Hey man, all right turn your Bibles to John chapter number one John chapter number one
like I said, we're not gonna do the Bible reading normally would read the whole chapter, but we and
I take I blame CJ for this that he read the wrong chapter now. I sent him the chapter
That he was supposed to read and I sent him the this one first and so he assumed
Which I normally do send him the right order, but I didn't last night
So it's my fault, but we read this this morning, so
We're just gonna pick up in verse number 40 where the Bible reads one of the two
Which heard John speak and followed him was Andrew Simon Peter's brother
He first findeth his own brother Simon, and he saith unto him
we have found the Messiah's which is being interpreted the Christ and
He brought him to Jesus and when Jesus beheld him
He said thou art Simon the son of Jonah thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation a stone
The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee and find a fill up and sayeth unto him follow me
Now skip to verse 45 it says fill up findeth Nathaniel and sayeth unto him
We have found him of whom Moses in the law and the private prophets did write
Jesus of Nazareth the son of Joseph the title of my sermon tonight is personal and
individual soul winning personal and
Individual soul winning let's pray Lord. We thank you so much for the scriptures Lord
I pray that you would fill me with boldness and power and fill me with your spirit as I preach this sermon
I pray Lord that
You would just be with me as I preach and that Lord the people be attentive to the Word of God tonight
I pray that you would just bless them in a special way for being here on a Sunday night where most people are out
Doing other things and and living their lives Lord that the people here
They they chose the first things the the the things of God to be the first things in their life this week
And Lord I pray bless them for those things in Jesus name pray. Amen
Alright, so personal and individual soul and I I chose this passage because you see
Personal soul winning going on here. Don't you in verse number one you see where you know you have disciples of John the Baptist
And and you have Andrew who is Simon Peter's brother. He says he first findeth his own brother
Simon and when people get saved they genuinely want to go to their family members and get their family members saved
Most of us in here that are anybody that's saved in here
Wants their family to be saved most people want their family to be saved
It's a it's it's kind of just a common thing if you don't want your family to be saved
I mean, it's like why would you not want your family to be saved of course people want their family to be saved
So who's he go to he goes to his brother?
He loves his brother his blood his brother after the flesh and wants him to be saved so he gets
Peter to come along with him and he findeth his own brother Simon and saith unto him
We've found the Messiah's we found the Messiah
That's what that means and that is interpreted as the Christ so when people say Jesus you know Jesus Christ
They're saying Jesus the Messiah. That's what it actually means and so when we say Jesus Christ
That's what it means it means Jesus the Messiah
That's the interpretation of it so and he brought him to Jesus so he brought Peter to Jesus
So you got that picture there you got that soul winning you got him bringing his brother to the Lord literally and
Figuratively so and when Jesus beheld him he said thou art Simon the son of Jonah thou shall be called Cephas
So he immediately nicknames him, so there's nothing wrong with me giving you nicknames if you if I've given them to you all right
He calls him Simon the son of Genesis. He said you should be called Cephas, which is interpretation a stone
So and then it says the day falling Jesus would go forth into Galilee and find a Philip so the leader is
You know Jesus Christ. He's the leader. He's the author and finisher of our faith
He's the Alpha and Omega, but he's not above going soul winning
He's not above going and personally going and talking to people himself by himself
He goes out, and he finds somebody who's he find he find a Philip and saith unto him follow me
Now in verse 45 you have Philip so Jesus gets Philip to follow him
Jesus gets Philip saved and then Philip finds somebody else you see the pattern here
He saw all these guys that keep saying findeth he findeth
He's finding someone these people these individuals here are finding other people to get saved
That's how we multiply that's how the Christian faith goes forward by multiplying
But what I'm not talking about a regular soul winning time here tonight. I'm talking about just your individual life
Not just you know we have all these times where we have so many and available for people to go out and win people
to Christ knock the doors there the Bible there is something to be said about being sent the Bible talks about that and
You know most ministries so many ministries will fall and fail if they're not
Sent by somebody you know there is a structure within the Bible people go. I hate organized religion
Well, then you just hate the Bible because the Bible has a lot of organization to it. There is organized religion in the Bible
But there also is times when outside of our soul winning times
Well, we're just what we're just bumping into people in our daily lives that we should also
Think about those people
God puts people in our lives every single day that we rub shoulders with or we we are
Acquaintances with or that we work with or that we just happen to talk to at a grocery store
we bump into people and talk to people in all facets of our life and
We and I'm not saying we should be just 24-7 evangelizing. That's all we should do
I'm not saying that but I'm just saying that
be aware that
God probably sets people in your life and places people in your life for you to individually soul win
so
Philip finds Nathaniel and what's he say we found him we found the one that in who Moses?
preached about who the prophets did write Jesus of
Nazareth so you have these different findings you have Andrew finds his family member Simon Peter he tells them about Jesus so
Individual soul winning a lot of people go individual sewing to their family members. That's a prayer request
I see a lot a prayer request a lot. I see in groups. Hey pray for me
I'm going to preach the gospel to my family member so-and-so my uncle my brother my sister whatever my
Family member Pam just got to share the other night that she got her sister saved who has
Some problems some health problems going on and a lot of times
Those are the times when it's a good time to share
Maybe they weren't prepared to hear it from you at one point
But you know when people are faced with their own mortality that is a good time to share
It's a good time to preach the gospel to someone in your family or some fan or some friend of yours
But Andrew finds his brother gets him saved gets him on board
Jesus finds Philip gets him to follow him. That's just kind of anyone and Jesus
There's another story that we're gonna go to where Jesus just happens to be he bumps into someone
And I don't think it's accidental of course on his part
But we have situations that happen like that in our life every day if we'd really think about it
Or we could talk to somebody and get them saved so
Anyone can be a personal person that you go and get someone saved Philip finds Nathaniel
And I would just kind of equate that to friends or acquaintances in your life
So you have all three of those things in this passage here
Mark 16 15 says and he said unto them go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature
So we're not bound to our soul winning times. We're not bound to our own
immediate family members
You know anybody is able to be saved that is willing to hear it willing to swallow their pride
Willing to humble themself like a child would would humble themselves and
and have the faith of a child to believe the simple and pure gospel of
salvation by faith alone in the Lord Jesus Christ
So number one tonight
We need to find people and look for opportunities outside of planned church
So winning times to get people saved. That's a mouthful. I know but we need to find people
Isn't that what in our passage they find he find us so he finds this person this person finds this person, right?
