SERMON OUTLINE, SEPTEMBER 25, 2011 The Power of Soul Winning

Biblical Text: “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth” (Acts 1:8).

A. You Shall Receive Power: the Spirit of God Changes Lives.

1. God’s power can change people.

Many people have changed because of God’s power in their lives: Saul of Tarsus, Kheng, more recently Dadid Robkhob, and Bounleut Phalong.

2. We cannot overestimate the power of God.

a) The Day of Pentecost

b) The reformation of Martin Luther c) The message of Martin Luther King Jr d) The Leipzig Prayer meetings of 1990’s B. You Shall Be my Witnesses.

1. Witnessing is showing others who you really are. That is what God’s power has made you. The gospel Matthew says, “You are salt and the light of the world” (Matt 4:13-16).

2. According to John 15:6, “You are the branches that remained in him and will bear much fruit.” You have power to live productively because he is in you, and you are in him, Jesus. Apart from him you cannot do anything.

3. The apostle Paul said “You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everybody” (2 Co 3:2). Everyday you live, every place

you go, everything that you do, and every movement of your life, people see your new life. They see Christ in you. You have God’s power that enables you to live as his witness.

4. The Apostle Paul said “We are Christ’s ambassadors” (2 Co 5:20). We are taking the message of reconciliation to the world.

5. Lastly, we are to obediently live as called, “to be fishers of men” (Matt 4:19).

159 C. “You Will Be My Witnesses in Jerusalem”

1. Where is our Jerusalem? We are to be witnesses where we live – to our families, friends, co-workers, and neighbors.

2. Where is our Judea and Samaria? We are also to be witness to people who are strangers to us in communities, our cities, state, and country.

3. Where are the ends of the earth? The ends of the earth are the countries of the World and all the people groups of the earth.

Conclusion: We have the greatest power in the world. We can overcome any obstacle or barrier whether geographical, social, cultural, or personal differences. We have the power to overcome hostility. We have the power to overcome ridicule. We have the power to overcome fear.

The World Needs to Know Jesus. The world lives in darkness. If Christ is in you then you have the power to be the light in the darkness. Jesus said to all people,

“Come to Me, all who are heavy-laden, and I will give you rest” (Matt 11:28).

If one is fellow workers, God’s field, and God’s building. One must take the message of reconciliation to the world. The world needs to know the name of Jesus. If one is God’s field, one needs to continue producing fruit. If one is the building in which God dwells, one’s life should reflect God’s caring love for the world.

163 APPENDIX 19 SERMON OUTLINE,

JUNE 19, 2011

The Call for the Great Harvest

Biblical Text: “Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, then comes the harvest’?

Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes, and look on the fields, and that they are white for harvest’” (John 4:35).

Introduction: Evangelism is our response to the critical needs of the human spiritual condition. The fields are ready as Jesus pointed out. The only thing we have to do is look.

I. The Call to See the Need for the Harvest A. The call to lift up your eyes

1. We see what we want to see.

With untrained eyes, we see things we would like to see.

2. Training enables us to see what we need to see.

With training, we will be able to see in a way that Jesus wants us to see.

3. Sensitive eyes see what blind and untrained eyes cannot see.

B. Looking Around Will Surprise You

1. The fields were ready for the harvest.

2. The grain of unharvested field will perish.

3. The one who harvests will gain the reward.

II. The Urgency of the Harvest (Matt 9:35-36) A. Jesus saw the multitudes with compassion.

1. The multitudes were distressed and downcast.

2. They were like sheep without a shepherd.

3. The field is ready for harvest.

B. The harvest is plentiful (Matt 9:37-38).

1. He saw the need for more workers.

2. He asked for us to pray.

3. We need to ask the Lord for more workers.

III. Marching Order for the Harvest (Matt 10:1, 7) A. Instruction order

164 1. Jesus summoned his disciples.

2. He empowered them with authority.

B. Marching order

1. Go to the lost sheep of Israel 2. Preach the Kingdom

Conclusion: To live an obedient life to the Lord Jesus we need to have passion for the lost and dying world. Jesus saw a world full of disease and sickness. The people of the world are distressed and downcast because they do not know the shepherd, Jesus. They live their lives full of frustration and hopelessness. Jesus was and is in need of workers.

He calls you and me to work with him to proclaim the gospel of the kingdom of heaven.
