put them on the spot because I wanted them to answer from the heart.
So when I say, listen, you just pray not Jesus give you eternal life, you believe He did it?
Yes, He did. So if you die right now, where are you going to go?
Heaven.
But are you 100% sure?
A, lying is a sin.
No answer, honestly.
And I did do that, but not in that jerk type of way.
So Jonathan was with me with a family of like five people.
I'm giving them the gospel.
Young children, they're agreeing to everything.
He knows, remember that?
Like, hey, was I doing a good job?
You know I was entertaining them just so you know when I have a big crowd I use my tablet
I use my z-fold I got big verses
I blow them up and I got like all these kids. I'm highly entertaining them. Am I not but am I sugarcoating it?
Absolutely not
And I'll kind of show you what I do with the kids, you know, but then afterwards I'm like double-checking. Hey, you guys believe in hell
Yeah, you guys, you know what you have to do believe it's like that all you have to do
Yes, you have to be baptized. No, can you lose that? No, what if you come in a really bad saying? No, no, no, no
No, these are five people say well listen, you know, and I went through the whole thing at the end
I'm like hey, would you guys like me to pray and help you to ask Jesus to give eternal life?
They all said yes did they not?
They all did including the dad that that was there. So I got an adult like four kids
So then I ended up saying okay that I'm gonna help you guys praying as Jesus to save you and I did so I prayed with them
Then at the end it's like hey you guys just ask Jesus Christ to give you eternal life. Do you guys believe he did it?
Yes, he did so if you guys die right now, we're gonna go. They all said heaven. Did they not?
Then I said well okay one last question remember lying is a sin and this can you guys can say well
You're kind of making them doubt their salvation, but then I explained the other people who answer in a different manner
So then I said say okay well remember kids lying is a sin
So just be honest, but are you guys a hundred percent sure going to heaven without even thinking about it?
They all said no they started shaking it. I'm not a hundred. I'm not a hundred neither mine. No no no
One by one they all went down did they not?
Including the dad, but I already knew the dad didn't believe because he was trying to bring up baptism
So I kind of stopped focusing on him and kept focusing on the kids because he was kind of like a lost cause
He was kind of saw me down. He was you know killing my thunder you could say
So I decided I'm still gonna talk to the group out of folks more than the kids and these kids were old enough to understand
What would you say 10 8 6? I don't think any of them was a teenager
Eight probably was the oldest, you know, but they were answering correctly. So I went waited decided to do my thing
But at the end, hey, that's what it was, kids will just agree, but internally they really don't agree.
I'm not saying all kids, but I'm saying be careful with some of them.
But the person from last Sunday was a teenage girl.
She was answering correctly, but at the end she didn't really believe.
But you got to kind of do what you can to figure it out, like what exactly is going on.
So, what I obviously do is I ask people just a quick question because I don't think it's
a hard question.
You know, once I introduce myself, once I tell them over there, once I ask them, they
don't know for sure they're going to heaven, then the next step is simply just saying,
well, listen, you know, if you're 100% sure.
Going heaven great, you know, but what is it to give the good answer if I believe they're safe great move on
Then I try to say now that you're safe. You know what God wants you to do get other people saved
We can help you do that come to church bring a friend we can tell them about heaven
We can tell them by hell we can show them how to get saved etc
etc
But for other people that they're not sure if there's a hell or not then the place that I go to is mark 9
So we're right there and mark 9 so I'll quickly wrap it with this. I don't even know how much time I got left
I pressed the wrong button
All right 3658. I'm gonna wrap it up with this. So here's basically what I do with
people that answer like this. So believe in hell? Yeah! What do you believe in hell is?
I don't know. A bad place to believe in fire? Could be. Let's have those answers.
But the thing is, if you go to Revelation 21.8, which is what a lot of us do, you got to be careful
assuming that they actually agree with what you showed them. Because a lot of times, 99% of the time, you go to Revelation 21.8
and you show them, but they're fearful, they're believing the abominable murderers, homeroomers,
officers, adulterers, etc. and all liars. And then you explain it well,
the lake of fire gets what they all tend to say. Yeah, that place is hell.
