Conclusion:
This section and the following are largely adapted from Roland Muller's text on reaching the Muslim community through the messenger, message, and community. Each area is briefly outlined.
Modern approaches to Muslim evangelism include the so called Insider Movement and Common Ground. Both compromise the truth of Christian faith in an attempt to win over Muslim converts. My contention is that one must trust Biblical truth, stand firm in the faith and present the gospel in a clear form to Muslims. Contextualization is fine to make a subject understandable, but the truth of the message must never be compromised. This compromise distorts the faith, undermines the position of true converts, and deprives Muslim converts to Christianity of the truths they need to experience the power of the truly committed Christian life.
An introduction to Spiritual Warfare. We will later look at common ways we open ourselves to demonic problems, and how to have victory and freedom in Christ
This concludes the brief outline of some parts of the Hadith. It is impossible to put all the tremendous detail of the Hadith in a few slides. In this slide series we briefly look at the Qur'an, jihad, women's roles and rights, dhimmi status, treatment of kafirs, prayer, zakat, Hajj, Ramadan and many personal characteristics of the prophet Muhammad.
Arabia was mostly desert. Mecca was a trade crossroads, with a deep well. Yathrib was in the best area close to the coast, with 5 tribes there, including 3 Jewish tribes. Most of the desert tribes worshiped stone idols and heavenly bodies (Sabianism)). There were a few non-orthodox Christians present. Tribal warfare was common
World Religions, including Secular humanism, Communism, and AnimismBob Patton, M.D., D.D.
An overview of common world religions, as well as animism, secular humanism and communism. Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Roman Catholicism, Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormonism are mentioned
The Islamic and Christian prophecies of last things are in many ways similar, but come to radically different conclusions as to the identity of the main players, especially the Madhi, Isa, and al Dajjal.

40 Days and 40 Nights_Jesus Our Promised LandStephen Palm
At Kadesh Barnea, on the borders of the Promised Land, Israel sends out spies to spy out the land. For 40 days and 40 nights they walked through the land God promised them. They found it to be exactly how God described the Promised Land, a land flowing with milk and honey. Ten of the twelve spies are overwhelmed and completely lacking in faith. They sow fear in the hearts of their fellow Israelites and disbelieve in God’s ability to deal with the giants before them. This unleashes a rash of 40s. God purposes to destroy Israel, but, once again, Moses intercedes for another 40 days and 40 nights. God relents, but there is a consequence. They will not enter the Promised Land for 40 years. Instead, they will wander in the wilderness waiting for the faithless generation to completely die off. It is a restless period in which the younger generation longs for peace and rest. As we enter the New Testament era, we again find God’s people longing for peace and rest. Although they are in the Land of Promise, they are there as servants of Rome. But Jesus, the Prince of Peace, came with a message that God’s Promised Land is more than a place, it’s a relationship with one who is our true Promised Land. He came to give us peace by solving our greatest need… a new heart and a different kind of spirit.

Witnessing to Muslims using the Any3 method, or that advocated by such evangelists as Bachman, and the problems with the CAMEL method. Contrast of Islamic beliefs with the Bible and truth.
There are incompatibilities between Islam and Christianity in the Qur'an (Koran) and Bible. We study the theological problems, the underlying philosophy, and support for Biblical truth
This is a summary largely taken from a book called Faith That Endures. The author has done more than document persecution. He explores the causes of persecution, their manifestations, and how to help rather than aggravate persecution. His book is very important and revealing
Attempts to compromise by using the Muslim friendly Bible and for the Muslim convert to stay within the umma, performing the salat, zakat, Hajj, etc. The Muslim convert is thus cut off from the benefits of the Christian church fellowship
Folk religion deals with evil spirits often with a shaman, etc. All major religions, including Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism have both a formal traditional religion and also some form of folk religion. This outlines some of the folk religion found in a variety of places among the more than 1,000,000,000 Muslims.
The Qur'an and Bible agree in many places, but also directly conflict. Islam uses the law of abrogation to handle places where the Qur'an changes from one position to another. The Qur'an also denies the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ, the deity of Christ, the rellationship between God the Father and the Son, and the trinity, all of which are vital to the Christian faith.
The Muslim family is strong, as is the umma, or Muslim community. Such characteristics as loyalty, honor, avoiding shame, hospitality, and the relationship of man and women are key. One's identity is tied to the family group. In addition to the father, the eldest son has great responsablity. Women's chastity is vital for family honor.
