Week 6: Evangelism

Going with courage

18 / 18

You have reached the last lesson. Six weeks ago you may have been brand new. Look at what you now know: who you are, how to pray, how to read, how to trust, who lives in you, and how to speak.

None of it was meant to stop with you.

The commission is for ordinary people

Jesus gave the Great Commission to a group that included doubters. Matthew records it plainly: they worshipped, but some doubted. And He sent them anyway.

If He waited for people who had it all together, nothing would ever have happened.

Three things to hold on to

You are not alone. "I am with you always" was the last thing He said, and it was not decoration. It was the whole basis for going.

You are not the Saviour. Enormous relief lives in that sentence. You introduce people to Jesus. He does the saving.

Start where you are. Your family, your street, your class, your workplace. Nobody has to cross an ocean to obey this.

What now?

Pick one person. Pray for them by name every day for a month. Look for one opportunity to be kind and one to be honest.

That is how this actually spreads. Not by campaigns — by ordinary people who kept walking with Jesus and did not keep quiet about it.

Welcome to the family. Now go and make it bigger.

Read it for yourself

  • Matthew 28:19-20 — Go therefore and make disciples of all nations... And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.

  • Romans 1:16 — For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes.

Think it over

Sit with these for a moment. Writing your answers down helps more than you would expect.

  1. Who is the one person you will pray for by name this month?
  2. Looking back over six weeks, what has changed most in you?