What place is this talking about? That place is hell. But that doesn't mean they believe it's real.
Just giving you the heads up.
Just from what I've seen because this happened in Mexico. We had two-star winners winning to some kids and I thought it was a miracle
That word we drove 20 minutes the next day to a different location and there they are in the streets and
Then there are that go up to them and they ended up getting saved the second day. I
Mean when they're answering we're not sure where we're going when we die. They're not saved
Even though somebody else prayed with them the day before
It just happens
You know, by here we believe that they need to believe in hell in order to be saved. Amen?
So let me just quickly show you how I do it and I do it because this is how I do it. It works for kids, especially kids.
So we're right there in Mark 943. I just said, well, let me just show you some verses on hell really quick.
And I'm not saying that you have to do it this way.
It's not what we're teaching. The best soul winning teachings I think on the planet are
Pastor Anderson's Detroit soul winning marathon seminars that he gave. He gave about five of
them. Who knows what I'm talking about? I just want to get a number. Look 90 90 percent of you
have no idea what I'm talking about. I got to get that in your hands somehow some way.
So hopefully where's brother Ramon? Hopefully we can get that started, right?
Where we get a whole soul winning rumble channel
There's nothing but soul winning videos and just start letting people know where they can start watching and listening
And your soul winning will get fast really quick those five seminars. They're really good. Who's seeing them again?
Hey, I know he's your pastor, but aren't they the best that's on the planet?
The best they're the best all five you listen all five instantly. You'll become like a really amazing soul winner
Just being honest. That's just how I felt like wow like pastor is like preaching like he's on his a game again
But this is about giving the gospel. So if you're like man this for me, they ain't doing it go over there
He got you all right. He'll he'll make up for what I do, but this is just what I do just have fun with it and you know
Jonathan Zombie in action with Mark 943. Those kids are going nuts.
So here's what I do. I said, hey, can I just quickly show you some verses?
Yeah, let me show you. This is what I call the hell chapter, Mark 9,
because I want to talk about hell, because this is a person who's not sure what hell is.
You're literally just shoulder in Revelation 21-8. Tell them what place is this talking about?
They literally just said hell. I just happened to ask. Do you believe in hell?
They said, no, I don't. It happens. Who's had that happen to them?
Try it out. You'll be surprised. People will literally look at that verse say, yeah, that's talking about hell. It's like, do you believe in hell? Nope
Do you believe in hell? Yep. What do you believe it is? I don't know. Bahá'u'lláh
That's what I believe it is. Well, can I just quickly show you what hell is and then I get into it
And so of course Mark 9, this is what I do, I read the whole thing, the whole thing right
away I'm just going to read it with you guys, don't worry I'm hoping to wrap it up in 15
minutes.
So Mark 9 says this, and if the hand of Fendi cut it off, it is better for you to enter into
life main than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire, than ever to be quenched
with the one that's not in the fire, it's not quenched, and if that foot of Fendi cut
it off, it is better for you to enter, hold into life, than having two feet to be cast
into hell, and then I make them read it, into the what, fire.
That never shall be quenched, with the one that is not, and the fire is not quenched."
And I just explained, listen, this is not going to stop, this is not quenched, you cannot
put it out.
It can never be turned off.
It says, and it's like, I offend thee, pluck it out, and then I just point that part out
where it says kingdom of God.
It says, it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God, and I'll tell them what
place is that talking about?
Heaven.
I'm like, do your beliefs believe in heaven?
Oh yeah, I believe in heaven.
So the kingdom of God that's heaven says it's better for you to enter the kingdom of God one night
Then having two eyes to be cast in tell what I make them read it
If you got your Bible says hell fire
Worth the one thing not and I keep pointing it out listen in the fire
It's not quench for everyone shall be salted with fire. That's why I finish it
And I just tell him this, listen, Jesus is not saying to cut off your hand.