So we need to find people also
I mean it's an example for us to find people and to find them outside of our normal times that we would go soul-winning
Now go ahead and turn to John chapter 4 in John chapter 4
We have this very famous story about Jesus and the woman at the well now
We don't really know that Jesus is necessarily alone with this woman the Bible doesn't say that
But he is having a solo conversation with her and his disciples very clearly are not with him
So, you know and and we obviously believe that
Two and two we send people out in the church setting right and for a witness. We should have people around
When we go out soul-winning so that we can't be accused of things and I've already talked about that before
But and you're like well pastor you're kind of breaking your own rule
But there are situations where we can give individuals the gospel where there's other people around but you can still have a conversation
With that person without everybody necessarily knowing
What's being talked about and even if they don't do who cares because once that person is kind of you know
Conversating with you. They don't really care either
It's like the whole world kind of shuts down around and it's just you and them talking about getting saved
But let's see the example of Jesus and how he does it because who does who wins souls better than Jesus
And this is an account of him personally
Soul-winning which is what the sermons about
So the first thing we see is that Jesus uses an opportunity to strike up a conversation with a total stranger
Now a lot of people that would be hard for them to do
But it's something that Jesus gives us an example of look at verse number seven in chapter four
It says there cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water Jesus saith under her give me to drink
Now doesn't sound like he said it very nicely does it does it but like I don't know maybe the nuances of translation
Maybe yeah, I mean we don't know how nice he asked her
But he just said give me to drink for the first disciples were gone away into the city to buy meat
So we know that they're gone. They're not there then saith the woman of Samaria unto him
How is it that thou being a Jew ask askest drink of me?
Which I'm a woman of Samaria for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans. So but what's Jesus's point?
He's asking her a specific question because he's going to speak to her about water
So they're at a well, they're at Jacob's well
specifically
Where and and she's coming to draw this so I mean it's a good so of course
Jesus is the master of all things and he knows this is a good opportunity to bring up water living water
So he strikes up a conversation with her number one number two. Jesus turns the conversation into a spiritual direction
He's just asking for regular water
But he uses that to to turn that into a spiritual conversation look at verse 10
It says Jesus answered and said unto her if thou knewest the gift of God and who it is that saith to thee
Give me to drink thou wouldest have asked of him and he would have given thee living water
So he flips the script on her
She's like, you know, why are you Jew asking me to do you know?
And then he's just like if you knew the gift of God and who it is that saith unto thee
Thou wouldest have asked of him he would given thee living water
So he's he gives her a spiritual answer. Of course. She doesn't understand this number three
So he turns the conversation to a spiritual direction number three. Jesus answers
Her question and helps her understand that he is speaking of
Spiritual things not physical things
Look at verse 11 the woman saith unto unto him. Sir thou hast nothing to draw with and the well is deep
From whence then hast thou that living water? See she doesn't get what what he's saying
art thou greater than our Jacob our
Father Jacob which gave us the well and drank there of himself and his children and his cattle
Jesus answered and said unto her
whosoever drinketh of this water
Talking about the physical water shall thirst again
But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst
so he's differentiating also the difference between the water that he asked her for and the and the and the water that he's
Talking to her about but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water
springing up into
Everlasting life. So now he's talking about salvation, isn't he? What is salvation?
Salvation is the gift of God. What's the gift of God?
Everlasting life. Okay, so he turns the car
He's trying to explain to her what he's what he means
The woman saith unto him sir, give me this water that I thirst not neither come hither to draw
See, she still doesn't quite understand does she she's still thinking of I want to try this water that I'm never thirsty again
But I still don't think that she quite understands what he's saying number four. She still doesn't quite understand
So Jesus points out her need for salvation by doing what by showing her she's a sinner and letting her know
He is a true prophet because he's about to tell her something that there's no way he could possibly know
He doesn't know her at all. He's never met her in his life
She doesn't know who he is
But he's about to tell her some things about herself that nobody else probably even knows at all
now and that's what the Word of God can reveal in your heart when you read it the Word of God can tell you things about
Yourself that you that nobody knows and that you might not even know about yourself when you're reading it
but verse 16 Jesus saith unto her go call thy husband and come hither and
He knows that she doesn't have a husband
So he does this on purpose the woman answered and said I have no husband
Jesus said unto her thou as well said I have no husband for thou has had five husbands and he whom thou
now hast is not thy husband in that set us out truly, so
He's he's acknowledging the fact that she's being honest with him, but then says you've had five husbands
There's no way he could know that and except for he's the Lord. He knows her thoughts
He knows he knows her mind. He knows her heart. He knows everything about her. She's never
There's no way he could know that except for he is the Lord right so and it says in that set us thou truly so
He said not only are you not married now, but the guy that you're living with now. You're just shacking up
You're just fornicating right the woman saith unto him sir. I perceive that thou art a prophet
I love that scripture, so she's she's uh she's like yeah
You're reading my mind. Basically. You know exactly what's going on. I perceive that thou art a prophet so which she's right
She says our fathers worship in this mountain and ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship
so when you're out sowing sometime or when you're just personally sowing with sometimes people will have wrong ideas about what they believe and
It's not wrong to correct those things sometimes you have to correct those things before you can move on in the presentation
So of course we have to let people understand
But we don't have to bash them over the head and say you're just the most vile wicked person that ever lived there
She already knows that she's dead to rights here. She's had five husbands. She's shacking up right now
She knows she's a sinner okay, and she knows that Jesus is truly a prophet because he's told her you know things that nobody knows
right so
and number five Jesus corrects her bad doctrine and
Imparts truth under her and shares common ground with her so
You know
Sometimes we kind of you know Paul says I become all things
I become all things to all men that I might by by all means save some
Sometimes we kind of got to get down on the level not sinful, but we have to get down on people's level
Condescend to men of lower estate thing like that things like that we
You know and Jesus kind of does this with her a little bit if you'll look at verse 21
It says Jesus saith unto her woman believe me the hour cometh when ye shall neither in this mountain nor yet at Jerusalem
Worship the Father, so he's kind of finding common ground with her right now. You know he's not saying no you're wrong
It's only in Jerusalem, but he does correct her though
But he's saying there's gonna come a time
It's coming soon here that neither and either mountain not neither mountain is going to be
Necessarily the place where you have to go you worship. You know not what?
