Fruit of Evangelism

Hi my name is Wiltse Buren and I'm one of the pastors here and is a great honor to be with you here on Father's Day and so let me go ahead and say to all of our fathers, we celebrate you today and are very thankful for you and for the investment that you make day in and day out with your kids. And so, let me encourage you dads if you want to have a good laugh with your kids and do something fun.

I would encourage you today to take a few minutes and ask them about a time when you really embarrass them just a timer. You really embarrass I do that with my kids couple days ago and I was a little bit disheartened by how quickly I thought of examples of things that I done to embarrass them in outages, pop them off really quick. My daughter just graduated from high school last Sunday night. She had about a thousand examples of the ways I embarrassed her. But she said dad, you remember that time you bought us that high school musical CD. Some your judge me right now by my kids a high school music yourself all right you know it's great. I said yeah I remember that she said I remember that time were you had to borrow mom's van. As if that were embarrassing enough and to run some errands.

One night, and it was late in the next morning. Mom had to take us to school and so we got in the car you would crank the radio and you were rocking out the high school musical like yeah that so I'm confessing all my brothers and sisters in Christ and the summit church that I enjoyed watching high school musical with my daughter. Ask your kids today have a little fun with it.

I'm sure they'll get a kick out of it and so will you.

I have the joy this weekend. Teaching the second message in our series on bearing fruit. Pastor Riddell started us off extremely well. Last week a seed shared with us about the fruit of repentance and how important it is for us to live lives of continual repentance as he challenged us from Psalm chapter 51 so if you didn't get a chance to hear it. I would encourage you to go back into listen to it.

I assure you, you will be really really blessed by but this weekend as we continue in our series were going to work in a study morning to take a look at bearing the fruit of evangelism bearing the fruit of evangelism. Now I don't want to assume that everybody here knows what I mean when I use the word evangelism so want to take just a second. I wanted to find it for you. So if you have notes on what you encourage you to write this down. Evangelism is simply this, it is talking to others about the gospel is talking to others about the gospel we talk about the golf we use for words around the summit church. It Jesus in my place. The good news that Jesus was crucified, buried and resurrected. Jesus came to live the life that we should've lived perfectly without sin and died the death that we were condemned to die in our place so that is the good news of the gospel, we want to talk to others about the good news of the gospel with an aim to persuade them with an aim to persuade them.

Our role as Christians is to helps others who are far from God come to know the hope that resides within us. We believe that what every person needs is to have an encounter with Jesus Christ and to respond to his grace into his love into his mercy, knowing that Jesus is all satisfying right. Paul reminds us in second Corinthians that we are his ambassadors and that God is making his appeal through us. We are the means of grace, that this gospel message is going to go through.

We're the ones who are his mouthpiece of his goodness and his awesomeness not know as soon as I mention evangelism, it conjures up for you and welcome different emotions. A wealth of them are some of you, you get a little bit excited about it. You had some really good experiences with evangelism. We've seen people respond to the gospel before others of you and probably most of you your experiences with the gospel. Haven't been all that positive. So when you hear the word evangelism. It strikes and you a spirit of a fear, you get a little timid and are there some anxiety there. It just brings up a little bit of trust trepidation because your experiences haven't been all that good and the very idea of having to kinda be out there as it relates to your faith is a little bit. It was just a little bit challenging. Here's what I want to ask you to do this weekend I want to challenge you to enter into me with the study of God's word with a willingness to let the Holy Spirit leads you as we look at an encounter that Jesus has with the woman at the well, the woman from Samaria.

So if you have your Bibles I want to encourage you to turn with me to John chapter 4 were to start reading here in just a minute. In verse seven, but before I do, let me give you a little bit of context at the beginning of chapter 4 we see that Jesus is making his way from Judaica down to Galilee in order to do that, you realize that he would either have to go around Samaria or he would have to go through Samaria to go around it went out about five or six days journey so to go through was much quicker but the problem is the Jews and the Samaritans hated one another.

The Jews hated the Samaritans for a couple reasons. First of all the Jews saw them as an inferior race when when the kingdom of Israel was divided into two kingdoms. The northern and the southern kingdom. The northern kingdom was taken captivity by the Assyrians when the Assyrians came in they moved a lot of the Jews out. They move foreigners in and the Jews that remained intermarried intermarried with these foreigners.