Jesus is not saying to cut off your foot.
Jesus is not saying to pluck out your own eyeball so you can go to heaven.
He's kind of trying to show us how painful it is and this is how I get the kids' attention.
You know, and I've never done this but I'm trying to get your attention right now.
So this is from my brother Thompson.
And brother Thompson sent me this, I think on a Christmas, a Christmas, I don't know, week.
But he sent me one of these.
So brother Thompson says me one of these and I'm like great awesome. Hopefully he's not watching and I'm thinking what I need this for
Like self-defense
You know, it's I already got two guns. I care all the time. What I need this for
Like for real it's like I don't know if I can throw it and hit something with it
Like man, they'll pick it up and I gotta run now. They're gonna hit me with it
So I'm like, what am I gonna use this for and I've never thought
to this day what I can use it for I'm just not that woodsy type of dude I don't go to the woods I'm
a city boy I like to buy I don't like Alaska you know that's not me you know I read it just
I like technology I don't like smelling the bushes roses none of that you know I don't like any of
that stuff so I'm like what the heck am I ever going to use this for until today baby until today
You saw where it says, if the eye affinity cut it off,
or cut it out, if your foot affinity cut it off,
eye affinity pluck it out.
It's like, hey, God's not telling you to do these things
so you can go to heaven.
He's kind of trying to show you how painful hell is.
Because it says, if the hand affinity cut it off.
And it says, if the foot affinity cut it off.
Lola, you're laughing, you know where I'm going with this.
And it says, if that eye-offending pluck it out.
And that's how I explain it to little kids,
and even adults just kind of wake them up
and show them that they have something to be afraid of.
I simply say this, listen, I'm being honest with you,
this is what I tell them.
It says right there, if your eye-offending pluck it out.
It's like, listen, I can probably see myself,
I can probably see myself, if I had to, if I had to,
cut off my hand, cut off my hand, you know?
order to escape hell I can see myself doing it I can totally see myself like
like squirting everywhere and passing out totally see that happen I can I can
see myself doing that like man I hope those bicep curls got kicking in right
now because I can't afford to mess this up I don't want to chop twice so I'm
just like boom I can see myself doing that even my foot I can kind of see
But if I could have those go-go gadget legs and just, bam!
I can't probably do that, probably can, but I thought long and hard, long and hard.
And I always told myself, I always tell the kids too, you know one thing that I just cannot,
I just don't think I can do it.
Someone's gonna have to do it and y'all gonna have to hold me down hard.
I just don't see myself being able to pluck out my own eye.
I mean with what, my bare hands?
Like how do you even start to do that with a spoon?
Pop it out real quick, maybe but nah, I just don't see myself being able to do that. Maybe you but not me
Chopping it, bam. I think I can do that. Foot
Probably not as confident as my hand. Eyeball, no way. No way
But that's what I tell the kids.
Hey, just imagine cutting off your hand.
Just imagine how painful that would be.
Now imagine cutting off your foot.
How painful that would be.
Now imagine having to pluck out your,
that's the price to go to heaven.
Jesus is like, hey, only people that pluck out their eyes
are allowed to go to heaven.
Let's go.
Or you got an eternity of hell
to pay for all the bad stuff you've ever done.
I bet like, I don't know, Jesus is gonna have to get Michael.
Where is he? Is he busy?
Help a brother out. I can't I just can't do it. I just cannot do it
Maybe you can't but I can't but just imagine that pain chopping up your hand your foot and your own eyeball
Imagine that type of pain. That's what I tell even adults. Hey, that's the kind of pain you're gonna suffer if you end up in hell
That's what he's done this way and then I tell him look how many times the Bible says hell
Three times just in this small section. Look how many times it says that it's fire seven times
Seven times it says that it's fire and then five times five times Jesus tells us that it's eternal
You think he's joking around guess what 99.9 pretty much a hundred percent of the people usually say no
I don't think he's joking around
It's like a you understand these verses is I do but more funny do you believe them now and guess what most people do
I believe him now
And this is the people that aren't sure if there is a hell. These are the people that say, well, I believe there's a hell. What's hell? Vahala.