We know what we worship for salvation is of the Jews
That's where he's like correcting her wrong belief because the Samaritans believed that they were right that mountain was the right mountain
Those altars were the right altars they had some wrong beliefs
But they so they were mixed up on a lot of things that Jesus is correcting and saying hey
We know we worship salvation's of the Jews
But the hour cometh and now is when the true worshippers shall worship the Father and Spirit and in truth
For the Father seeketh such to worship him. He's saying hey
It's now time where you know all people are gonna be able to worship the Father in spirit and truth
God is a spirit and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth
And this is him correcting her false doctrine
He's saying you know salvations by the Jews and you know you're you must worship
God not just however you want to worship him you have to worship him in spirit, but yes, that's true
But in truth also you can't just be you know like these Pentecostals that just you know they writhe around and
Roll around and they you know they are slain in the spirit all this other stuff
They're they're trying to say they're spiritual, but they're not doing it in truth
So you can't just worship God however you want you have to worship him how it says to in the Bible
And
You can't just do whatever you want God wants you to worship him in spirit and in truth
So the truth is important the woman saith unto him
I know that messiahs cometh which is called Christ when he is come he will tell us all things
So she knows she believes there's a messiah coming so it's not like she doesn't know anything
She does know things and most people in America will know something about Jesus
They'll know something about religion, but we usually just have to correct some of the things that they don't believe that's right
I got a guy saved last week that he was wrong about eternal security, but he was right about the Trinity
He was right about a lot of other things, but he needed that corrected so he gets saved
He wasn't saved because he didn't believe in eternal security and so I just showed him he's like wow
I never saw that before like that's just so easy. I wonder why I never saw that well because you go to a
Bad church, that's why and you listen to bad teaching and bad doctrine
Everlasting life means just that
Everlasting life a life that never ends, so if you have everlasting life you can't lose it that doesn't make sense
That you can lose something that lasts forever
Or give something back that lasts forever, and then you see
lastly there Jesus
reveals
Himself to her as the Messiah. She says I know the Messiah is coming
He's gonna teach us all things and then Jesus says sayeth unto her I that speak unto thee and he
So he right there says I am the Messiah so people that say oh, yeah
Oh Jesus. He didn't claim to be the Messiah. Yes. He did Sam. Yep. He didn't claim to be the Messiah right there
He said I am I'm he I mean how much more plain can you get than that?
And upon this came to his disciples and marveled that he talked with the woman yet yet no man said
What seekest thou or why talkest thou with her so this is interesting his disciples come back and interrupt
But she's already got everything she needs
She's understanding what he's saying she's picking up what he's laying down
He tells her I'm the Messiah and you know when we're out obviously
We don't have the same angles that Jesus can be able to have but we still have to reveal to them the Messiah
We still have to reveal to them that they are a sinner
We have to help them understand that salvation is a gift and that they have to ask for it, right?
So he said if thou knewest who was it was speaking with you the Messiah
That you would have asked and he would have given unto thee
You know that living water which springs up to eternal life, so he's still teaching her the spiritual truth
So we have to teach also
Salvation is a gift you ask for it. Well. Well. Do you have to ask for it?
Well he said if you would have known what it was you'd ask for it
So when we tell say people need to call upon the name of the Lord
That's asking for it ask and you shall receive right when you ask for salvation. God's gonna give it to you
Pretty much how it works, right?
So
Now so we have the example of Jesus giving his his you know
He's personally winning someone to Christ here, and then you have the woman
Immediately going out so winning you know people say oh you got to clean your life up and stop smoking cigarettes
And you know put on a suit and tie and do all this before you start waiting souls she starts winning souls
immediately doesn't she
She has you know if she gets she gets saved that she has the Spirit of God. She isn't even baptized and she's already out
Proselytizing right away look what she does so that the disciples come up and
They said what they didn't they came so it says and upon this came his disciples and
Marveled that he talked with the woman
They're just blown away that he's he's even talking to this Samaritan woman
That he's even just taking the time to talk to her yet
No, man said what seekest thou or why talkest thou with her they thought it, but they didn't say it out loud
Because Jesus probably would have given him the business
I'm sure and rebuke them, but like he's done many times before but
Now we see the example of the woman at the well and she didn't waste any time look at verse 28
The woman then left her water pot and went her way into the city and saith to the men
Come see a man which told me all things that I ever did is not this the Christ
So what's she doing? She's pointing people to Jesus. She's saying hey
I want to show you a man that told me everything I've ever done
Which I wouldn't say that's necessarily accurate
But he did tell her she had five husbands and the one she was married she was with isn't her husband
But she went right to the men and what she's trying to point them to Jesus
Then went they out of the city and came unto him in in the meanwhile his disciples prayed him saying master eat
But he said said unto them. I have meat to eat that you know not of
Therefore said the disciples one to another hath any man brought him ought to eat
Jesus saith unto them my meat is to do the will of him that sent me and to finish his work
Sayeth not ye there are yet four months and then cometh harvest behold
I say unto you lift up your eyes and look on the fields for their white already to harvest
And this is the problem that you know
We sometimes we get trapped within our soul winning times
and we don't look up and look at people that we interact with around when we're just doing our day-to-day things and
We forget to look up from what we're doing we're concentrating on other things and look I get it
We can't always just preach the gospel to people all the time
But you can give someone an invitation you can just drop a little seed to them or something like that
You can be effective
outside of church so many times or even church service times because I know a lot of times
We'll give the gospel to people after church services and things like that, and that's great
So but what I'm talking about today is I'm talking about
Individual times where you would go out on your own, and I'm not saying that you're just out
Just trying to find somebody necessarily of course. There's nothing wrong with that
But again you kind of want to just be careful in how you do those things where you do those things
You don't want to go out in a park at night
And you're a lady by yourself and try to get people saved in the park. I mean that's just a bad idea
So there's there's you know there's rules to this game
I would say there's common sense that kind of comes into play here, right?
So but we we're people who cross paths. There's people that we cross paths with every single day
And they're white on the harvest they're ready to be plucked off the vine
And we don't see it
we're just locked into that mentality of only doing it during sowing and
We're just not thinking about it. You know and we all have that where we where we do that. I'm sure
But just like the disciples weren't thinking about it. They're like. What is he doing talking to this girl?