And so, over time the Jews began to look at this group of people. Just as an inferior race and they hated them because they'd intermarried with foreigners. There is a second reason that the Jews hated them it was predominantly because they believe that the Samaritans held false religious beliefs. The Jews believe that they worship the wrong things and they worshiped in the wrong places. So the Jews hated him. So as we pick up our story.

Jesus is making his way through Samaria.

He's tired from his journey, and he sits down and is at a well where he has an encounter with the woman of the Samaritan woman Celeste pick up our reading in verse seven, a woman from Samaria came to draw water and Jesus said to her, give me a drink first disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.

The Samaritan woman said to him, how is it that you would.

You asked for a drink from me, a woman of Samaria for Jews have no dealings with Samaritans and Jesus answered, or if you knew the gift of God and do it is that is saying to you.

Give me a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water and the woman said to him, Sir, you have nothing to draw water with in the well is deep. Where do you get that living water. Are you greater than our father Jacob.

He gave us the swelling drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock and Jesus said her everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. Water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life. The woman said to her to him sir, give me this water so that I will not be thirsty or have to come here to draw water to draw water and Jesus said to her go, call your husband and come here and the woman answered him, I have no husband. Jesus said to her you're right in saying I have no husband for you have had five husband and the one you now have is not your husband what you said is true. The woman said to him, Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet. Our fathers worshiped on this mountain but you say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship Jesus said to her, woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem would you worship the father you worship what you do not know.

We worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews, but the hour is coming and now is here when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the father is seeking such people to worship him. God's Spirit in those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth, and the woman said to him, I know that Messiah is coming.

He who is called the Christ when he comes, he will tell us all things, and Jesus said to her I who speak to you and he and then in verse 28, so the woman left her water jar and went away into the town and said to the people come see a man who told me all that I ever did. Can this be the Christ and they went out of the town and were coming to him. So this is the word of the Lord's prayer together and must ask the Holy Spirit to speak to our hearts as we dive into this text together God we love you and we thank you for these opportunities that we have as brothers and sisters in Christ to gather around the teaching of your word. Lord I pray that in these moments, Lord, your Holy Spirit would speak to us word. I pray God where there needs to be conviction. Lord I pray that they would be conviction. Lord, where there needs to be faith.

Lord I pray that you would open up our eyes to see how all satisfying you are.

Lord I pray that we would respond by faith and obedience to what you're calling us to do in these next few moments we pray in Christ name, amen. Here's what I want to do with us this morning when we look at this narrative. This encounter that Jesus has we see what faithful evangelism really looks like. So I want to draw out from the text for you five characteristics of faithful evangelism that we see from this we see from both Jesus and we see from the Samaritan woman of the characteristics the first two were going to look at more our disposition. How we are to do this how we are to write with relate with people who don't know Christ and the second three are to deal more with the how are the what the content of what were trying to convey. Okay, let's jump in if you're taking notes want you to write these five things down. The first is this faithful evangelism requires boldness okay available evangelism requires boldness and was interesting as you see that not only in Jesus, but you also see it in the woman first you see it in Christ. You see, his boldness in the very fact that he talks to her and when he talks to her is so surprises her that it shocks her look with me at verse seven. Give me a drink. He says to her in the Samaritan woman said to him, how is it that you a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman. I don't want you to miss all of the cultural implications that are found here because we understand the cultural implications we see just how bold Jesus is being right, history, cultural implications that we see three massive barriers that Jesus just presses through first teapot impresses me the barrier for being a woman right it was extremely rare for a rabbi at that time to talk to any woman, much less a woman from Samaria.

In fact it was so shocking to the disciples in verse 27 that when they walked up on it. They were just kind of flabbergasted by they didn't say a word to Jesus.

It wasn't because they were trying to be nice and courteous as he was having this relationship. They were looking at going. He should not be talking to this woman Jewish thought of the day said this one scholar said Jewish thought held that for a rabbi to talk much with the woman even his own wife was at best a waste of time and at worst a diversion from the study of the Torah which was a study of the law and therefore potentially a great evil that could lead to hell. This is kind of the thinking of the day in Jesus just presses right through that silly presses through this gender barrier. But not only that we see presses through this cultural, societal political race barrier by talking to a Samaritan woman we've already seen that there was great disdain. Jesus just toss right through that. But then thirdly the bus to another. I think is really important is the one that blows me away. The most and ask this.