You believe in hell? Yes, I do. What do you believe hell is? This life is hell.
Well, let me show you that it's not. This is what I used to show them that it's not.
This is what I used to show them that hell is hot. This is what I used to show them that hell is painful. Hell is forever.
And you don't want to mess around with this because if you're wrong, guess where you're going to go?
This is where you're going to go.
And so, of course, I tell him, but if Jesus loves you,
do you think He wants you to go to hell?
They usually say, no, He doesn't want me to go to hell.
Yeah, but you know who does?
The devil.
The devil wants you to go to hell
because he's going to hell too.
And it says in Matthew 25, 41,
I quickly go to Matthew 25, 41,
it says, everlasting fire,
everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels.
And if those two sections of the Bible can't get the job done, then it's probably time to move on.
I'm working on a soul-winning song since Pastor has us on Spotify now. He has us on Apple Music.
All the greatest faithful work hits. They're all up there. Who knew that? Who didn't know that?
I'm glad you know that. If you don't know that, you know it now.
And so I've been working on a soul-winning song. You want to hear the chorus?
Let me give it to you because I haven't really finished my song. Here's the chorus.
Here's what it's gonna sound like, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam.
Here's my soul in this song to help you remember these points.
Bum, bum, bum.
You gotta know when to hold them, ba-no, know when to fold them, ba-no, know when to walk away,
know when to run, we don't count our souls.
Once a wedding is done
You're like what the heck
Here's what the heck
When it comes to so many
You got to know when to hold them. Don't just move on
Revelation 21 a what place they're talking about hell. You're right. Let me show you another verse
Make sure they believe in it
Before you move on
So you gotta know when to hold them know when to fold them
After you show them verses and they're just arguing with you and they don't want to change it's time to fold them. Amen
Know when to walk away. Sorry, brother, but hey, that's what the Bible says. I got to go and
You gotta know when to run. That's when the people comes out. Oh
Who have to run?
Also, look at the hands, that ain't me, look, look, look around.
Don't try to be the tough guy, oh there's dogs coming this way, oh we can take them.
Better run to somebody's house and knock for help or something.
So, when it comes to hell, that's the biggest thing I want to highlight.
It's make sure they believe in it.
We're not like Jack Treber. Well, yeah, well, yeah, yeah, you know after I spoke to him turns out he doesn't even believe in hell
But but praise the Lord is going to heaven. No, he's not he's going to hell
That's where that guy's going. Sorry, but the woman that we were talking about I was talking about earlier
Her name is Janet. Sorry Janet, but you're going to hell
She was old when we when we left so she's probably in hell right now
And I'm sorry, but if you convert someone, you're like,
hey, now that you're safe, et cetera, et cetera,
and I end up asking them, well, listen,
now that you're safe, you know what God wants you to do?
He wants you to get all the people saved.
You know, and let me ask you this.
Somebody would ask you, what must I do to be saved?
You know, what would you tell them?
I don't know.
Well, you'd be saved from hell.
Do you not believe in hell?
No, I don't.
And as I yelp so much, you just pray with this person,
we encounter him today.
I don't care if you get mad.
We ain't gonna count them and that's happened many times. I'm not trying to go so many with you just to pick your part
I'm not doing that
But sometimes if I notice these things and this one person I was with last Sunday, he's a humble dude
He's still here. I love him to death. I just want to show him something like you need to be aware of this stuff
Because it took me years to figure out that sometimes people agree, but internally they really disagree
And I don't want you guys to falsely convert people not that you're sending them to hell
That's not the point the point is that I've had situations where people literally say well, I don't believe in hell show them mark
943 oh see what you're saying. Yeah, I agree with that, but my point is I don't think I deserve it
I mean, I don't think I deserve to go to hell
Then I changed them with this verse acts 231 and he's seen this before spake of the resurrection of Christ that his soul
Was not left in hell
Jesus' soul was not left where? In hell.
