The Bible tells each of us to “do the work of an evangelist” (2 Timothy 4:5). But have you noticed that some churches are much more effective at actually reaching souls for Christ than others? There are reasons for this. Because spiritual birth was the same in Jesus’ day as it is today, we have to allow the Bible to teach us the pattern we should follow.

There is a classic story Jesus told that gives us this pattern. If we will follow the pattern, and not try to skip steps, we shall each be effective evangelists. The pattern has already been set for us. This weekend, I will share that story and then attempt to show where so many churches have gone wrong, so that we can follow the pattern the Lord has set. And we’ll also hear a contemporary story to show us how its done today. See you there.
