What is the gospel message you represent?
Re-phrased: What does being “Christian” look and sound like
to those who know you, but who don’t know too much about Jesus by first-hand
investigation or experience?
One more re-phrasing: If you were given one minute to
explain what it means to be a Christian, what would you say?
1 Peter 3:15 says: But
make sure that in your hearts you honor Christ as Lord. Always be ready to give
an answer to anyone who asks you about the hope you have. Be ready to give the
reason for it. But do it gently and with respect.
There are a lot
of widely variant concepts and attitudes about who Jesus is, as well as what
Christians are about. What concept and
attitude does your life and testimony produce in others?
Beginning this
Sunday we will be talking about why people believe or don’t believe, and what is