The five pillars of Islam are mandatory for every serious Muslim. They include the shahada (creed), the salat (prayers), zakat (alms), Ramadan (the fast), and the Hajj (trip once in a lifetime to Mecca). Here is a brief explanation of teh Islamic five pillars
Islam, the Hadith Part I, part of the trilogy along with the Qur'an and Sira, describes many of the traditions of the prophet Muhammad and Islam relating to jihad, treatment of kafirs (unbelievers, including Christians and Jews), rules of dhimmi, women, worship, and other topics. The personal habits of the prophet Muhammad are outlined in striking detail since the prophet Muhammad is considered the ideal for all Muslims. Although there are at least 6 authors, most attention is given to Bukhari, who is the most stringent author
The general outline of Shari'a law and especially the law of the Dhimmi (protected minority) are outlined in this section. There will be more details especially in the Hadith as well over these subjects.
A very brief outline of the history of the Qur'an (Koran) describing Muhammad's interaction with an angelic spirit identifiying himself as Gabriel, his visions, his followers writing down the visions, and the compilation into the Qur'an by Uthman.
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Renewed in Grace
5. The Gospel was for all
mankind
Innocence – Adam & Eve
Conscience – From the fall to the flood
Government – Noah to the tower of
Babel
God at this time was dealing with
all mankind
6. The good news started with
Adam and Eve
Mankind owed their very existence to
God, and He established the way men
should relate to Him
He established the consequences of
rebellion – separation from the very
source of life = spiritual and physical
death
8. God established the way for
restoration
God showed the cost of sin, but also
supplied a substitute and showed men
how to approach Him for forgiveness
Mankind abandoned God following the
rebel Satan
Cain actually murdered his own brother
in the context of religious worship
10. God sent a warning by Enoch
Jude[14] And Enoch also, the seventh from
Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold,
the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his
saints,[15] To execute judgment upon all,
and to convince all that are ungodly among
them of all their ungodly deeds which they
have ungodly committed, and of all their
hard speeches which ungodly sinners have
spoken against him.
11. God sent another warning by
Noah
He preached 120 years but was ignored and
ridiculed
Mt. 24:[38] For as in the days that were
before the flood they were eating and
drinking, marrying and giving in marriage,
until the day that Noe entered into the
ark,[39] And knew not until the flood came,
and took them all away; so shall also the
coming of the Son of man be.
13. God still was the God of the
nations
God dispersed the nations after Noah,
and especially by changing languages at
the tower of Babel after idolatry began
Acts 17:[26] And hath made of one
blood all nations of men for to dwell on
all the face of the earth, and hath
determined the times before appointed,
and the bounds of their habitation;
15. God still was the God of the
nations
Acts 17:[27] That they should seek the
Lord, if haply they might feel after him,
and find him, though he be not far from
every one of us:[28] For in him we live,
and move, and have our being; as
certain also of your own poets have
said, For we are also his offspring.
16. But mankind descended into
idolatry
[21] Because that, when they knew God, they
glorified him not as God, neither were thankful;
but became vain in their imaginations, and
their foolish heart was darkened.[22] Pro-
fessing themselves to be wise, they became
fools,[23] And changed the glory of the
uncorruptible God into an image made like to
corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted
beasts, and creeping things.
17. But mankind descended into
idolatry
Rom. 1:[19] Because that which may be
known of God is manifest in them; for God
hath shewed it unto them.
[20] For the invisible things of him from the
creation of the world are clearly seen, being
understood by the things that are made,
even his eternal power and Godhead; so
that they are without excuse:
18. Promise
Abraham was selected – but God’s
plan was to reach all people:
Genesis 12:3…And I will bless
them that bless the, and curse him
that curseth thee: and in thee shall
all families of the earth be blessed.
19. Promise
Abraham was called out of Ur of the
Chaldees to come out of the idolatry
there, but to begin a nation which
would be an example to all nations
Ultimately God wanted all nations to
come to Him through the example of
Abraham and his descendents –
including the Lord Jesus Christ
21. The patriarchs
The promise to Abraham was given also
to Isaac and Jacob who were to be
witnesses to the living God
Jacob was slow to learn, but he did
bless Pharaoh before his death, and
also prophecied about the blessing of
Judah to all peoples (Gen. 49:10)
22. The patriarchs
Joseph ministered to Egypt and the
surrounding countries in addition to
saving his people
Job, the most righteous man of his day,
was about the time of Abraham. He
was not, of course, a Jew
25. Moses
God judged Egypt and her gods. God
said to Pharaoh Ex. 9:[16] And in very
deed for this cause have I raised thee
up, for to shew in thee my power;
and that my name may be declared
throughout all the earth.