This woman was a social outcast and we know she's a social outcast one because she's coming to the well alone and she's coming at noon right for most women of the day, they would've come to the well early in the morning and it would've come with a group of women they would've come together and they would've enjoyed it into the communal time they would've drawn water together and then they would've got gone out because they needed water for most everything that they use during the day we hear this woman. She comes out alone. She comes out with no one else and she's drawing water at the heat of the day, which reveals to us that this woman was seen as an outcast of her society, she was looked down upon. She wasn't welcome where other people were welcome and yet Jesus engages with her at an incredibly high level. Jesus boldly speaks to her totally disregarding the implications because Jesus is radically convinced that what he has is what she was incredibly bold with her. We don't just see it in Jesus we see also in the response of the woman right here she is. She's an outcast. You can only imagine based upon her sexual sin and the number of marriages that she said you can only imagine what it was like for her to live in that context right she experienced shame and embarrassment ridicule.

All these things were a part of her everyday life. Imagine what it must've been for her to go back into the town to go back into the town and proclaim to anyone who would listen to her column and see a man who has told me everything there is about me told me all about my sexual past told me all about my failures and yet loves me anyway she was opening up her cell. For more shame, more ridicule, more embarrassment, and yet she was so captivated by the love of Christ that she went and did it anyway.

Incredible boldness is a lesson.

The reason most of us are bold the reason most of us are bold. It's really driven by fear. We listen to that little voice and are set in our minds.

It says what are they gonna say what are people going to think what are people going to do when they find out that I believe that Jesus is all satisfying is the only hope in this life and the life that is to come. We listen to that little voice will summer church. I want to tell you we need to start listening to a louder voice. We need to listen to a voice that says listen going to all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the father son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything that I've commanded you, behold, I am with you what church always, always, to the end of the age. I'm with you. That's the voice we need to be listening to listen. I've shared with you before that my youngest son Alex is autistic and we often struggle with the best ways to lead him into leaving, spiritually, and so were always trying new things so the other morning.

I'm having my quiet time I see Alex in there and Alex comes over to me and arrived by him over to me and taken by the hands us. Alex look at me as he struggles with icons of looking mass, said Alex, your sweet sweet boy.

You're a blessing to me and you're a blessing to our family. I love you up to the heavens subpoena who loves you even more than me and he said me like yes this is not taken little sign is just so self-centered right. He worships himself as a known and not you. Jesus. Jesus loves you even more than me and he said Jesus and he walked away a few hours later I called him back over to me was still having my quiet time, but a few hours later, just in the hustle and bustle attack on bacteremia. I grabbed him by the hands Alex look at me me me eyes and said Alex your sweet sweet boy and you're a blessing to me and to our family love you so much up to the heavens. But you know who loves you even more than me and he said Jesus that's right that's right yes I kid you not. A few hours later Alex walks up to me and he grabs my hand and he says daddy talk to me to talk to me what you want me to say he never liked it or he never initiates that kind of conversation. He says daddy talk to me. So what you want me to say. He says, say, sweet boy and blessing and love me.

In Jesus, so I took him by the hands and said Alex your sweet sweet boy and your blessing to me, into our family love you so much up to the heavens.

But you know who loves you even more than me and he says Jesus and then he says to me will talk soon, Mike yeah will talk soon. Now, because of his repetitive nature.

We had this conversation. Like a million times since then. So is it really is wearing on me a little bit busy this lesson.

Isn't this exactly how I should be coming to my father. I should be coming to my heavenly father and say dad talk to me because I'm so easily forgetful. Talk to me and remind remind me of the promises that are mine in Christ Jesus. Remind me who I am in you remind me that you are with me, and nothing can frustrate the plans of God. Listen, there is a direct correlation between your boldness and the confidence you have in the one who sent the more confident you are and who you are in Jesus, the more bold you will be in proclaiming that message to a lost and dying world. So we have to listen to him listen to that louder voice that he is declaring you over and over again and that will result in the boldness we need number two faithful evangelism is relational again. You can tell that he cares about her personally because he's willing to engage her in spite of the massive chasm that exists between them socially and through gender and through racing and all of those things. But again, notice how Jesus engages with. He simply slows down and takes advantage of the environment and circumstances that are right there in front of him. Listen as Pastor JD reminds us all the time. Evangelism is doing everyday life with gospel intentionality. That's what he's doing here is just getting a drink of water but is turning it into a spiritual conversation. I was reminded this week of of of any of an illustration of a story that was told one of our pastors by one of our members to attend our Blue Ridge campus.