You know that's what they said right mark. They marveled that he talked with this woman yet
No, man said so they're thinking about something completely different and Jesus is what he's thinking about this woman
Soul that needs to be saved. He's probably thinking hey
I know this woman is going to go back and tell all these men about me
And that all these people are going to get saved and later on
These same disciples when Jesus comes on his way back to Jerusalem
They're like should we call fire down from heaven like Elijah did and and have them destroy these people because they were mad that
Jesus didn't stop in Samaria on the way back to Jerusalem and
Jesus like you know not what manner of spirit you are of
It's like we got we shouldn't be the let's call fire down on people
Just because they're not doing everything exactly the way that we do
We shouldn't have that mentality. There's you know we shouldn't want people to go and burn in hell for all eternity
now there's
exceptions to that rule okay, but
There's no need for me to preach about that right now. You know what I'm talking about, but
I've said it many times before all right, but I mean we need to
Have a heart for people to get saved and not just have this let's burn them with fire type of mentality
But what ended up happening is that Philip ends up coming back?
and then Philip ends up setting up a ministry and he ends up getting a bunch of people saved in Samaria and
So if Jesus would have just said okay? Yeah, let's just barbecue these people right now
Then Philip wouldn't have been able to come in and just start getting all these people saved
Simon the sorcerer and you know Peter and John come and help them out because all these people are getting saved in Samaria
What Jesus did here at the well started something big and what we can do with one individual?
We don't know what that's going to turn into that could turn into something big that you might not even know happens later on
It can turn into something that maybe in heaven you'll know
But that individual person that you get saved somewhere out, and you know and nobody will know about it
Nobody ever knows about that accolade that you did, but you know what God knows about it
And Jesus knew the heart of this woman. He knew what she was going to do
He knew that she was going to have a great effect and that one individual
He cared about his disciples didn't care about her and later on they didn't care about the rest of those people either
But Jesus does care and he wants us to care about individual people that we run out
Into into the world
And so why you know he they're like why are you talking to her?
We need to start paying attention
To other opportunities out when we're out there and just lift up our eyes and look
That's what he said lift up your eyes and look on the fields for their white already to harvest
They're ready to get saved, but we don't have enough laborers
We don't have enough people
Where our heads are in the clouds looking at other stuff or looking down when they we should be looking up and looking for people
to get saved look at verse 36 and he he that reapeth receiveth wages and
Gathers fruit onto eternal life
So when we go out and we we reap you know we get those people saved
We receive wages we get paid
We get dividends we get rewards and it says
and
Gathers fruit unto eternal life
We're doing a multifaceted thing because that person because you got that person saved they get to spend all eternity in heaven
And we get to rejoice with them when we get to heaven
And you know it's gonna be a great big party up there
With the people that we get saved and like we we kind of act like oh, you know
It's just you know something we just do all the time and it is
But you know it should still be amazing when we get people saved
There's just still be something that we just rejoice over when someone gets saved
And it says that we that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice
Together and that just tells you right there that that is going to happen and where is it gonna happen?
It's gonna. It'll happen here sometimes
But it'll happen in heaven also
We will rejoice with our converts someday
And I'd like to say hey, I might never see you again here on this earth, but where am I gonna see you someday?
Heaven they always answer heaven
Or they'll say you know paradise or something, but most of the time they say heaven okay verse 39
Let's see actually. I'm sorry verse 37 and here in is that true that saying true one soweth and another
And another reapeth I sent you to reap that wherein you bestowed no labor other men labored
And you're entered into their labors and many the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the scene of the woman
Which testified he told me all that ever I did so when the Samaritans were come unto him
they besought him that he would tarry with them and he had bowed there two days and many more believed because of his own word and
Said unto the woman now we believe this is kind of weird how they say this, but now we believe not because of thy saying
For we have heard him ourselves and know that this is indeed the Christ the Savior of the world
I mean it's cool that they acknowledge that and stuff, but it's like
It's not because of you
We heard of ourselves. You know it's like she's still kind of like you know
Sometimes it's hard to wash away what people perceive you as even in your past so obviously she has
You know some some problems in her past there, but you know God can save some pretty wretched people
God can save some people that are just having you know they have a lot of sin in their lives, but
You know that day
Changed her life for all eternity and changed the eternity of all those people and then later on when Philip came
He got to partake into that labor too, so you never know what a divine appointment in a single soul winning
Setting can bring forth you just don't know and
sometimes we'll never know, but just know this that there will be a day that we
We rejoice with that person in heaven whether whether it's here on earth or in heaven or both
And now number two pray for opportunities to arise in your daily lives
That is the longest point of course of my sermon, but number two pray for opportunities to arise in your daily life
Go ahead and turn to Luke chapter 11
verse 9 Luke chapter 11 verse 9
So if you're like someone you're like well
I really want to get people saved on an individual basis
But sometimes I feel like the opportunities just don't arise in my daily life
and you know some or
wives that have littles at home and things like that and
Maybe your opportunities aren't so much like other people's that are just like out and about all the time
But if you pray for opportunities God will give you those opportunities
And maybe your time is not now to necessarily do some of these things
But I know God can make things happen for you look at Luke 11 9
It says and I say unto you ask and it shall be given you seek and you shall find
Knock it shall be open unto you for everyone that asketh
receiveth he that seeketh findeth and to him that knocketh it shall be opened if a son shall ask bread and
Any of you that is a father will he give him a stone or if he ask a fish?
Will he give for a fish give him a serpent or if he shall ask an egg will he offer him a scorpion?
If he then if you then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children
How much more shall your Heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
So, you know we can be asking for the Holy Spirit when we ask for the Holy Spirit and for God to fill us with
the Spirit and
To give us boldness to preach to people, you know, sometimes it's kind of hard
You're like I should I talk to that person and then sometimes the opportunity slips from your fingers
You're like man
I really regret not taking that moment to talk to that person and some of those things are some of my most tortured
Moments where I think I know I should have talked to that person and I didn't and they're you know
And like when you feel pressed to do those things, I'm not saying that the Holy Spirit is talking to you
But when you feel the urge to do that and you're afraid to do it
I think that that is you're being pressed to do those things and that
Fear is not coming from God that fear is coming from your flesh
And so that's the time when you need to act on that feeling
So
God will give you though the things that you ask. Hey, do you think God's gonna be like if you God?
