The title of the message that I have this morning, it's called Know Your Gospel. Know Your Gospel.
You know, when we go out soul winning, not everyone's going to be easy, right? Not everyone's
going to be a low-hanging fruit. Not everyone will get saved by us leaving them the card, the YouTube
card, and we can send them to YouTube or sending them a YouTube link of the Bible's way to heaven.
Not everyone we talk to will get saved without any trouble. You know, some people may have
hang-ups, some people may ask questions, some people may be skeptical. My point is sometimes
it takes more effort, so you need to be ready to give an answer. So the soul winning tip this
morning is to know our gospel. Know your gospel, know what you believe, and be ready to give an
answer why you believe what you believe. You know, some soul winners are fine with just following the
tract, but winning someone to the Lord doesn't always work like the way how the tract is.
So position yourself as a credible expert that can guide anybody through the gospel. Be an expert
soul winner. So point number one, why we want to know how to give the gospel. So point number one
is it builds our confidence, right? Go to Ephesians chapter number six, Ephesians chapter number six.
When we have the confident, we have to be confident when we're presenting the gospel.
Why? Because when we're confident, we speak with authority, right? The Bible says in Ephesians 6
in verse 19, the Bible says, and for me that utterance may be given unto me that I may open
my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel for which I am an ambassador in
bonds that therein I may speak boldly as I ought to speak. Like I said, we have to speak confidently
because we can reach the gospel boldly, right? When we're confident gives us courage, right?
The Bible says in Proverbs 3 26, for the Lord shall be thy confidence and shall keep thy foot
from being taken. Our confidence is not because we're smart. Our confidence is not because we know
more than them. We're confident because of what we know. We have the truth, right? We know the truth
because it's what God says and it makes sense. Our God, the God of the Bible is a logical God,
right? We don't just believe because the Bible says it. We believe it because the Bible says
it and makes sense. And when we're confident, we have self-assurance that no matter what they ask,
we can give them an answer. And no matter what or no matter what or no matter who we're talking to,
we can give them the gospel as simple and as easy to understand as we can. And also when we're
confident gives the prospect confidence in us, right? People in today's world have more access
to information and they're not easily bought. But if you sound like you know what you're talking
about, it makes easier for them to believe you and to listen to you. And to gain their trust,
you have to truly know what you're talking about. And also it allows us to be ready. The Bible says,
like I read that verse, the Bible says to 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. So it helps you
respond to any objections properly and allows you to explain why you believe what you believe.
And it's good for us to know the verses that we're using. It's good for us to have the ability
to turn to these verses we have to so they can see what we're showing them isn't just from us,
it's from the Bible, right? We can't just say because the Bible says so. You're a sinner
because the Bible says so. We have to make them turn to these passages and so they can see that
we're not just saying it because we're saying it because of what the Bible says, right? And also
they might actually want to see it. If you're not prepared, they may turn them away and they
may lose confidence that you know what you're talking about. So when you're ready, it helps
you understand what they believe and also how to change their mind. And third point is it allows
you to keep learning and improving. You know, you find more ways to explain the gospel as simple as
we can. So that's why you should learn how to give the gospel properly and also how to know
or how to give the gospel better. Proverbs 15 verse 14, the Bible says,
the heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge, but the mouth of fools
feedeth on foolishness. So how to give the gospel? Point number one, you have to study,
right? We need to study the verses and memorize them and meditate on them because the more it
repeats on your head or in your head, the more you understand these verses and how to use them
properly. Number two, listen and take notes from others. The Bible says in Proverbs 1 and verse 5,
a wise man will hear and will increase learning and a man of understanding shall attain unto
wise counsels. That's why it's good for us to go with different people because we can hear different
kinds of gospel presentation and you can pick up on these things and you can see how you can give
the gospel to certain people, right? And like I said, it helps us pick up some ways to explain
different points. So don't think that because you know all the soul winning verses from the Bible
that's enough. You need to learn how to use these verses properly. Point number three, you need to,
you can use resources. Like we have a soul winning seminar you can watch on our website,
right? And we can also use the YouTube or the cards that we have. We have these,
the soul winning reference guide. You can use this and read on them and you can actually turn
to these or you can use this while giving soul winning, while you're out soul winning.
Point number four, you need to practice, right? You need, the more you do it, the more gospel
presentation, the more your gospel presentation gets completed. And also last point is show up
to soul winning consistently. You know, you can't do any of these without doing the last point. You
have to show up and you need to show up consistently. You know, you can't study or there's
no point of view studying if you're not showing up. Or you can't listen and take notes from others
if you're not showing up. You can't use the resources if you're not here and also you can't
practice if you don't go out and you don't go out consistently, right? So conclusion, as conclusion,
it's crucial point when they agree to hear what you have to say. So if they end up, even if they
end up not believing, make sure that we're walking away with confidence that they know what they're
rejecting, right? So know your gospel. The Bible says, 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. Let's close in the word of prayer. Your heavenly father, Lord, again, thank
you for the opportunity to go soul winning. Fill us, Lord, with your soul, with your spirit, Lord,
that we may go out, Lord. Help us to find that person, Lord, who would gladly listen to the gospel,
Lord. We love you in Jesus name, I pray. Amen.