Why did he go to hell? Because of his sins? No, because of your sins.
That's what I told this woman at the door, and she said,
You know what? Now you make sense, and now I believe it. You're right.
I do deserve to go to hell.
But there's a woman that wasn't even sure what hell was.
And after that, you think it was hard for me to get her saved?
No, once she realized you're right, I do deserve to go to hell.
Well, listen, if you want God to save you, you can save you right now.
You know the Bible says that all things will see if you're asked believing you shall receive you ask him to save right now
He'll do it. You're asking for salvation eternal life. It's all the same thing. You know, it's your ticket to heaven
You're not gonna go to hell if you call upon the Lord
That's what the Bible says was there to call upon the Lord shall be saved saved from what hell you understand it now
You believe it now great
And that's kind of how you need to
I guess finish it not exactly that way, but I want you guys to be aware of this because you guys do a great job at the door
Hey, my name is such-and-such. I just want to give an invitation to church. Can I give you one? Sure. Hey, that works
But let's be honest it'll get awkward if they say no
No, I'm good
Some people you can't do anything about they'll lock that door on you as soon as you as soon as they open in this
You got a bombing. Oh, no, I'm good. Boom. Nothing can do with them
But I've gotten many people saved just by saying,
well, listen, can I just give you a little bit of information
about our church?
On the back of this is the Bible way to heaven.
Can I just quickly show you one verse
even though I'm going to quote everything on the back?
They're like, sure.
And as soon as I say, well, listen,
the one thing I want to show you where it says,
God commands his love towards us.
And then while we were just sinners, Christ died for us.
He died because he loves us.
And because there's a hell, do you believe in hell?
Yeah, what do you believe hell is?
I don't know.
He said, well, you know what?
Can I take a little bit more time
to show you some verse on hell?
Yeah, go ahead.
20 minutes later, they're praying and getting saved.
Who's seeing me do that?
Look around.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
Ramoni's seeing me too?
Nine people have seen me.
I'm talking about people that didn't have time.
Those are people you guys are talking about?
People that didn't have time.
Oh, I don't got time right now.
I got stuff to do.
What can I show you one verse?
20 minutes later, they're getting saved.
Why? Because I try to get to the most important thing right away. I want to give them a reason to listen to me and
As soon as it starts saying with their own eyes how many times the Bible says fire and hell together
They kind of wake up a little bit and then they realize well, I'm gonna think of loose just finish it up, bro
I'm not saying I believe you but man
I didn't realize that it said hell that many times and it was fire
etc that many times and
so of course
This isn't like a super, super detailed,
soul-winning sermon, but if you take anything away
from this sermon, it's just make sure
they actually believe everything they're saying yes to.
A lot of stuff is easy, but the most important stuff
right here, the one about hell,
let's just realize this for now,
that sometimes they, yeah, I believe in hell,
they got the right help, but they don't believe
they deserve it, and does a whole another sermon,
I don't know, verses I think in your head
so you can help people out when it comes to that.
So I'm at 54, 48, and that's where I'm gonna end it, amen.
Let's pray.
Dear God, we thank you so much for all that you've done,
Lord.
Obviously, Father, there's a lot of things
we can learn about soul winning.
It is the most important thing, not the only thing,
but the most important thing to seek and to save
those which are lost.
Lord, even if you're somebody who's not considered
amazing by the world,
All of us can do something amazing for you and that's to save people from the fire
that they're going to obviously be in forever if they don't get saved.
So I ask you once again, Lord, to just help us to be better Christians, better soul winners,
better church members, better fathers, better friends, better sons and daughters,
and we ask you to do this for your honor and glory so we can serve you in the best way possible. Amen.
All right, let's sing one last song before we go.
Song number 281, song number 281,
Pass Me Not, O Gentile Save, your song number 281.
Pass Me Not, O Gentile Save.
Thank you for coming.
You are dismissed.