She's really been working at focusing on trying to slow down and create margin in her life. In order to share with other people and have a garden on the side of the house that she and her husband worked for like the last 20 years. She told when I tested. I'm just really trying to be more intentional. So what I'm doing is when I see people walking down the street are coming by the garden judges, move my way up to the edge of the garden near the rodents and as people come by offering fresh vegetables are offering some flowers and she said it's amazing what I've learned should have learned that there are three widows who live right around me one across the street one down the street and one behind me and we've begun to strike up this relationship and now I'm keeping a little prayer journal there.

So when they walk back and write down things that I can be praying for you see what she's doing. She's living life with gospel intentionality taking advantage of the opportunities are right before as people all.bind to gardens and does the things that she loves you don't have to go searching for evangelistic opportunity to have your eyes open to see the ones that exist all around there). It comes in and takes place when were highly relational.

Listen. That's why we been talking you all hear about Hoosier wine as we enter into this year of disciple making women talking with our small groups, helping them have a rubric to think through me given up a simple fish acronym.

The F stands for friendship. The I stands for initiating to the super spiritual. How do I take this conversation from just around general things to spiritual things the yes thanks for sharing the gospel teaching and equipping everyone with a simple bridge diagram that helps us see our sin and separated us from God but God demonstrates his love for us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us and he is bridge the gap between us and the heavenly father will respond him through faith and repentance we can be saved and then the ages, helping them make a decision to follow Christ is one step forward towards trusting Jesus. Listen, but see that it all starts with friendship and all starts with friendship and listen. People need to see that they are more than a project to you, they need to see that you care about them that you listen well that you care about who they are and what they're going through.

And as you do. Of course you want to get to the gospel. But listen, this is resident Joyner said people never believe you love them if they don't believe you like never believe you love them if they don't believe that you like them soupy intentional way that you can know whether you're doing that or not is ask yourself when you look at the last three months of your life. How many times have you intentionally spent time with people who were non-Christians. Just because you want to develop friendship with them. When you look at your phone and you go back over the last month and you look at the phone calls that you've made in the text messages that you sent. How many of those are sent to or may nonbelievers for the sake of building a relationship with them when we chase a little bit of a rabbit right here to answer and say one other thing when we talk about evangelism. At times we think about it like it's always in a one-on-one and yes, we always should be prepared to do that we all should be picked prepared with her on an airplane or in a restaurant or interacting with the cashier at the grocery store we need to be prepared to give a defense listen.

Evangelism will just take place one-on-one.

One of the most beautiful ways evangelism takes place is when you do that in the context of community in John 1335 Jesus reminds us that they will know that you are just my disciples by your what your love how they can see your love to see that when you invite them into your commute is why we encourage our small groups to do additional hangout for their creating environments informal environments that are natural to everybody enjoys doing, which can be a great plot way to invite people don't know Christ into that people can use their gifts.

Not everyone is real talkative.

Not everyone is real outgoing you got introverts extroverts got people at the gift of hospitality people at the gift of encouragement people are really great evangelist when you bring them into that context, the body of Christ is able to leverage the gifts within the body and people see that they see the way you love one another in their able to understand more fully what a life with Christ really looks like it can be done in communities to know that fateful evangelism not only bold is deeply personal and relational number three now can account to get into the meat of it what what are we trying to communicate in a listen. Fateful evangelism shows how Jesus is all satisfying fateful evangelism will show how Jesus is all satisfying. In verse 10 as he introduces the idea of living water. Jesus begins to gently help her to see that what she needs more than anything in the world is him the one who can truly satisfy your every longing look with me at verse 13 everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. Water that I will give them become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life to be see what he's doing. He saying to her, listen, I love how Tim Keller said he saying there.