The message was to all people – serve
the living God
29. God spoke to Moses at the
giving of the law
Exodus 19:[3] And Moses went up unto
God, and the LORD called unto him out
of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt
thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell
the children of Israel;[4] Ye have seen
what I did unto the Egyptians, and how
I bare you on eagles' wings, and
brought you unto myself.
30. God spoke to Moses at the
giving of the law
Exodus 19:[5] Now therefore, if ye will
obey my voice indeed, and keep my
covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar
treasure unto me above all people:
for all the earth is mine:[6] And ye
shall be unto me a kingdom of
priests, and an holy nation. These
are the words which thou shalt speak
unto the children of Israel.
32. Israel failed at Kades-Barnea
Numbers 14:20] And the LORD said, I have
pardoned according to thy word:
[21] But as truly as I live, all the earth shall
be filled with the glory of the LORD.[22]
Because all those men which have seen my
glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt
and in the wilderness, and have tempted me
now these ten times, and have not
hearkened to my voice;
33. Israel failed at Kades-Barnea
Numbers 14:23] Surely they shall not
see the land which I sware unto their
fathers, neither shall any of them that
provoked me see it:
34. The goal in the dispensation
of Law
Israel was to be a light to all nations
Israel was to call all nations come to
the true God
The law was given to show the desire
and holiness of God
The law was given to show that we are
all sinners
35. Israel showed compassion in a
new way
Not only the widow and the orphan
were protected, but also
The stranger was protected – and could
be a bearer of the news to other
countries
36. Gentiles could join Israel and
participate
In the passover if they met the
conditions
In making animal sacrifices and praying
in the temple
Three of the women in the line of the
messiah were gentiles – Tamar, Rahab
and Ruth
37. Many of the Psalms are
universal in application
Ps. 22:[27] All the ends of the world
shall remember and turn unto the
LORD: and all the kindreds of the
nations shall worship before thee.
Ps. 46:[10] Be still, and know that I am
God: I will be exalted among the
heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
38. 175 references in Psalms to
the entire earth…
Ps. 66:[4] All the earth shall worship
thee, and shall sing unto thee; they
shall sing to thy name. Selah.
Ps. 67:2] That thy way may be known
upon earth, thy saving health among all
nations.[3] Let the people praise thee,
O God; let all the people praise thee.
39. Universal psalms
Ps. 100:1] Make a joyful noise unto the
LORD, all ye lands.[2] Serve the LORD
with gladness: come before his presence
with singing.[3] Know ye that the LORD
he is God: it is he that hath made us, and
not we ourselves; we are his people, and
the sheep of his pasture.
40. Israel must witness
Ps. 96:[1] O sing unto the LORD a new
song: sing unto the LORD, all the earth.
[2] Sing unto the LORD, bless his
name; shew forth his salvation from
day to day.[3] Declare his glory among
the heathen, his wonders among all
people.[4] For the LORD is great, and
greatly to be praised: he is to be feared
above all gods.
41. Some came to Israel
The queen of Sheba is an example
during the reign of Solomon. See what
Solomon had prayed earlier:
I Kings 8:[41] Moreover concerning a
stranger, that is not of thy people
Israel, but cometh out of a far country
for thy name's sake;
43. Solomon’s prayer
[42] (For they shall hear of thy great name,
and of thy strong hand, and of thy stretched
out arm;) when he shall come and pray
toward this house;[43] Hear thou in heaven
thy dwelling place, and do according to all that
the stranger calleth to thee for: that all people
of the earth may know thy name, to fear thee,
as do thy people Israel; and that they may
know that this house, which I have builded, is
called by thy name.
45. There was some outreach
Jonah was a successful (though
unwilling) missionary to Nineveh with
the greatest revival in the Old
Testament
Elijah went to the widow of Zarephaph
Elisha healed Naaman the Syrian
general
47. Many prophets showed that
God is the God of the nations
Mal. 1:[11] For from the rising of the
sun even unto the going down of the
same my name shall be great among
the Gentiles; and in every place incense
shall be offered unto my name, and a
pure offering: for my name shall be
great among the heathen, saith the
LORD of hosts.