Can you give me some opportunities so I can get some people saved out in my daily life. He's gonna be like no
Of course, he's not gonna be like no, he's gonna be like, yeah
Yes, I've been waiting for you to ask me that actually I was wondering when you were gonna come to me about that
Yep, I'm here. Yep. I'll get you some people. Yeah, I'll line them up for you
I'll put them right in your path. I'll make it I'll make it easy for you
But see when you ask just make sure that when you ask and he gives it to you to do it
To do you know don't just you know say you want something and then don't act upon it when he gives it to you
James 5 turn to James 5 verse 16 James 5 verse 16. I
Was kind of talking about how when you ask for things a little more fervently God
Likes that and he responds better to those types of prayers than he does just you're
Going through the motion prayers and look we need to go through the motion with our prayers
And I'm not saying that we shouldn't do that
because sometimes we do things out of duty because the
Spirit is well is willing but the flesh is weak sometimes but you know
When we're really fired up about something and we're really passionate about something
That's when God's like he's really wanting to
Answer and listen to our prayers because says confess your faults one to another and pray
One for for another that you may be healed the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much
What does that mean it means when your prayers are fervent or hot or you know that they're really passionate
That in your in your a saved person
That it's gonna a lot of good things are gonna happen because of that
It's gonna a lot of things are gonna happen because of that fervent prayer and then he talks about Elias
Which is Elijah says Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are
He's just a man that put his pants on one leg at a time
Just like anybody else and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain and it rained not on the earth
By the space of three years and six months
And he prayed again and the heaven gave rain and the earth brought forth her fruit
Brethren if any of you do err from the truth and one convert him
Let him know that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way
Shall save a soul from death and shall hide a multitude of sins now that can be interpreted as
Someone that's just kind of saved and they're really backslid and you help that person get them back
Into the fold but it can also be talking about someone that's literally needs to be converted and saved
And so it's you know, you got you got it talking about people that are sick
Fervently praying and then you got it talking about
You know, then it starts talking about bringing forth fruit from the earth. Well, what's another form of bringing forth fruit?
Getting people saved right and then it starts talking about converts
Then it starts talking about converting a sinner from the air of his way and saving that person's soul from death
Well when you're praying for things when you're fervently asking
Hey God, would you would you bring me some people in my life that I can just
Set down with them. Give them the gospel get them saved
God's going to do that you apply these these types of principles to soul winning
You know a lot of times we pray for all these different things. We pray for health
We pray for salvation for other people. But what about for you to be able to get other people saved? That's a good prayer
that's a that's a you know, if you're if you're on a slump or a
Streak where you haven't gotten anybody saved for a long time. Don't be like, oh something's wrong with this church
No, maybe you just need a little bit of fire in your belly. It's not the church. It's you and
Sometimes we do go through dry streaks
I'm not saying that you're bad or something
But maybe you just need to get out a little bit more
Maybe you just need to do a little more soul winning because you know, if you're just going for a couple hours a week
You're not gonna get as many people as if you go for more hours
Look, I'm not trying to push you to do more than whatever you have to but like don't don't think that the slump is
Everybody else's fault and it's not yours
You can get out there and get people saved if you put the time in you're gonna get people saved
It's just a fact the more you do the more time you put into it and look
Here's a good quote soul winning is a supernatural business and nobody can do it without supernatural help and that's a fact
You're not gonna get people saved unless you've got God's power on on you upon you
Filling you and you're gonna get people saved when you're you know being the most effective
You're praying you're you're filled with the spirit and obviously you can get people saved Jonah got people saved when he was just like
Though had the worst spirit you could possibly have
But he still got a whole bunch of people saved because he just did what God said
How much more when we actually care about people and really want to get people saved?
God's gonna use us in great ways number three tonight when alone be aware of potential dangers
And this is an important part of this sermon turn to Luke chapter 10 verse 1 Luke chapter 10 verse 1
And like I kind of mentioned a little bit before
Is that the policy of this church when we send people out soul winning when we have these soul winning specific soul winning times
We have protocols that we have you know we don't want
people going by themselves
And because it's protection for you
it's protection for you to have two witnesses with you and
Because people can accuse you somebody was telling me that there was a older lady was she an old lady brother CJ
Like how old do you think she was?
Sixties we should have white gray hair
She like pretty old
sixties
Which does she look like I mean just looking at her does she look like an evil
Old witch or did she look like a just a regular old old lady just like a regular old lady
But you know what she was she was a devil
She was a devil
She's lying to the police or the security guard or whoever it was saying that
that our that a little that Amy and
Her daughter is following this old lady around
Like harassing her or something which in reality this little old lady
This demonic lady is following her around and then lying about it
There's dangers out there when we're soul winning and and so we want to be protected
Against these things because I mean who was it that kind of stuck up for a miss Amy was it you brother Sean
Who was it that said that all those you CJ, right? Did you say something to the
Yeah, it's like no more like she was following her, but people will just I mean
Would you think that dear little old lady with the Walker is gonna just blatantly lie about somebody like that, but they will and
So there are dangers out there when we're so many people just lie and accuse you of some of the weirdest things out there
That's why we go out to and to that is the protection of that because if you have two witnesses that is a powerful thing
It's a lawful thing. It's something in the Bible that's talked about over and over on all different aspects of things
That's why I think that Jesus said he sent them out to and to write Luke chapter 10 verse 1
It says after these things the Lord appointed other 70 also and sent them to and to before his face
Into every city and place whether he himself would come
Therefore said he unto them the harvest truly is great
But the laborers are few pray therefore the Lord of the harvest that he would send forth laborers into his harvest
Go your ways behold. I send you forth as lambs
among wolves
Know this we are sent out as lambs
among wolves
We have to be on guard obviously we want to you know give people the benefit of the doubt
But there are demonic old ladies out there
demonic apartment managers and security guards and maintenance workers
that follow us around and grab our invitations off the doors yell at us and do all kinds of weird things and
Lie about us and try to get us in trouble with the police
Why do they do this because they're wicked they're wolves
The little old wolf lady
You know you're like well pastor that's kind of mean to say well
Don't do you think it's kind of mean to lie about a godly woman and her children?