My salvation is as necessary to use spiritually as water is to you physically, he continues to say to her, I am what you're looking for. The deepest longings of your soul can only be found in me and there and only there were you never thirst again. I love I love how Bill Hibel said it is his book just walk across the room.

Jesus is the only one who can say to those filled with shame like this woman, grace and forgiveness can come your way. To those who are bound up in destructive habits when the sun set you free, you shall be free indeed to the week. The strength from God to shrink the giver can be yours for the asking. To the weary. Jesus promises you rest for your weary soul to the poor richness of spirit to the lacking provision in due time to the grieving consolation and comfort to the sick and dying eternal life and new bodies in the life hereafter. Listen, come to that well and you will never ever thirst because Jesus is all satisfying. He's all satisfying Jewish Jesus is conveying this to her. We really begin to see in verse 15 that she still she still doesn't get it she says okay will let me have this water so I don't have to come back to the well and drawing again. So in order to help her understand a little bit more. Jesus turns it for.

Which leads us to our fourth characteristic of papal evangelism and that is this fateful evangelism confront sin, it confront sin in order to show how all satisfying Jesus really is.

He helps her to see clearly that her sin and how she's trying to satisfy the deepest longings of her soul the relationships just isn't working. Look with me at verse 16 he says to her and what has to be one of the most awkward terms of any conversation right is like going call your husband and come here and the woman answered.

I have no husband and Jesus said to her you're right in saying I have no husband. We have had five husbands and the one you now have is not your husband what you have said is true is incredibly awkward moment that is so poignant because here's the truth, some in church. We are all thirsting for something every one of us here is thirsting for something she was trying to quench her spiritual first the relationships through intimacy believing that the next guy. The next sexual encounter would really finally quench her thirsty soul.

Yet after every encounter she wakes up thirsty again. She wakes up disappointed.

I heard it described like this. It's like you're trying to bail water out of a boat with a strainer trying over and over and over again and you're not getting anywhere. Nothing is changing.

You keep failing but nothing ever changes. Same is true for us spiritually.

The thirst is never quenched. When that thirst is not found in Christ were not drinking of the living water. She's in a dry and weary land.

Listen, she's drinking the sand. She's so thirsty for her. It was relationships and sexual intimacy so the question for some of you here this morning. What's it for you. What is it that you are trying to be satisfied with is that promotion is finally getting married is that the financial stability or the new home or the car is it the acceptance and the approval of people. What is it that you believe will finally give you the satisfaction that your longing for listen fateful evangelism. Don't miss this fateful evangelism will show how Jesus is all satisfying by comparing it to the cosmic disappointment that is found when we turn good things and the ultimate things the way were to show Jesus is better is by comparing it to show by comparing and showing how these things over here are disappointing. And let's be honest. That is a hard thing to do. But that's the most loving thing to do to love someone is to show them there is a better way to love them and show them. If yes, Jesus is all satisfying and you're trying to find it here and you gotta turn and lift your eyes upon the one who can actually save you and give you that. Now here's what's so beautiful to me about this encounter Jesus confronts her sin… He confronts her sin while extending her grace.

One of the things it's so amazing to me as you read through this encounters that Jesus offers her the all satisfying living water, knowing well what her sin struggles were he doesn't say to her, listen, go get your life all cleaned up and then come back to me or you can have the living water which are going to have to earn it.

That's what every other religion says every other religion says listen you gotta do these things to earn the favor of God. Jesus is saying to you. You can't earn it, but I am going to earn it for you. I am going to do it for you. I am going to die in your place, and some of you some of you need to see this morning that the living water is a free gift of God, that grace is freely given and extended to her and grace is freely given and extended.

You extended to you.