48. Prophets show God is the God
of all nations
Micah 4:[1] But in the last days it shall
come to pass, that the mountain of the
house of the LORD shall be established
in the top of the mountains, and it shall
be exalted above the hills; and people
shall flow unto it.[2] And many nations
shall come, and say, Come, and let us
go up to the mountain of the LORD,
and to the house of the God of Jacob;
49. Prophets show God is the God
of all nations
and he will teach us of his ways, and we will
walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of
Zion, and the word of the LORD from
Jerusalem.[3] And he shall judge among many
people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and
they shall beat their swords into plowshares,
and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall
not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall
they learn war any more.
50. Prophets show God is the God
of all nations
Isaiah shows both the servant of the
Lord, the messiah, and the servant of
the Lord, Israel – are to reach out to
the nations.
51. Israel to reach out:
Isaiah
43:[9] Let all the nations be gathered
together, and let the people be
assembled: who among them can
declare this, and shew us former
things? let them bring forth their
witnesses, that they may be justified: or
let them hear, and say, It is truth.
52. Israel to reach out:
Isaiah
43:[[10] Ye are my witnesses, saith the
LORD, and my servant whom I have
chosen: that ye may know and believe
me, and understand that I am he:
before me there was no God formed,
neither shall there be after me.
[11] I, even I, am the LORD; and
beside me there is no saviour
53. Isaiah to all nations
44:[8] Fear ye not, neither be afraid:
have not I told thee from that time, and
have declared it? ye are even my
witnesses. Is there a God beside me?
yea, there is no God; I know not any.
45:[22] Look unto me, and be ye
saved, all the ends of the earth: for I
am God, and there is none else.
54. The fault of Israel
Israel became proud of knowing the law
Israel became proud of having the mark
of a special relationship with God
Israel failed to keep the Law and fell
into idolatry
Israel failed to recognize her own
messiah – her Savior
55. God’s chastisement of Israel
God allowed Israel to go into captivity.
The country of Israel was more corrupt,
and first was carried off to Assyria
Over a century later, the country of
Judah was carried off to Babylon
56. Israel and Idolatry
Israel had been enticed to worship the
gods of the nations around her
God allowed her to go to the very
center of idolatry – Assyria and
Babylon, where she was cured of her
idolatry
57. Israel witnessed during the
dispersion
Israel gave godly witness through
Daniel and his companions, as well as
Esther. Other godly Jews were sent
throughout the nations
The synagogues allowed the worship of
the true god in places throughout the
world
61. Israel and the Word
The Hebrew Bible was distributed, and
when the Septuagint was translated
into Greek, a form of the Old Testament
was made available to the nations
62. Israel failed in her task
Israel failed to show the glory of God to
other nations, but tried to imitate the
other nations – to have a king like
them, and false gods like them
She became proud of her spiritual
knowledge, but did not apply it to
herself
63. Israel is a warning
When Israel failed to fulfill her task to
the nations, God dispersed her
If the church fails to spread the word
through missions, what can we expect?
64. Jesus came as Israel’s
messiah
Jesus came and gave Israel a chance to
fulfill her mission
Only after her rejection of Him did He
turn to the gentiles
However, there are hints initially of a
worldwide mission, though He came as
King of the Jews
65. Jesus came as the promised
messiah
Jesus fulfilled the Law – He alone
Galatians 4:4 But when the
fullness of time was come, God
sent forth his Son, made of a
woman, made under the law 5. To
redeem them that were under the
law, that we might receive the
adoption of sons.
66. Jesus showed clearly that He
was the promised messiah
His ancestry through the line of
Abraham and David
The location of His birth
The time of His birth
His miracles
His teaching
67. The entire dispensation of grace
was hidden in the Old Testament
Jesus presented Himself as king of the
Jews.
His message – the kingdom of God is at
hand
The leadership of Israel rejected Him as
king
He was crucified and rose from the
dead
68. Marks of a universal outreach
Simeon’s prophecy: Luke 2:[30] For
mine eyes have seen thy salvation,[31]
Which thou hast prepared before the
face of all people;[32] A light to
lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of
thy people Israel.
69. Marks of a universal ministry
John the baptist: Lk 3:[4] As it is written in
the book of the words of Esaias the prophet,
saying, The voice of one crying in the wilder-
ness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make
his paths straight.[5] Every valley shall be
filled, and every mountain and hill shall be
brought low; and the crooked shall be made
straight, and the rough ways shall be made
smooth;[6] And all flesh shall see the
salvation of God.