She literally yelled at one of her kids
it's like
What kind of weirdo does that?
to a little kid I
Mean so we need to go out to and to when we're sent out
That's the normal prerequisite
But in a public place like when it comes to individual soul winning what what I'm talking about here
This is what we have to really be
You know because you're like well pastor you said we should go out to and to I yes
but there are public places like a store or
outside in a public place like a park during daylight hours where there's other people around okay a
Gym or at work on a break or traveling to someplace on an airplane in a waiting room
At a bus stop you know those things are fairly safe when you're during the daylight hours
You know and I'm sure that you could think of other things
But you know also family and friends if you are just trying to get family and friends saved
You can obviously do that in the comfort of their house or your home or whatever
Or work you know if someone's working on your house
I had some contractors have been working on my house lately and every one of them got invitations to our church
Whether they wanted them or not
But a lot of my had some really great conversations with I didn't get any of them saved, but it's funny. How many
You know construction workers are actually more
Level-headed than you would actually think and maybe they're not where I'm at you know on some stuff
but you know they were really nice people and
Some of them you know if they not all of them were saved obviously and they went to church
But I got to really get get some really good stuff in with them
And give them some DVDs and things like that, and it was a really great experience
And I just wanted to you know be a be like a light to them as much as I possibly could be
So we we can be in
various different situations
Where we're by ourselves, but it's not a danger to us does that make sense
Acts chapter 8 verse 26 Acts chapter 8 verse 26, let's turn over there real quick acts 826
Well, I'm not I'm not gonna have you turn there
just go and turn to job chapter 17 verse 1, but I just wanted to remind you about the
Ethiopian eunuch and how Philip was asked by God to join himself under that chariot
But you know do you think the Ethiopian eunuch was just by himself in a chariot whipping a horse by himself just
You know I'm sure he had people with him
It doesn't say that he did the comp but the conversation is a personal conversation between Philip and him
I mean the Bible doesn't say there was other people around, but I'm guessing if this guy is some important man
He probably has some guards around him
He probably has some other people around him
But the conversation is still personal and what's he do he gets alongside him he sees he's reading the Bible
He preaches the gospel to him
He gets him baptized and before he can even follow up the whirlwind
You know blows him away or whatever and he ends up someplace else
So but that was a personal soul-wanting thing that Philip did
You know that God asked him to do and he wasn't with other people, but that was kind of a special thing
You know the Holy Ghost doesn't speak to us in those ways
Any more like he used to back then okay, and Philip was one of the seven
Deacons that were ordained okay now
Number four be clean and neat in your appearance with good hygiene at all times at home or out in public
You're like well. That's kind of a lot to ask Pastor Thompson, but you know if you're gonna
Always feel like you're in a situation to be able to give someone the gospel
You know look at Job chapter 17 verse 1 it says my breath is corrupt
My days are extinct the graves are ready for me
You know we don't want to have that we don't want to have that that persona when we go out like you don't want to
Talk to someone because your breath is corrupt
You know your breath is is stinky didn't brush your teeth before you left the house
Or whatever you never know when you're gonna run into someone out and about and you know if you look
Like a slob or you're wearing your your bare fuzzy slippers and your pajamas to Walmart or whatever
That's not I mean you're not it's not really gonna be the
The look that people are looking for to take you seriously about giving them the gospel
I'm not saying you have to wear a three-piece suit every place you go
I'm not saying that but you know brush your teeth carry some mints or gum make sure you take a shower
Slap on some deodorant you don't want to smell like you're going to the grave either
You know get dressed, but even when people you know are coming over to do work on your house or whatever
I mean you know look a little bit presentable things like that, so
You know God talks about hot like he won't even be around people that don't have clean sewer practices
So I mean if God said you know what what would turn himself away from people that are unholy and unclean
Obviously when we go to you know the this is talking about people that are out in battle in the battlefields well
We're on a battlefield too, but it's a different kind of battlefield isn't it it's a spiritual battlefield
So we should be a little hygienic when we're out there, too
Number five always be ready just always be ready to give the gospel
I mean any place you're at any place you go. Just be ready to go turn to Romans chapter 1
verse number 15 Romans chapter 1 verse number 15 and
Paul kind of explained he's explaining hey
You know I'm a debtor to do to both the Greeks and the barbarians both to the wise and to the unwise and says
So much as in as in me is I'm ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also
Paul is ready at the moment's notice Paul
Didn't have to carry around his Bible with him
You know I don't think they had bound books like this back then he probably had some scrolls, but
You know he probably had a lot of the verses that he used
memorized and
We should have the verses
Memorized also be ready, and hey if you if you can't just carry around a full Bible with you all the time
I'm talking about for personal soul winning get a New Testament
Brother do you have a but I always you have a little New Testament. Oh, yeah, there's one right there
Just carry one of these around
It could be nicer than this
These get beat up pretty easy
But there's a New Testament it fits in your pocket you could get a pocket size one
And when you get a little older, it's kind of tougher to you might need a magnify you know a glutton
Might need some glasses to carry what you might need glasses to carry with you also, but you know carry a little New Testament
There's the ones that you can get the the soul winner New Testaments
And they have like the Proverbs and Psalms in them too, but you can get someone saved with the New Testament
Carry it when we have those for giveaways to those little leather those little ones
But after the heresy is cut out of them you can take those out
Grab one take it with you keep it on you be ready to preach
The Bible says in in Proverbs 7 1 my son keep my words and lay up my commandments with thee
Keep my commandments and live and my law as the apple of thine eye bind them upon thy fingers
Write them upon the tables of thine heart. What does that mean he wants you to?