It can't be earned through asking yourself some yes you are suffering. I will how can it be that, how is it that he cannot judge and keep shame and condemnation upon owner tell you how was Lisa the fifth characteristic fateful evangelism points directly to the cross. It points directly to the cross, immediately notice immediately after Jesus confronts her right, there's this awkward moment where he knows that all all she's ever done and she realizes that so not really weird moment. She's, like, well, I'm in a try to change the topic and unmask a theological question, so she says I'm tell that your a prophet and so she asked him which of these mountains is the true place of worship is the one year and some errors with the one in Jerusalem where the temple is in Jesus helps her to see. Don't miss this that it's neither is this woman believe me, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the father you see when Jesus speaks of the hour. Here, the hour that is coming when Jesus speaks of it in John it's always a reference to his death. It's always a reference to the coming crucifixion is a reference to the moment when Jesus would be taken to a different mountain when he would be taken outside of Jerusalem were criminals or persecuted is pointing to the moment where he would die on the cross is pointing to the moment where he would lay down his own life for her and for you and for me I want you to think back with me for just a moment as Jesus is hanging there you think about all the physical and emotional pain that Jesus experiences as he's laying down his life on the cross while he's up there. You remember he cries out and he asked for something right system thirsty Something to drink. See, it wasn't just physical thirst that Jesus was experiencing. It was a deep spiritual thirst is in that moment in that moment Jesus was taking the cup of God's wrath, he was drinking and he was drinking it all the way down to the dregs. He was fully satisfying the wrath of God toward you, towards me towards this woman. See, here's what Jesus was doing. Jesus became thirsty for you on the cross so that you would never have to be thirsting again. He became thirsty he wouldn't have let you drink of that living water is to come to him for faith and repentance is to acknowledge or need. You're a sinner and that you have a need for a Savior that your believing that Jesus has done everything necessary to save you and that you're willing to go into whatever he's calling you because he lay down his life.

Fateful evangelism points directly to the cross and shows Jesus did for us. We can do for himself or ourselves and so I want to say to those who have never drink drink of the water, coming drink today coming drink, and be set aside to give you an opportunity in just a moment to make that decision before I do, let me share with you to those of you who've already trust Christ. For those of you who are Christians, some you've already experience a living water that Jesus has had to offer. There's a challenge for you here. Trust in Christ of faith and repentance. But now God is calling you to this mission to faithfully evangelize and until you do. Listen until you do. You are never going to fully experience the fullness of joy that God has for you in this life and here's how I know that when the disciples came back to find Jesus talking to the woman after she left after she left everything she drops her water jar she goes back she trusts and after she leaves the disciples are encouraging Jesus to eat and what is Jesus saying or to them. He says in verse 32. I have food to eat that you do not know about my food is to do the will of members sent me and to accomplish his work. Seeley saying Jesus is saying I'm nourished by people who are being transformed by the gospel.

Therefore, we as Christians ought to be falling nourished when we fully engage in fateful evangelism. Jesus said to his disciples what I tell you. Lift up your eyes and see that the fields are white for harvest Summit is harvesting time and we want to help you with that. We want to get a resource you go to our website today you'll find on their ways that you can lead evangelistic studies with people, tools, and recent.

I tell you exactly how to do that resource that you can use to accomplish that any resources that will help you one on one with him one-on-one environments, thirty-day studies that you can do with people that will encourage you and encourage them to trust Christ, listen, let this be our hard Charles Spurgeon said of sinners be damned. At least let them leap to hell over our dead bodies and if they perish, let them perish with our arms wrapped around her knees. If hell must be filled. Let it be filled in the teeth of our exertions and let no one go unworn or unpaid. Let that be your heart must be nourished by experience the fullness of all God has for us by being faithful and then sprayed together. Heavenly father I pray that we are people be found faithful when I pray that we will see the fields are white for harvest and got lettuce be so captivated by your love so confident of who you are, that we can't help but be bold and proclaim the excellencies of Jesus is brought us out of darkness into his marvelous light father right now, Lord, I want to speak to those gathered in this place you have never never tasted of the living water that Jesus offers into you. I want to say today be the day of your salvation. If you realize that you been trying to squint your thirst and all sorts of things, good things that you turn in the ultimate things good things that are intended to put you back to the creator today in the day of your salvation. If you want to trust Christ and I will encourage write a simple prayer.

Pray this silently in your heart to God is nothing magical about these words just the posture of your heart. Pray this.I realize that I'm a sinner. I realize my sinner separated me from you, but I believe that Jesus came and died in my place to satisfy the wrath of God towards me and I believe you have done everything necessary to save me and I'm willing to go and do whatever you call me to go and do whatever you call me to be Lord of my life has non-US closing – a pretty Joyce want to talk when you were to give you an opportunity to talk to God. What I'm asking now.

Let us be filled with your Holy Spirit and go in passionately lead others to Christ, not for our glory of the glory of the Summit church but for the glory and fame of our Lord Jesus we pray