70. John the Baptist statement
John 1:29[29] The next day John seeth
Jesus coming unto him, and saith,
Behold the Lamb of God, which
taketh away the sin of the world.
72. Jesus’ own ministry
Outreach to the Samaritan woman in
John 4
The Syrophonecian woman with a
demon possessed daughter
Jesus cleansed the temple, stating it is
a house of prayer for all nations.
75. Jesus teaching after healing
the centurion’s servant
Mt. 8:[10] When Jesus heard it, he
marvelled, and said to them that followed,
Verily I say unto you, I have not found so
great faith, no, not in Israel.[11] And I say
unto you, That many shall come from
the east and west, and shall sit down
with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob,
in the kingdom of heaven.
76. Jesus did miracles in the
decapolis – heathen area
Healed a deaf man
Cleansed a demonic
Fed 4000 man
77. Jesus teaching had universal
elements
Nazareth – showed that God did wonders for
2 gentiles – the widow of Zaraphaph and
Naaman the Syrian
His disciples are the light of the world and
the salt of the earth
The parable of the tares – the area is the
world
The good Samaritan – vs. the priest
78. The transition from Israel to
the world
Began with the invitation Mt. 11:28-29
Come unto me, all…
The parables of Mt. 13 had a universal
flavor
Beginning in Mt. 16, he began to speak
of His death
79. More transition
Jesus as the good shepherd Jn.
10:[16] And other sheep I have,
which are not of this fold: them also
I must bring, and they shall hear my
voice; and there shall be one fold,
and one shepherd.
Jesus before death: Jn 12:[32] And I, if
I be lifted up from the earth, will draw
all men unto me.
80. Jesus parables before His
death
Mt. 21:[42] Jesus saith unto them, Did ye
never read in the scriptures, The stone which
the builders rejected, the same is become the
head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing,
and it is marvellous in our eyes?[43]Therefore
say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall
be taken from you, and given to a nation
bringing forth the fruits thereof.
81. Jesus prediction on the mount
of Olives
Mt. 24:[14] And this gospel of the
kingdom shall be preached in all
the world for a witness unto all
nations; and then shall the end come.
82. The great commission was
worldwide
Mk. 16:[15] And he said unto them, Go
ye into all the world, and preach the
gospel to every creature.
Jn. 20:[21] Then said Jesus to them
again, Peace be unto you: as my Father
hath sent me, even so send I you.
83. The great commission
Luke 24:[46] And said unto them, Thus
it is written, and thus it behooved Christ
to suffer, and to rise from the dead the
third day:[47] And that repentance and
remission of sins should be preached in
his name among all nations, beginning
at Jerusalem.
84. The great commission
Mt. 28:[18] And Jesus came and spake unto
them, saying, All power is given unto me in
heaven and in earth.[19] Go ye therefore, and
teach all nations, baptizing them in the name
of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Ghost:[20] Teaching them to observe all
things whatsoever I have commanded you:
and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the
end of the world. Amen.
85. Jesus promised to build his
church
While on earth, Jesus promised that He
would build His church (Mt. 16:18)
However, He was still living in the time
of the Law, and the doctrine of the
church for the age of grace was not yet
come.
86. Jesus and worldwide salvation
Jesus showed Himself initially as the
king of the Jews
As time went on, there were more and
more indications of a worldwide
ministry
The final commission was to go to all
the world – not just the Jews
87. His disciples first expected
Him to come now as king
Acts 1:6 When they therefore
were come together, they asked of
him, saying: Lord, wilt thou at this
time restore again the kingdom to
Israel? 7. And he said unto them,
It is not for you to know the times
or the seasons, which the Father
hath put in his own power…
89. They had trouble
understanding the commission
Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power,
after that the Holy Ghost is come
upon you; and ye shall be witnesses
unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all
Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the
uttermost part of the earth…
But how – will Israel again say to the
nations: Come?
90. The Holy Spirit
Began the church by baptizing believers
into the church on Pentecost, uniting
Jews and gentiles into one body
Began to show the universal nature of
the church
Spirit-filled witnesses boldly proclaimed
Christ and 3000 were saved
92. The Holy Spirit and
evangelism
Essential for evangelism and the New
birth – John 3:3-5
Essential to convict men of sin, of
righteousness and judgment