Memorize his word you know thy word have I hid my heart that I might not sin against thee
Psalm chapter 119 verse 11 memorize
That's an easy verse to memorize isn't it you know memorize the verse that teaches you to memorize scripture
So that you might not sin against God and not going so winning is a sin
In reality I mean if you're not going so winning
Jesus said to go we should go
Part of the armor of God is the shoes
The gospel shoes that he says to put those on and go out with them
And people who get upset about that all they want, but it's just a fact okay
He didn't say it was just for the disciples. It wasn't just for the apostles. It's for everybody
Keep invites and supplies in your vehicle or on your person if possible if you just have like one or two invites
You got a New Testament. You're like well
That's kind of weird pastor Thompson if you want to get people saved personally look
There's a prepared place for a prepared person and God will put those people in here you're praying
You're asking for God to put people in your life that will you can run across and get them saved
He'll set up the low-hanging fruit for you. They're white under harvest already just look up
Just open your eyes and pay attention
There's someone that you can get saved close to you whip out your New Testament
Whip out your even if it's just your phone
I mean a lot of people just have it on their phone you can just put the salvation plan on your phone
Copy and paste have it on a little Word document or something you can open it up and just share your scriptures. They're
Pretty easy we got a lot of technology. We have no excuse
Number six always be considerate and courteous always be considerate and courteous
Ecclesiastes 10 1 you don't have to turn there. I'll read it for you, but if you want to turn there you can
Ecclesiastes 10 1 it's a good scripture though
It says dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savor
So does a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom and honor
So when you do some foolish things in front of people when people go well
Hey, isn't that supposed to be a Christian isn't that guy a Christian and obviously we we fail in life sometimes
But it does cause your savor to stink among the people
When you're making mistakes like that
And it might cause people to not want to listen to you
When they have when you have a chance to give them the gospel at work
They're like yeah
But I remember that what you said this one time or whatever and they have an issue
With you and won't hear you because of those things so always be considerate
courteous and
You know be salt and light in front of people and
You know it's it's fun to joke around, but like if you go too far with it sometimes people
Will not like that and you know it's okay for them to say every cuss word known to man
But if you slip up and say one one time in front of people oh, I thought you were a Christian
It's like it's okay for you to say like every word every word known to man
That's like the most repulsive jokes ever, but if someone accidentally slips up and says something oh, I thought you were a Christian
It's like that's how people are though. They watch everything that you do
They get away with things, but you don't
It's just like when God pun it you know he scourges every son whom he receiveth
So we all get scourged. He don't beat he don't beat children that aren't his
He doesn't beat those little bastards. He beats his children
It's true first Peter chapter 3 verse 15
It's a Bible word folks don't get mad about it. You're like you just wanted to cuss Pastor Thompson. That's not a cuss word
Let me use the NIV version illegitimate sons
first Peter chapter 3 verse 15
But sanctify it means set apart
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts and be ready always to give an answer to every man that
Asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear
We should always be considerate and courteous and hey when someone has a legitimate question give them a legit
Legitimate answer be ready to do those things having a good conscience
That whereas they speak evil of you as evil doers
They may be ashamed that falsely accused your good conversation in Christ, so you might have a good lifestyle Christ
You know the thing is you're kind of damned if you do and damned if you don't
If you live a holy life in front of people and you're in your life in Christ is
Pretty much without spot without blemish, and they're gonna be like oh
He just thinks he's better than everybody else, but then you mess up a few times
They're like oh, I thought he was a Christian like you really can't win
So you might as well, but what is what does Peter say about that he says?
For it is better verse 17 if the will of God be so that you suffer for well-doing
Than for evil doing so what's what's better that?
We have people talk crap about us because we're doing good not because we're actually doing evil
So always be considerate and courteous and leave people with a good taste in their mouth about Christians and about Christianity
If all you could do is just give them a card with your number on it that
Could be enough
the guy that got me saved
Six months before I met that man or six months before he got me saved
I met this man at a Chinese food restaurant on my birthday
we're talking about truther type stuff before 9-eleven even happened and
He starts talking to me about the Lord because when you're looking for the truth the end is
Salvation by faith through Jesus Christ alone. That's the truth
You know you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free when people are truly seeking after the truth
They're gonna find it and
I was truly seeking out the truth. I just didn't really realize it at the moment
I was seeking, but I wasn't ready to hear what he had to say but six months later
I was and I was looking for him, and I found him in another Chinese food restaurant later on like Chinese food
Okay, what can I say but anyway? I?
Found him. I was like I've been looking for you everywhere
I've gone through all these deaths you know and I was working for Jehovah's Witness company
Roofing company, I was just I was confused
You know I went to all these funerals my best friend got killed
He was a Grand Ronde Indian tribal member. I was like thoroughly confused
but
That man didn't shove it down my throat when I said I'm not interested at all
He said okay. Well. You know what if you ever are here's my number
That's it. He just respected it, and that's what we have to do too if you're personally, and this is him
personally
inside a
Restaurant me and him just talking there's other people in the restaurant
this is a personal I got saved through someone's personal soul-winning and
He probably he will never know what an effect. He had on my life
He won't because I you know I I don't I don't know where he's at
I don't know if he's dead or alive or anything like that
But I know that he affected my life for eternity and one day
I'll be able to give him a big old hug in heaven big old bear hug
You know and just say thank you so much for not ramming it down my throat and being that guy
And just handing me that card and later on
He led me through this book through a King James Bible and showed me what the Bible said it took to be saved
He took me down the Romans Road, and then afterwards after I got saved
He said the angels in heaven are rejoicing because one sinner sinner repented
And I'll never forget that I know I'll never forget the day that I got saved
But it had he have just continued to try to badger me and continue to shove things down my throat
I probably would have never listened to that guy or cared what he had to say
So that's why I say be considerate be courteous, and if all you can do is just say okay. You know well if you ever are
Here's this
If you ever are here's this number if you ever are and that's why I'll just try to leave it with people even at
the door
That's why I try to just leave people with a good taste in their mouth
Not just trying to get one last scripture in not trying to get one last
thing in just
Here's our information if you ever are
Maybe you're gonna be searching some other day here. It is. It's all you need
and you know
Like I said that guy left a good like I wouldn't you know I had a good feeling
From him because he didn't do that and that's when you're personally sowing. That's a good practice to be in
So I also had a woman they used to say I used to ask her what time it was and she'd say
It's time for you to trust in the Lord with all your heart
And that wasn't necessarily a scripture
But is it true?
It is time for you to trust in the Lord with all your heart
and I've never forgotten that that she said that and she'll never know what a great effect that that had on my life and
Even though I chewed her out for at one time and I got mad at her for doing it all the time
And I apologized to her too
Because I was a punk kid when I when I did that but because I finally freaked out on her one time
But I just why don't you just tell me what time it is instead and it's like get a watch buddy
You know that's what I should I know it really you know I wasn't a mean kid
Necessarily, but I just was I had a mean moment at that time
I was 16 you know so what are you gonna? Do I had a vanilla ice haircut and all this other stuff so
Can hold that against me?
But
She was all all her purpose was is at work working with me every day
Was to just give me something give me something she knew that I needed God
She knew that I needed to trust Christ and so she gave me those
Simple words the Bible says Romans 12 18 if it be possible as much as lieth in you live peaceably with all men
You never know when an opportunity might pop up be salt and light and when it's time to spring into action
Your conversation your you know your conversation or your lifestyle
Whatever you want to call it it matches what you believe and
People will appreciate that now the last thing the last point. I have is stay on track
Don't rabbit trail too much, and this is a this is something
That's easy to fall into impersonal sowing because you start talking about
The things that are going on in the world and that's what people want to talk about
But if you're trying to get them saved the lot
You know talking about the reprobate doctrine the rapture timing the Jews
non-denominator denominational differences
creation
vaccines
those things are not as important as
Getting them the gospel, and it might seem like it's a good idea
And they're agreeing with you, but you're gonna come to a point being an independent fundamental Baptist
That they're gonna like oh wait. That's not what I believe that's that's pretty out there man
And that could cause a fight to start it could cause
Division because if they're not saved they're not gonna believe the full truth
Are they the Bible says in 1st Corinthians going down to 2nd Timothy chapter 2 verse 23?
I'm just gonna read 1st Corinthians 2 14 1st Corinthians 2 14 says
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God for they are foolishness unto him
Neither can he know them because they are spiritually discerned
the Bible says
That the natural man someone that's not saved is not going to understand the things of God
The things of the Spirit of God they're foolishness unto them the things that we believe and teach they think is stupid
It's foolishness to them so the more you dig in on doctrinal differences and doctrinal things
They're not they're gonna be moved further away from what you're trying to tell them
Just get them saved first
And then they can get on board get them saved first
And then they'll stop being a stupid Democrat be get them safe first
And they'll stop you know being a feminist or whatever get them safe first
And they'll stop believing in evolution get them safe first
And they'll stop believing in the stupid vaccination stuff get them safe first, and they'll get right on all these doctrines
Hopefully, but you're in 2nd Timothy chapter 2 verse 23 says but foolish and unlearned questions avoid
avoid those things
Knowing that they do what gender strives
They gender strives. It's it's just it's gonna start a fight. Is that what I just said yes
It's gonna start a fight and the servant of the Lord must not strive
But be gentle unto all men apt to teach patient talking about getting people saved here
We are servants of the Lord Jesus Christ. We're not out there when we're trying to get him saved
We're not fighting. We're not striving with them
We're trying to be gentle to them so that they will get saved
apt to teach
patient in meekness
instructing those that oppose themselves
They're fighting against themselves
If God-paired venture or perhaps will give them
Repentance to the acknowledging of the truth that God will change their mind
help allow them to change their mind to the acknowledging of what's actually true and
That is the gospel we want them to believe the gospel and
That they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil who are taken captive by him at his will
The whole world is captive to the devil's will in one way shape or form
They believe a lot of stupid things they believe a lot of things that aren't true
Why because they're taking captive and our job is to wake them up
With the truth of the gospel not with stupid, you know and foolish unlearned questions and
And arguing with them about things that they will never understand unless they're saved that makes sense
first Corinthians 15 one
We have two places to go and I'll be done first Corinthians 15 one
This is what we need to give them
Moreover brethren I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you which also you have received
And wherein you stand
By which also you're saved if you keep a memory that which I preached unto you
Unless you believed in vain for I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received how that Christ died for our sins
According to the scriptures and that he was buried and then he rose again the third day
According to the scriptures and look he was seed of many witnesses
This is what we need to get across to people so that they'll get saved. Hey Jesus died for you and
You know unless you want to go to hell for all eternity. Hey you need to understand
You need to believe on Christ. You need to trust Christ as your Savior not on your own works and
Receive the gift of God which is eternal salvation by Jesus Christ
You get saved by Jesus. There's no other way
There's no other door. There's no other method
There's no other way besides faith alone period
And they get that and they're gonna get saved
You know if they'll and you know not everybody gets saved, but you can give it to them help them to understand about
Sin help them to understand about hell help
You know they have to understand these things the gospel eternal security
The how it's a gift and how they must call upon the name of the Lord and when you follow up with them
invite them to church and
You know sometimes you can only give them what you got
Talk to them about baptism encourage them to come to church and be discipled
Give them the tools to be successful. Give them a Bible give them info about our church
instruction on the importance of baptism
Exchange info if you're comfortable, okay, that's the follow-up that you can give
You know and however how much further you take that is up to them
Because they are going to either come or they're not going to come
You can't control that and if you badger them to death
You know if you have to drag someone to church every time you know you just stop
You know after the second third fourth time, and they won't come it's like hey
It's kind of up to them at that point. You know don't waste your time
Any further than that I would say you can do what you want, but I wouldn't last last scripture
We'll have here is
Psalm chapter 126 verse 5 Psalm chapter 126 verse 5 and
This is fact. This is Bible. This is truth if we do these things
That I kind of laid out for you here. We're going to get individuals saved
We're going to get people saved, and we're going to you know
We're going to get people outside of our regular sowing time and obviously you know it just depends on how much time you put into it
But it's something that we should work on you know it's something that we should think about
Something we should pray about but Psalm 126 verse 5 says they that sow in tears shall reap in joy
He that goeth forth and weepeth
bearing precious seed shall doubtless come again with rejoicing bringing his sheaves
With him, so it's kind of seems like it's talking about farming, but it is
But when you apply it spiritually it's talking about that spiritual farming that
Going forth and bearing the precious seed of the Word of God
You're gonna doubtless come again with rejoicing who you can be rejoicing with just yourself
No, you're gonna be rejoicing like Jesus was saying with somebody else in heaven that you've gotten saved
bringing his sheaves with him the sheaves are the fruit that you bring forth in your soul winning and
It says doubtless, it's doubtless gonna happen. You know if people stop getting saved
It's because the gospel lost its power. We know what the gospel is never gonna lose its power
He said I'll be with you all way even until the end of the world
Let's pray dear Lord. We thank you so much
for
Or just these simple principles in your word pray that you'd help us to Lord
Not only have a time that we go each week with the church
But Lord that we'd also just think about times that we could
Also, just preach to individuals or I pray that you'd help us to be safe and think about those things and how we would do
Them, but I just pray that we would also have our own individual time where we just go and
And preach the gospel to people and whether it's family friends or just a stranger that Lord
You'd help us to bring forth more fruit
Under perfection and we do it in your name, and we love you Lord. We thank you for a great
Sunday here at church pray that you just bless everyone take them home safely and those that are safe that you'd bring them home
Soon back to church Jesus and we pray
Amen
